Viola Davis Quotes
My first wedding was 15 people at our condo. The second was maybe about a hundred people at this fabulous casino. And you know what?

The best pictures are the ones people just take!" So, I put disposable cameras on the tables, and guess what? There were so many kids there that those cameras were stomped on. I had so many pictures of the floor, of people's eyes, of someone's finger.
