In the words of the late, great Rachael Ray, how easy is that? Now that I've filled out this quiz, I know that I want a wedding with an open bar, a Ferrari cake, and a performance by the Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Believe me, that's a lot more than I knew before I took the quiz. Thanks, actual wedding planner*!

*No actual wedding planners were involved in making this quiz. A few lawyers were harmed, though.

My first priority for the wedding is:

To re-design the gift certificate page on my website, www.katie-james.com, to start accepting wedding gift certificates to me to be used as "pay it forward gift certificate downpayments" on my future home, and that of my man who gets at least one closet.

No linking! We said no linking!!!

Although I guess that doesn't really matter. But still.

no no, you said no linking to YOU, right? Why can't I create free comment links to me? But alas, I will refrain from annoying free-comment-linking. It truly is rude. Although I don't mind when people I like do it on my blog. But when Unkowns do it, it's annoying.
