The Reception

The celebration was full of surprises for the bride. Her sister --who was, according to Lori, nine-and-a-half-months pregnant and therefore unable to travel from Los Angeles -- sent a videotaped message that was played on a movie screen at the reception. The bride and groom were tickled when they exchanged gifts to find that they had purchased engraved watches for each other. And when the end of the night came, Daniel surprised Lori with a blowout karaoke party inside the mansion. Says Lori, People later told me it was the most fun they ever had at a wedding.
