My moms veil that she wore when she married my dad over 33 years ago, says Charlotte.
It was the most vivid 30 minutes of my life, Jim says of their ceremony.
Then, it was time for what Charlotte describes as a backyard dinner party.
Food was served family style, while Jims sister designed all the paperie.
Afterwards, it was time for an after-party back at the Diamond house.
