Thank you, everyone, for your kind words, wishes, and thoughtful comments. Angie-approved... yessssss!
Thanks especially to Sona and Anya, who put the bee in my bonnet about hiring someone. The cost was actually, like, 1/3 of what I imagined, so I'm going to go for it and avoid any future neck burns. One less thing to stress over.
AJ, yes, I admit I'm a bit misty. As a wedding gift, my fiance wrote the cutest song ever. He played it over a few times last night, making plans to have it set over the wedding video, and I must say I felt pretty mushy!
Debora, if you insist! Hehe... my father is actually our photographer. He was super into amateur photography for years. Walmart actually refused to make copies of his shots from my college graduation, because they thought they were professionally done. While irritating at the time, it's a pretty cool story now.
DL, I was also disappointed in BCBG. Serious design flaw here.
Bella, I love Amyreh's hair, too, though my hair is so heavy that it hurts my scalp and neck if it is up for too long... wow, sounds kind of creepy now that I'm typing it, lol. But the boy likes my hair down, too, so I'm pretty set on that.
