Mazel Tov, RB and Cliff!

What a beautiful bride! :toast:

Wow What a story !
I have a lump in my throat so huge I can barely type this !!


thanks for posting this

Need a tissue...

and many years of happiness to you both!!! :D

Here's to a speedy recovery and the start of a new life together!
:toast:

I'm sure that news of rbnyc's accident was posted here but I missed it somehow, so this is the first I've heard about it. Knowing how excited she was about the wedding I'm thrilled that they went ahead with it despite her injuries. What a brave and resilient woman she is.

I hope someone finds a way to get her internet access for the 6-8 weeks the story says she'll be hospitalized. (My God, that's a hideously long time to be in the hospital nowadays.) Knowing how close she is to her DU friends, I'm sure it would help her spirits and her recovery to be able to stay in touch.

God Bless Rene and her beloved. May they have a long and happy life together.

I think there's another update, but I couldn't spot it.

sounded fabulous. I hope she finds another occasion to wear it. First anniversary maybe? Congrats to the happy couple!

except that now it's all a big smile here, for RBNYC and Mr NYC. I never thought I'd cry at a wedding.

Closest I can come --> :D

See what a tough bunch us DU'ers are! Cheers to RB and Cliff!

I didn't hear about the accident, but lady, you take the cake! I hope someone is passing all the DU wishes to you (and they'd better have a heavy duty truck, cuz there's a few tons of them!)
All the best, girl!

You look beautiful.....May you be so radiant for all your days together.

a beautiful bride!!

:bounce:

:loveya:

GET WELL SOON DEAR!!

:loveya:

May God bring you all the happiness for the rest of your lives together. :-)

Somehow I missed this story altogether. Unbelievable. She was, indeed, "the coolest bride" ever! Blessings to you both.

Congratulations to you both! A long and happy life together!
Get well soon! :toast:

Here's to a full and speedy recovery, and a long and blissful marraige!

But what a wonderfully happy ending to what could have been so tragic!

Way to go, Rene, Cliff, and baby! I wish you all the happiness in the world.

:toast: :toast: :toast:

DemEx

:toast: to your marriage and wishing you a speedy recovery.

They are both beautiful! Rbnyc, if you read this, may you & your husband have many, many happy years together.:-)

That is a pretty miraculous story--even more miraculous when you consider that Rene is a mother-to-be, and that she was in the car for 20 minutes.

Ah well.

She looks beautiful, and I hope both of them are very happy for years to come.

Best wishes from my family to yours!!!!

Get well soon!!!

Rick

:loveya:

RBNYC is definitely made of tough stuff. Good luck to the bride and groom on this special day.

Good luck and Mazel Tov!

AND WE CARE FOR YOOOOOOOOU!!!! CONGRATULATIONS RB & CLIFF!!! :toast:

She received the flowers from DU and she says they're beautiful and thank you very much.

She also said Diane Sawyer is doing a special about unusual weddings in the fall and she will be on it.

And you are a beautiful bride. Congratulations, Cliff! :toast: may the sum of your love be 1000 times more powerful than the individual parts.

My GOD!! Hasn't the poor woman been through enough?
My sincerest congrats along with the rest of your DU buds. L'chaim, sto lat, etc etc.

No longer cries at weddings -- unless they're my own.

....so happy for you both....you rest Rene' and let them take care of you and the little one....sending much love and healing vibes to ya'll! If there was any way I could come visit you and give ya a big (((HUG)) I'd BE THERE! :loveya:

Tenacious - the newspaper quotes a friend... indeed. Misses the thing I have learned from Renee - being in touch with one's spirit, viewing the world from that vantage point - in order to regain perspective (as in - even when 'blue' - recognize the opportunity to indulge and be in that moment... and in that being - one moves through it). In short, Renee even your wedding demonstrates to others the power of being and living in the moment. Even when that moment brings incredible pain, even when that moment brings an unanticipated tragedy, even when that moment throws the "BIG" day - and all of its planning - into chaos and question. It is clear in the picture (and from Flama's reports) that Renee was able to find that space of joy - in the moment - despite the circumstances.

Renee congratulations!

And thank you for continuing to be a teacher to us all.

:evilfrown:

Thank goodness she and her baby are OK!

Her husband looks like he adores her. How sweet.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for you, RBNYC.

And Congratulations! :toast:

Congratulations to the Happy couple.

Best Wishes and loving thoughts! :toast:

The part of the article that made me tear up was the section about her homemade wedding dress... what a labor of love. But she was a beautiful bride nonetheless! Congrats Rene and Cliff!

What a beautiful story.

:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

gads...haven't kept up with this wedding tale, but hope
RB gets all the wedding outlay back...

May the joy of your wedding day speed your healing, rbnyc. All the best in the future for the three of you and your family.

I'm sorry about the accident, but happy you decided to go ahead with the wedding. I wish you the happiest possible ever after.

My favorite part of the story was about the reception - where Cliff stayed with Rene at the hospital when everyone else went the the reception. Sounds like you found one of the good guys Rene.

Big, big hugs and warm thoughts to you both.

"chill" bride? I don't think so.

Big cheers and congratulations, and an even bigger thanks sent out that everyone will be ok.

A few weeks back after a particularly bad day, I logged into DU and saw RBNYC's baby announcement. Made me smile.

Here again, after a weekend that I never want to relive, I log in and find that first RBNYC and baby survive a car crash and then read this wonderful story about a wedding.

RBNYC - you are a true inspiration. Much love to you, your husband and the baby.

:toast:

And the love between them shows so beautifully.

Here's to the happy couple :toast: of a non-alcoholic beverage, since I assume she is on at least some pain meds.

Ain't love grand?!

You're every bit the amazing and beautiful woman I had imagined. Just look at that smile.

With your strength and courage, I'm hoping you recover much more quickly than predicted.

Congratulations!

Let's hope that you got all your BIG troubles over with this past week and that it will be smooth sailing from now on!

to both of you. Get well soon Rene - gotta catch up on that honeymoon business :evilgrin:

I'm just glad that Rene is OK and the wedding went on regardless.

Best of luck for the future!

Congratulations Renee and Cliff!!

My love to you both.
Get well very very soon!
:loveya:

All the best to Renee and Cliff and get well soon, Renee!

:hi:
