As she began working on it, it led to frequent phone conversations with Steve as she had to often converse with him to discuss the amendments and progress she is making with the work.

The initial impression they had was that it was just a little party, not until the atmosphere changed and the event took a different turn.

The occasion was graced by friends and well-wishers of the couple, such as Ricky Jay, Tom Hanks, Eugene Levy, and Carl Reiner, among many others. Hot Rize provided scintillating and melodious music as he entertained guests at the memorable wedding. After their wedding, the couple set off to the French West Indies for their honeymoon.

How Many Children Does Anne Stringfield Have?

Anne Stringfield has only one child. In December 2012, she welcomed her first child, a baby girl named Mary Martin. This was indeed one of the best things to have happened to her husband, Steve, as he was 67 years old at that time while Anne was 40 years old. This was Steve’s first child, as he had none from his previous marriage. Mary Martin is now aged 11 years old.

Talking about her name, Steve once revealed in an episode of David Letterman’s show that another of their daughter’s names is “Conquistador.” According to him, he believes the name is distinct and unique from the usual Hollywood weird names.
