Re: So the big wedding happened this weekend - 8 weeks ago

Congrats to Lemon Drop, Speedy and their loved ones. It stuck me recently how we as a species find a way to insert love into every facet of our endeavors. Could even our most advanced computers count every love song ever written? Who knows? Our love of love may end up being our saving grace.

However more recently, not only was Guilfolye an advisor in the Trump administration, she has been engaged to Donald Trump, Jr. since 2020. The engagement was not announced until January of this year, which, given those involved, frankly makes me wonder abou
