Quarterversary – the 3 Month Anniversary Gift List
I love my brides. You all know that I do. Grooms are pretty ok, too. And they’re always saying, once the wedding ceremony’s done and they’re heading back home, “We’re definitely coming back for our anniversary!” I’ve taken to responding, “You don’t have to wait a year.

Beam me up Scotty with a Star Trek pin.

Purple Bride’s Bouquet
The bride asked for a purple bouquet. How pretty is that!? I love it.
