Fruiting Plans

by harvestbird20 September 2009

Most of our big choices have been made, and planning is now mainly a case of following up errands behind the scenes. Our lovely rings are made. The groom and his party have been clad. The bridal party’s fabrics are at the dressmakers, being cut as I write this. Trade Me and other sources of [...]
