You just invite people over for a surprise birthday party, but really it's a surprise wedding. The bride comes in, everyone yells 'surprise,' but she's in a wedding dress. Then somebody in the crowd that nobody's noticed comes up and starts to do the ceremony.

When the bride is onewith her lover,who cares aboutthe wedding party?

They were assured in the wedding invitations that transportation to the ceremony would be provided for them,

We did it for a wedding reception. The bride and groom started it off with a bang.

Together they will spend a happy hour seated side by side..., while Ivy's tender hand guides Duffy's as he traces out laboriously, in pencil, over and over until he has them off pat, the magic letters of his name. More than the wedding itself, that little ceremony there under the lamp, all silent save for the soft scratching of graphite on paper, will mark the true beginning of their life together.

I used to go down every year for the remembrance of Elvis' birthday. Memphis State College invited me to sit in the auditorium and speak to the people for one of those Elvis days.
