T...I love your thirteens, KJ (my imginary sister)! This one was especially beautiful -- I just love your what you said at Jess' wedding! It got me all teary. Your friends' wedding sound wonderful, too. The two men who helped me and Eli the most when we planned our wedding, had a Quaker wedding much like ours. Unfortunately, it wasn't seen as legal here, but to all who were there it was! They've been together for over twenty years. You should be able to spell check when you're in the composing window. There should be a little icon of a check mark above "ABC" -- click on that and it will highlight the words that need correcting.
