Todd: OK, John could you tell us about your wedding day?
John: Sure, I got married about two years ago on May 18th. I got married in my wife's parents backyard 1. They have a really beautiful backyard, with a pool and it's nicely landscaped, with lots of nice flowers and bushes 2 and trees. It was a kind of a small wedding we only had about 30 to 50 people there, all close friends of the family, and a few family members who I hadn't seen in a few years who were able to make it, but it was a pretty small affair and we had the food catered 3, some seafood 4 and some meat, steak, type items 5, and it was a beautiful outdoor wedding. The actual ceremony only lasted about 15, 20 minutes. I cried, when I was supposed to like, deliver my lines. I cried and everyone told me afterwards, they were like, " I couldn't hear a word you were saying because you were crying, right!" and I was trying not to talk loud cause the louder I got the louder my crying noises got, so I was like "Ah, mmm, will you merry me?", just real quiet. But other than that it went pretty smooth.
