So my daddy passed last year, the plan was to get married after I finished school.(I’m 32 and in nursing school). Me and my fiancé have both lost our dads and I have no idea what to do.
I need help creating fun cocktail names after my dogs! We have a German short haired pointer named Waylon and a German shepherd named Willow.
