Elaine's daughter Marjorie wrote: Talking to my  mother today she mentioned how Shirley wore very thick glasses since she was a girl, but didn't want to wear them at her wedding.  She remembers Shirley telling my mother to  lead her to the alter since she couldn't see a thing, and they were both laughing hysterically right before the ceremony.
