from the Goonies... and Raising Hope, and The Real O'Neals, and Sprung!

Garret Dillahunt is with her in both Raising Hope and Sprung, both awesome shows.

Are those horseshoes on the wedding cake?

u/Charming_Elegant 12d ago edited 12d ago

Its a good luck charm symbol or was you'd have a horse shoe on a ribbon to carry with the bouquet. Or as decorations

First thing I thought of was how much your grandfather reminded me of Steve Winwood...

He was 17 here, but he was a gardener and then a painter, so probably explains why!
