Newlywed Congratulations, Though We're Not Yet Married

Since we will give out the flipclips as wedding favors AFTER the ceremony, we shot a video with a 'Just Married' sign in it today. Now you get it.

ERICA: We just got back from a meeting with our travel agent Joan from Valerie Wilson, and I'm walking on cloud nine. FINALLY, a wedding planning task that does not completely suck.

We love every single one of her ideas, and aside from the teeny tiny issue of how the hell are we going to afford this, we were ready to just say "BOOK IT ALL!"
