Notes

for my friend Yvette’s wedding May 2024.

After leaving her abusive husband & a very nasty divorce, she was badly burned in an accident with a candle, 40% burns - lucky to survive; she’s had extensive skin grafting (altho’ fortunately her face was completely unaffected) over the past few years. Met a lovely man who she is marrying later this year. Truly a phoenix rising from her ashes
