Sometimes, not always, but sometimes, I get to "meet" you bride and grooms out there in SMP-land.  You send me a sweet email regarding your feature and we chat back and forth about the specific details or just, in general, how very awesome you are.  Because, let's face it, you lovelies ARE awesome - and today's darling Houston bride?  She's like a crazy cool combo of seriously sweet + oh-so-chic, and from the very first "hello" in my inbox, I knew her wedding was going to be one of my...
