Even in their late 90s, Jill said the Carters were very involved in planning the party. Rosalynn wore a very beautiful diamond pendant necklace that Jimmy gave to her for their anniversary. He also spoke briefly to guests saying, “To my wife Rosalynn, I want to express a particular gratitude for being the right woman that I chose for my wife.” He also invited all the guests to their church the following day.
