I don't think that I ever sat down and really gave it a lot of thought at the time. It was a happy time, but on the other hand, I did feel a bit like her looking back.

I just went with the flow. I did the easiest yet still traditional things. Just not a lot of obsessing over things.

I didn't do it for me. I did it for others. But, of course it was a special day. It was the beginning of a new family.

I did enjoy the party afterwards....
