It's a Thursday.

But, it's not just any day. It was Robby's birthday.

So here's a nod to the most important man, ever, in the Bride's life. And cheers to the man who won her heart by exemplifying all that the Bride was raised to believe possible in a man.

And, oh yes. June 1 is Rainey and BIII's anniversary and June 3 is Frankie and Freda's anniversary. So it works out perfectly.

June 1, 2, and 3 belong to us.
