We received the rare opportunity from our son, Eric, who works for Sony Pictures. We were treated almost like celebrities with all expenses paid as well as an invitation to the private party after the movie.

That night, when we arrived at the Graham Chinese Theater where the film would be shown, a mob had gathered in front of the theater and people would scream, applaud and roar whenever the stars appeared. We were ushered into the theater through an underground passage because the front was blocked by fans.





Inside the theater, the seats were all filled but surprisingly, the film stars and many other important people seated alongside with the rest of us; among them were the couple whose true story inspired the film.

Suddenly, Eric came over and led us to the corner crowded with bodyguards where he introduced Mom to the leading actor, Channing Tatum, while I was looking in vain for the leading actress, Rachel McAdams.

We stayed at the party until midnight, and then we were chauffeured back to Four Seasons Hotel exhausted and still excited.

When we woke up the next morning, we found this poster for the sequel of The Vow;
Strange, we had no recollection about being part of the cast; perhaps the amnesia in the film was contagious ----
Oh, well ---
