"Having a Wedding?--Iet us help you plan etc." The ads
offer assistance to prospective brides and their families. But imagine the help needed for
a wedding witnessed by thousands. The Ryan's Hope crew was at St. Benedict the Moor
Church on time--before sun-up in-fact. The cast arrived shortly after.
Hours of preparation went into the proper lighting of the church,
the bride's dress-- |

details that kept everyone scurrying around and around and around. Part of the wonderful fuss of preparing Mary for her bridal debut was the
attention to details.
Aside from her traditional wear--Mary had a dime in her shoe--thanks
to Claire Labine and her wedding! |
While Claire Labine and Paul Avila Mayer
were working on the wedding script, Claire remembered her own wedding in 1958. And her dime in her shoe! It's an old Irish tradition and we're sure
Mary Ryan (Kate Mulgrew) loved every minute of it. Even her Irish lace veil is steeped in
the Irish Tradition! The handmade veil was supplied by a woman living in Carrickma-cross;
a small town in Ireland, famed for its lace.

Also an Irish tradition are
long and happy marriages (like Maeve and Johnny), we all wish Mary and Jack the same
success. |
Natalie Priest (Sister Mary
Joel) is thankful that jack is finally at the wedding alter. |
