20 Facts About Me
I got married on Halloween last year. I do like Halloween, but that's not why we went for that particular date. It was just the only Saturday the venue was free at that time of year. I wanted an Autumn wedding. As suggested in number 1, Autumn is my favourite season. I love the changing colours, the slight crispness in the air and pumpkin pie!!
