INCREDIBLE!! That's all I have to say! They are so wonderful! Thank you for
the revisions to the one to Todd (my fiance) it came out great. The one to
my parents, I cant express how much I love it - I wouldn't change a word! I
think- no I know my mother (and aunts who will be there) will be crying!
Perfect effect! I wanted to touch them and that is it! You took the poem I
gave you from mom and turned it around so lovely.
I think I am actually going to read Todd's at the rehearsal dinner also, just
because its less people and a better effect. (mom will cry over that one too!)
