EEEEEK! It's almost here! I'm getting married in just over 24 hours!!! Unless something happens, the wedding and reception will be webcast on my site (www.opalcat.com/cam) starting about 5pm Eastern time. :)

Tomorrow is the final fitting and pickup day for my wedding dress. Eeeee! Then I'm taking it over to Meghan's house where she'll keep it in her cat-hair-free closet for me until Sunday.
