HERE COMES THE BRIDE Pene’s mother and
father were going to walk her down the aisle,
preceded by her children, but when the kids
got overwhelmed at the prospect, the
grandparents took their hands and went
ahead, leaving Pene to walk unaccompanied
down the aisle. She says, ‘It was such a
powerful, emotional and amazing feeling “presenting myself”
to my husband and to my friends and family. When I stood
alone in that beautiful stone arch looking at everybody I
loved, I had more confidence than I have ever felt in my
whole life. I wouldn’t change that moment for anything.’
