MOST MEMORABLE TIME/EVENT AND WHY?:     It has to be without doubt Steve and I getting married, as the Group did us proud.  We did not tell many people that we had the Group attending and many people thought they had come to the wrong wedding.   We even got married twice....  We were given a wedding targe and shown how people used to tie the knot.
