Nope. I have all ten seasons on DVD. A few weeks back I decided that I'd try to watch an episode or two a night, but got sidetracked after I finished about 8 episodes so I figured it's time to get back on track.
Angel, that is a beautiful dress. I love the neckline and the skirt. It is perfect for your venue, too (if you're the same Angel from the Philly board, which I'm pretty sure you are?)

Our baker asked if we wanted her to put fondant on our CHEESECAKE. I looked at her blankly for a second and then said "Why would we want you to RUIN our wedding cake?" H kicked me under the table, but I didn't care.

Eagles, I want tall centerpieces (those candelabras), purple lights on the brick walls of the venue and matte satin bridesmaids dresses, haha. My style is not a lot of people's style though, I like bling and being flashy.
