My mother, who, BTW passed away in 2003, was with a group of friends who
had gone to an Arab neighborhood in Paterson to get something in a
particular shop, IIRC, said that they heard many references to the WTC
being shouted in the streets.

I don't think it was a wedding. No one saw a bride and groom or anything
like that.
