In a funny turn of events, he has gotten several e-mails from women who are convinced he is actually their husband, working on this surprise for them. The real, honest-to-goodness Danny's Wife doesn't suspect a thing. Irony! I love irony! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Blisfully Domestic is hosting ...
