Don proved himself a liberated, secure man; he cleaned up the place that day, vacuuming while wearing an apron.
The morning of the wedding, Marlena prepared at the Gatehouse. She had her hair up in rollers, then had to get a blow dryer while in the bride's room at the church to finish her beautification.
The wedding almost didn't take place. Marlena's car wouldn't start, so she had to take a taxi to get to the church. The taxi driver took her to the wrong church, but she finally arrived at the right place.
