So, she's got a guy she's crazy about, a thriving business, and "fun" wedding plans to make, including finding an affordable reception site that doesn't have dead animal heads hanging from the walls, a non-poofy dress that adequately corrals her cleavage and a cake that isn't orange inside. "X" (she has a name, but why dwell on details?) is long gone, and Will loves Eva now-loves her enough, in fact, to want to move in and get married. Not that Eva has anything to worry about, really.
