Although I am here in Chicago, I did not attend the Obama even held last night in Grant Park (Chicago's front yard, as many learned from the many reporters). A colleague (and friend) of mine, from here in my office, DID attend, and I've included a poor quality copy of her e-ticket/invite so that...

My daughter, Sarah, got married this summer. And since I wasn't a member of Active Rain at the time, I never filled you all in, so, here we go. Consider yourselves lucky... you could have been subjected to months and months of planning, and choosing. My daughter married a boy she met at College...
