A Bachelor Extravaganza

Two weeks before Peter Mulligan and his wife, Sara, were married, his entire trading desk and other friends — about 40 people — took him to Las Vegas for his bachelor party. There were duffel bags printed with "Pete's Bachelor Party." There were key chains and cocktail stirrers. One trader had spent six months taping stickers on cigars for the occasion.

"It meant the world to him that people would travel that distance for him," his wife said.

For the wedding, Mr. Mulligan, 28, an associate vice president for international equity at Cantor Fitzgerald, thought about having fewer groomsmen but could not get below 14.

"That was just him," Mrs. Mulligan said. "Our friends meant the world to us. It was a lot of fun. We had two full large stretch limousines, and two guys walked down the aisle with every girl. So it was very funny, but it worked out."

That was May 5, 2001. They had a two- week honeymoon in Hawaii. He stayed home from work for a few days in August after hurting his back. Mrs. Mulligan keeps wondering, what if that had happened a few weeks later.

He was good friends with my Kennedy...

The year after it opened, I visited the World Trade Centre Memorial. I live in Ontario, Canada. Being extremely sensitive to my intuition and energy /vibrations around me, it was an extremely upsetting visit. When I approached the wall, I was at S17. Then upset upon seeing a "Mulligan" on the wall, I moved away. I walked kitty-corner to N-29, only to see another "Mulligan". Trying to rationalize why, I guessed that there must have been several Irish Mulligan firemen lost that day. On...

Pete,

Although I have never posted before ,I think of you every year on this day. I always will. May your family take comfort that despite the passage of almost two decades, many people they may have never met feel the same way that I do. You left an impression. Boston College - 1995

I never knew you personally Pete but I have the privilege of working with your brother TJ everyday. He talks fondly of you as well as your dad. I know that your family is doing well and most certainly is in good hands. Rest well brother!
