Also, I just thought, didn't Stacey live near the Barretts? I assume since they lived near Pikes and Stacey lived behind the Pikes. Maybe she formed a relationship with Mrs. Barrett that way. I'm willing to accept that I don't know every detail of the girls' lives and relationships and interactions ;D (even if I would like to sometimes ;D)

A lot of summers (well, the one that kept repeating itself), Dawn would have made plans to go to California, so it could be that Mrs. Barrett knew that she would def. be able to count on Stacey being in town. I still think it's weird that Stacey was made a bridesmaid, but whatever. Way to pick a hideous dress, Dawn. Just kidding, the dresses weren't too bad back in the day, and I actually thought Mary Anne's necklace was pretty cute. Now, Kristy's dress on the other hand... And I love love love the scene at the end where Dawn and Jeff get off the plane in Stoneybrook and have that wonderful reunion with their mom.

^ I always love the reunion scenes between Sharon and the kids. ;D As for the dresses, definitely hideous but maybe back when the book was published they would have been right in style. ;D

I'd rather get a weird, interesting wedding present than the usual boring ones! I guess I'm way too immature for my age, but I still can't imagine getting all excited over towel sets and bowls.
The clown lamp sounds awful, though, I HATE clowns. But at least it's interesting...

^Ooh, i hate clowns too.
I actually do get really worked up about picking out towels and place settings. I love house wears! I love decorating and deciding on all the little stuff. My mom says I'm going to anger lots of people when it comes time for me to register for a wedding because I'm so picky and high maintenance.

I'm reading the ebook at work and noticed that. I'm getting weird looks as I can barely contain my giggles. That's so, SO wrong.
*sniggers*
In the UK, bonking/bonked/bonk is another term for sex.

^ Thanks. I'll have to check that out. I always love Suzi's chapters, anyway. ;D They're my favorite part of this book.
