04/18/08A Little Vent-age...
Okay, so I'm feeling the need to spill some guts here. The wedding is getting closer, and lately I've been feeling a little — how should I put it? — sick to death of weddings! Before you start freaking out, let me explain myself a little further. I'm not saying that I'm sick of my particular wedding — because, believe me, I am really starting to get psyched.
