Echo everybody’s praises – great pictures too! Did you have a professional photographer do that for you? You’re a natural at posing too! Btw, tell your mom her broach is gorgeous as well.

The photos were taken by my fiancé with a point-and-shoot camera. There is nothing “pro” about them :P.

“Day, after day, there are girls at the office, and men will always be men…”
What an outstanding execution of a design. It’s fresh and retro (fretro?).
The color of the fabric, and the knees together…FIVE STARS!!!!!
