Hey, everybody!

For those of you who don... ah, who are we kidding? Who here doesn’t know me?

Geez, Mom! The stink eye already? I remember – short and sweet!

Sis, did you know I used to envy every shiny new thing you had? Yup, I was jealous of you. Can you believe it?

But did y'all know that she's still the best sister ever? She always let me borrow her shiny things and didn’t get mad when I sometimes took them without asking.

And now, here you are with your new husband, Nicholas...

...who looks awfully shiny from where I’m standing.

My inner magpie is definitely awakening. You wouldn’t mind...?

What!? It was a joke!

Ahem... okay, tough crowd.

Anyway... may your marriage be as glittering as a strip club’s changing room!

To Francesca and Nicholas!
