I think I have builds through several scenes leading to an emotional crisis. Kind of like waves. <br /><br />I hadn't heard of the Vow, but I don't go to movies much, so I probably woouldn't anyway. :)<br /><br />Nice post!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308158251486924808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12216237.post-16991651044828794802012-02-21T14:23:07.195-05:002012-02-21T14:23:07.195-05:00I'm awful - I haven't even heard of this m...I'm awful - I haven't even heard of this movie.
