Activity for Angelica

Ok. So FH has a daughter with his ex-wife. The daughter is 8, will be 9 when we tie the knot. He has asked his wife for me if their daughter could be my flower girl. I'm not close to his daughter, but I want to reassure her that just because her...

OMG! My countdown is officially under the one year mark. I have a lot done already (venue is all inclusive, menu planned, attire picked, etc.) but I know the time will really start flying now. Any suggestions on how to keep my sanity? Lol.
