This is usually more true for customer support… for sales, they usually answer on the first ring..Hello Cathy friends!hendelca, that sounds like such a lovely wedding! I’m glad the weather held out, and I got a little teary eyed with your description. I’m so happy for you and best wishes to your daughter and son-in-law!

Hello Cathy friends!hendelca That sounds so beautiful! Again, I’m really happy for you and your daughter!
