Thanks, April....*waving* back!  Where does the time go?  It's passed quickly--but we've had so much fun and we are so blessed to have each other.

How are things at your house?  Hope everyone is doing ok....and that you recover quickly from your surgery next week.  Will be thinking of you and you'll continue to be in my prayers.  I'm sure it will go fine--and you are spunky so you probably won't feel a thing afterwards!!  LOL

I agree, CEK.  What a shindig.  At "destination weddings" do each of the guests pay for their own flights, accomodations, miscellaneous expenses?  I've never been to an exotic "destination" 


Let's play a game....do you know who this is.  Most of us should, I think.  Maybe 40 years ago or so.

Don't know, but she reminds me of Katia Gordeeva.
 

Yes, all the guests pay for their own transportation and everything else, and that is the main objection to them. Most people can't afford to do that. Since Ilya has so much money from winning that lottery, maybe he paid for everyone's hotel or transportation. More likely, he rented out an entire hotel (if he paid aything). Did you see the wall of flowers? Such opulence looked almost spooky to me. I wonder how much was spent on liquor?

My  DIL's half-sister's son got married a few years ago, and his mother spent $250,000 on the wedding. A year later, the bride left the groom! 
 

 Too often things like that happen....it is best to live simply, live well, and do small things with great love.
