Once was during the vows, which were simple and very Catholic, and once was during the father-daughter dance. Weddings remind me that marriage is for BETTER or WORSE, and reminds me of why I fell in love with my husband in the first place. I think I have to have romance in my books because of exactly what you so eloquently said, Rocki--that life is better when you're not alone, that having someone to share the good and bad times makes all the difference in the world. Karin was GORGEOUS, Gary was classy, and the bride and groom were in love. I was at a wedding too, and I cried (I know, hard to believe) twice.

Karin was GORGEOUS, Gary was classy, and the bride and groom were in love.

I too was at a wedding this weekend, and in between my smiles and tears I watched my youngest daughter marry a wonderful man. He was grinning so wide when proud papa walked her down the aisle I thought his face would split in half. It was a most cherished moment to see the love shine from every part of him for my daughter. It's why I write romance too, Rocki. dabbing eyes. I too was at a wedding this weekend, and in between my smiles and tears I watched my youngest daughter marry a wonderful man.

I came across this blog by scanning another Author's (Judith McNaught's) BB, & I'm glad I did. I now have a new author on my must read list. Rocki, if you can bring this much emotion, love, tear-inspiring romance to a blog post, I can't WAIT to see what you do with a novel. Thank you for a phenomenal read. PS: My mom actually looked at the groom too my sister stepped through the doors---I think she might be the only mother in history to watch the <em>groom</em> when her daughter is the bride. She said it made her day---for the very same reason. The sheer love, emotion, and joy in his face (& the faint shine of tears in his eyes) reassured her on every level that he would love her daughter & cherish her every day of their lives. As an added bonus--she captured 'the look' forever on film. …WOW.

I think my sister has sent the blog post worldwide. :smile: Thank you, Jim, for giving Hannah to our family. We love her! (And what a party it was!!) Toni, happy to provide what you needed, and Lynn, lucky you for having a military wedding. I admit I'd never seen one before. Before it started, my son (15) wanted to know if anything would explode or guns would be fired. Men. They're all the same. Hannah’s dad!
