Music for my two left feet
Jun 11, 2006 I never knew selecting music for the wedding would be such a challenge. I’m finding that my earlier years of watching soap operas have really impacted my life. I try not to add every theme song from John and Marlena… ~200 words

Dance fever
May 7, 2006 The wedding is fast approaching–just a little over 80 days away. Doug and I have yet to sign up for dance lessons. Doug would be fine. He has a pretty solid history with the swing-dancing crowd, and could fool the… ~200 words
