I was escorted down the aisle by my mother, Marilyn. Wasn't my bouquet beautiful? It's made of freeze-dried (preserved) flowers and contains special flowers which represent some special people in my family:

Dad: red rose	Mom: hyacinth	me: sweet pea
maternal grandmother: bachelor's button	maternal grandfather: California poppy	Takis: snapdragon
paternal grandmother: peony	paternal grandfather: red poppy	paternal step-grandfather: apple blossom

My dress was made by a friend of the family, Diane Clay-Lewis.
