Hedy Lynn & John in Greenbelt, MD

I always dreamed my wedding day would be like a fairy tale, but after the events of September 11, I was afraid that my dream wedding wouldn't come true, says Hedy Lynn. Although many were afraid to fly, my family and friends came through. I had guests that drove in from Texas, Michigan, Colorado, and California. The day was absolutely perfect. It was everything that I had dreamed of and more.
