Ralph, up for...

Together, they were the embodiment of happiness; she always laughed at his many jokes and he thought she was a princess. At their wedding, which was at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Annapolis, Maryland, the family members who gathered to share in their wonderful and magical moment, cried many tears of joy. If ever one could "see" an emotion, it was on that lovely afternoon; the love they shared for...
