No, I’m not a photographer. I’m just a girl who gets giddy when I discover a new blog or website with dreamy photos from someone’s magical wedding. Usually I don’t even know the bride and groom, but their pictures still melt my heart–I’m a sucker for this kind of stuff!

Prom Night for Ill Teenagers
Talk about unforgettable! The Friends of Scott Foundation is doing something awesome for some very ill teenagers in San Diego, CA on March 4th, 2011. Kids who’ve been diagnosed with cancer at Rady Children’s Hospital and Kaiser Permanente Hospital in San Diego will be treated to a fun-filled evening where they can forget about their disease and dance the night away. They’ll be given the movie star treatment–red carpet and limousine included!–during a very special prom night at the San Diego Hall of Champions in Balboa Park.

Feeling a little blue about the weather right now, I’ll believe anything Punxsutawney Phil says if it means spring is coming early this year!
