The pre-wedding party was filled with several emotional moments. One of such moments was when Actress Kate Henshaw, joined by all the ladies, sang Dionne Warwick’s That’s what friends are for”, moving Rita to tears of joy. In her own speech, Rita stated that so many of her friends, many who were not there, had showered her with so much love already. Rita told her friends ‘I am honestly overwhelmed by the amount of love you all have shown me by being here today, your presence and warm words have made my heart melt like butter tonight. I will hold on to your words dearly as I go into this new phase.’
