-Looking for a used car online
-Attending the wedding dinner and seeing Alicia & Grace and Valerie & Charles and their families

Hey, you forgot the part about seeing the old couple come out of the temple and what happened then. Wasn't that a highlight?

Allison said...

Yes, Wendi, yes it was. But I'm trying to forget about it, not immortalize and celebrate it.
