Actress Keira Knightly announced recently that she has no plans to marry anytime soon. Okay. I’ll just assume someone asked her because it’s the sort of thing pretty actresses get asked a lot. What amused me was her reason:
“I don’t want to get married in the foreseeable future. I’ve been married five times in films, had three children and countless proposals. So I think that’s about enough really,” The Sun quoted her, as saying.
“Also I don’t know how I’d top the wedding I had in Love Actually because it was pretty impressive.” she added.
Well, I saw an article today that may top that wedding for sheer excitement factor.
David Harms and Heather Randazzo of Granite City, Ill had planned to marry soon. On thursday, they were in a car accident. Harms was uninjured, but Randazzo wound up in the hospital. She was 37 weeks pregnant. The baby was delivered by emergency C-section on Thursday.
Yesterday, Harms and Randazzo were married in a simple hospital ceremony. The bride wore a white robe. Both families attended. The hospital staff provided balloons, streamers, and a cake for the happy occasion.
Best of luck to you, David and Heather! And also to your baby, whose sex, general health and name were not revealed in the article I read.
The last 2 weddings I’ve been to have been extremely simple register office ceremonies followed by the entire entourage repairing to the pub for the rest of the afternoon. In each case, it was not the first time for either party. In each case the couple merely mentioned online when the festivities were taking place. In each case far more people turned up than they had imagined would be interested. I’ve been to some lavish dos, but these were far and away more fun.
As long as the people you love are there, there really isn’t much call for anything else.
Ayyy!
The Belleville News-Democrat has the story, and informs us that
“baby Landon David Harms was flown to Children’s Hospital in St. Louis, where he is doing well.”
for which we may all be grateful.
Fenny: Sometimes simple really is best, and yes, it’s the right people that really make or break a wedding day however simple or extravagant it is.
Annalucia: Thank you for the heart warming update! It’s great to know the baby’s doing well.
