Heh....thanks....!! We did have a legal/real wedding one later....and our 1st anniversary fell on a date BJ was playing our city. We saw David Bryan at a signing and he remembered us.

There was alotta stuff surrounding the engagement not on the vid, I should write something up on it. Some tidbits:

- The band did our wedding song (Bed of Roses) afterwards
- He gave us a bottle of champagne and gave the now-wife a big kiss. (she still brags....oy.) He uncorked the bottle en route to us in the crowd, and popped himself in the eye. He said he was temporarily blinded and almost had to cancel the concert.

It was a helluva night. And Bon Jovi are righteous dudes....they truly had an impact on our lives. The band, family, everyone around them...good people.

hey there,

Nope...wrote them a letter, and they responded. Talked to his Mom...she said they were used to getting so much depressing mail.

One of These Days, I should write something up on the experience. To see the inner workings, even for a short while, was amazing. And they truly are great people.
