Not a big to-do, mostly just the elder family members. Both of my Grandfathers were terminally ill, one with leukemia and the other with cancer. My wife and I had been living together for some time and wanted these guys to see us make it right. The grandfather with leukemia was doing very poorly and couldn't attend. I didn't find out until later that evening that he passed on while the ceremony took place. We were packing our bags for Cancun when my mother broke the news to me. Needless to say, this is a bittersweet chapter in my family's history. Other than that it was a beautiful ceremony and honeymoon. -FB
