I just wanted to drop in and say that my wedding is over and it went off beautifully! I'm thrilled to be back home (I had to travel for my wedding), but am leaving for Italy tomorrow.
Incidentally, I read Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer on the plane home today. I can't say I was really thrilled with it - it was somehow disappointing. Anyone else have any thoughts?

Congratulations! I hope you have a wonderful time in Italy.
I haven't read the Twilight series yet, but I'm hoping to get to it sometime this month...
Congratulations on having a successful and happy wedding and I hope you have a great honeymoon!
I've heard from a lot of people that Breaking Dawn is "meh", but I can't verify that myself. It has definitely made me question whether or not I want to read the series.
Congrats Swapna.
I read Breaking Dawn. I was dissapointed. Stop by my blog on Wednesday. I will post my review. I wanted to give everyone time to read before I spoiled the plot.
Ps have fun in Italy and show us pictures!!
Congratulations and have a wonderful trip!
If you are checking in after your wedding, then you are addicted to blogging. There is no hope for you now. :)
I have BREAKING DAWN on the way...I hope!
Congratulations! I've only just recently read Twilight, I'm a bit late to the party. I sort of was...meh...about that one, too much romantic young love angst for me, so I doubt I'll read the others.
I hope you have a great time in Italy!
Congratulations! I also read Breaking Dawn this weekend and was pretty underwhelmed.
My review is in Readerville
Enjoy Italy!
Glad to hear that everything went well. I hope that I will be so lucky! Enjoy your honeymoon.
Congratulations on your marriage! Have a safe and wonderful trip to Italy!!
Congrats Swapna! I'm glad the wedding went beautifully. I hope you have an awesome time in Italy.
I'm still waiting for Breaking Dawn in the mail-should be coming soon.
Congratulations! I hope you have a great trip. :)
Congratulations!! Wishing you a wonderful time in Italy.
Haven't gotten to Breaking Dawn yet but am tempted now that I've read some spoilers. Sounds like a lot of stuff happens in this book so I gotta check it out.
Yeah Breaking Dawn wasn't as good as it could have been. I'm glad a lot of things happened but it just wasn't as good as I hoped it would be.
Italy! Envious here:) Congrats and have fun! I'm in middle of Breaking Dawn too and it's blah.
Congratulations on your wedding and a lifetime of bliss.
Oh no...please don't tell me you were disappointed with Breaking Dawn. I will be reading it this week.
I'll have to let you know next week.
I'm tagging you! :D
