The count-down has begun; one week to go before my sister’s wedding. As a guest who’s traveling out of town to attend, I’ve had to prepare and purchase quite a few items which leads me to believe there’s a conspiracy with weddings and the month of June!

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve attended fewer and fewer weddings which is beneficial to my pocket book. And, I suppose that’s one benefit of aging; since most people I know are already married there are few “wedding” expenses in my future. However, this year my little sister is getting married – a very exciting time, indeed.
