Fantastilicious is my new word.  We should all use it in every day speech so that people around the world will have the opportunity to experience the perfect blend of fantastic and delicious for themselves!

I met Opal when I was a sophomore and she a freshman in college.  Opal is one of those people that you distinctly remember meeting for the first time because they made you feel so special right from the start.  I remember she gave me the biggest hug and seemed so genuinely glad to meet me -it caught me off guard in the best possible way and she has been so dear to me ever since.  It is always an especially wonderful experience to get to share in the wedding day of a close friend and Opal obviously has a special place in my heart because for the first time ever, I actually teared up at a wedding!  Opal and Brad are an incredible couple and we were so glad to get to see them officially tie the knot this past weekend!  Congratulations guys!  Here’s to a long life together, filled with happiness and love! =)

    Great photos! & Sorry to have to do this, but Opal — who designed your dress and where did you get it? It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
