There’s a wealth of media coming up that I’m looking forward to, and it feels like a joyful consolation for summer moving towards a close (though it stays summery here until mid to late October typically).

They entered the outdoor wedding to the Halo theme, their cake involved Han, Leia, and Ewoks, and each table was themed after a different game, with each guest getting a unique […]
