"Today, before I was about getting ready to walk out, when the music started, my heart was racing. I was really, really nervous. I almost starting crying uncontrollably. I held back (my tears) because I was afraid I will be a mess before I even walk out. So I kept thinking about other things, like my dog at home, just kept thinking about other stuff. I just want to be happy. Weddings are joyous occasions so I shouldn't cry."

Rockowitz: "(I said) Many things, and to her mother."
Reporter: "What were the touching things (you said)?"
Rockowitz: "I don't' know, ask her."
Lee: "He gave a speech before he introduced my family (to all the guests). My mom and my sisters, we're very close. He knows that I'm a very family-oriented person. He also mentioned that my father passed away when my mom was pregnant with me. So that's why (dad) wasn't here today, it's because he passed away."
