……………….I don’t think Jac or I really believed this was happening. It all happened so fast we didn’t have time to think or plan……Jac’s big question was….”what will I wear”. Jac was never a wedding gown type. She had worn so many when she modeled that they didn’t hold any magic for her…………so she picked an Ivory Anne Klein jacket and a silk top with black pants…..that was much more her style….However, we did have time before we left NY to get simple gold band wedding rings….Jac is holding the red flowers Andrea, on the right, picked for her from the flower bed in front of the Bellagio Hotel…..Does that meet the requirement for something borrowed?…We could hear Jean Pierre, on the left, weeping during the whole ceremony!…..Jac and I could barely hold in the laughter….Afterwards we all went to the Needle for dinner with the revolving restaurant, and the roller coaster on the roof……It was a little touristy, but we didn’t care…..It had the best view of Las Vegas….In the following days we went to Hoover Dam and went on the tour inside the dam itself….Workers had written their names in the cement….It was very interesting….Years later they stopped the tour because of terrorism…..We also took a plane ride over the Grand Canyon and over Monument Park….I sat next to the piolet and Jac sat right behind me…..She was petrified and gripped my shoulder so tightly she left marks in my skin!….We spent a few days in Vegas and saw lots of shows….What started as a lark became our favorite trip……Later on I did get Jac a beautiful diamond wedding band, but she always wore the simple gold one……When Jac passed I put her gold band on a gold chain and I have worn it every day ever since….it never comes off.
