I too got married at the age of 21 and my father asked for exact same request to let our love stand the test of time. My wife died from a an auto immune disease to the red blood cells. She died at the age of 23. And 15 years later I hear Raymond from Everybody Loves Raymond playing this beautiful tune, theme from love story and I just had to watch it.
Just think of my surprise when I see my life story playing right in front of me.
Though this film has several plot holes like the disease that Jenny got or why she got it, it's a great movie and in my case it's a sentimental one.
Watching this film was both painful and joyous to me like both of it sandwiched together.
