We had pink forms at each place setting with questions like how they met Sandi, their thoughts about her, and maybe a funny story.
Initially, we were going to read them, but then we decided to let the individual people who had the thoughts express them themselves directly!

When it was my turn, I got a little emotional, noting that this event, surrounded by her friends and family, was one of life's moments...
...so what better way to remember it than with a selfie!
And then we had cake.
