Rose – How did your family and friends react to your marriage?

At first with marriage, I think people were a little bit nervous for me.  I don’t know that they made Andre know this or not know this, I’m not sure, and I don’t think we’ve really talked about that.  But, I think that they were nervous for me, they were scared.  They were worried that my life would be different and that my life wouldn’t be all that it could be.  And again, coming from a big family—I have six brothers who are even a dad-figure in my life, my older brother and my younger brothers are just so overprotective of me as well.  I guess they just wanted to make sure that I was happy with the situation, and ready to take on whatever was going to be in our future.
