the only time I cried...

The most touching moment for me (and many others, I think) took place during the reception when Jacquie's bouquet of lilacs & lily of the valley was presented to a very special lady. Her name is Glo - and she is Dan's maternal grandmother. She recently learned that her cancer had returned and had to start chemotherapy again. A few weeks ago, her doctor suspended her treatment so she would feel well enough to attend the wedding. During the reception, instead of throwing her bouquet to a gaggle of single women, Jacquie asked all couples in attendance who have been married at least 20 years to stand. 30 years. 40 years or more. Finally, the only couple standing was Dan's grandmother & grandfather...and to honor them and the celebration of a committed marriage, the bouquet was given to Glo. It was a very touching moment since most of us knew that her presence was a gift. Glo cried, I cried along with many others...and we all gave them a standing ovation.
