My father married my step-mother when I was 9 years old and I got a day off school to attend the wedding. When I went back to school and told all my friends about the wedding I thought it was really mean that everyone else's parents didn't invite them to thier weddings. It didn't occur to me that other people's parents were married before the children were born. I just thought I was lucky cause my parents let me go to the rockin' party they had after the wedding.
