Here is my money!!! I am rich!!!! One "Restaurant" and one is a bathroom.

Here is the living room where we talked and stuff.



here is the house, like, 15 of us stayed in when we visited this tiny town called Schwamea (sp?) Right on the beach!!!

Wedding Log Stardate 10.02.2008 AKA: The dress cont'd






So, I don't feel like typing a lot.


Here is the detailing on my dress. It is lovely and summery and kind of hippy-y and unique and I love it!


The ribbon was supposed to be brown and it has a reddish tint to it but it doesn't really bother me. It will also be thinner. :)


I am very happy!
