Yeah, Francis is missed everywhere...
CJ, No, not SC state debutante ball.
Then it's got to be North Carolina.
Well, yes. REally getting close...
There's a hint on this thread, but I'm not revealing where.

My brother really went "big time" when he did his son's wedding. The wedding party included eight grooomsmen and 8 bridesmaids - the biggest wedding I've ever attended.
