BUILDING OUR BOAT

Peter and I had definitely taken the road less traveled. First came love, for sure, but instead of marriage, we had jumped right to the baby carriage. Now, I can’t see doing it any other way, not only because having Luca was the best thing that had happened to both of us, but because it gave us the time, as Peter used to say, to “build our boat.” This meant that we took our time to work on creating a relationship, a family, that would have staying power. And we were, by the time 90210 wrapped, doing a pretty good job of it.

When he proposed to me, I knew that it meant so much to him, to us—more than I can even describe here. It was so much about our both wanting to stand before our families, not only in honor of each other, but in honor of them, and to acknowledge how gratefully interconnected we felt. Getting married was a decision that I knew took Peter a while to come to. I knew he had given it so much thought and consideration. I took this really seriously and even converted to Catholicism so we could have a traditional Catholic wedding mass.

I loved the planning of it. I decided on a white-and-deep-red theme. We decided to make the wedding something of a “queen’s affair,” because Peter had three older sisters serving as his attendants that day, and I had three of my sisters attending me.

My dress was so dramatic, especially the train, which was superlong and embellished with a huge, hand-stitched silver cross at the bottom. It had a swooping, off-the-shoulder neckline that was so romantic. Sweet Luca would also be wearing a Reem Acra gown that had been custom-made for her to match mine. I knew Peter would love this.

But even more dramatic was my hair, which had been shot through with chunks of honey brown. It was piled on my head in a way that seemed to take many of our guests by surprise. It was edgy and unexpected and daring, which was just what I wanted to complement my traditional gown. I loved it! But it did, I’ll admit, look a bit like my hairstylist, Kelly, had set a fountain on the top of my head.

Luca looked like an angel that had dropped straight down from heaven. She had her luscious ringlets set just so, and her dress was adorned with a deep red sash, the same color as the bridesmaids’ dresses. She solemnly carried a small wicker basket filled with fresh red rose petals. Just as she was about to make her way down the aisle, the priest told her not to
