WHO WANTS TO GET MARRIED NEXT!

Here's a picture of two brides-to-be: Isa and Iya. A few of us accompanied them to the bridal expo today at the Orange County Fairgrounds. It was like walking through Santee in downtown: vendors galore, all selling the same stuff, plus the crowds! It was pretty crazy! I learned this year as I was doing research on my final paper, that weddings in the U.S. ALONE, is a $2 billion industry. $2 BILLION! That's a lot of flowers, dresses, tuxes, hotels and other stuff!

Here's to a year's worth (give or take a month) of planning!!! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE INVOLVED!
