Dear Tamara:
My fiancé has asked me to move in with him. We have been together for three years and engaged for almost a year now. We have not yet set a wedding date because we each have another year of school left and we both want to wait until we graduate college before getting married. In a way it makes perfect sense that we move in together.

DVD extras: “making-of” documentary; audio commentary by Russell. **** (R: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray)

Typically when I see someone doing accessories wrong it’s either one or two things. Either the person is under accessorized or they’re over accessorized.
