Mary Louise Moore Torrese, 63, of Fort Mill, S.C., and formerly of Annapolis, the wedding coordinator at the Naval Academy for 23 years, died May 15 at Presbyterian Hospital Hospice Unit in Charlotte, N.C.</p>

<p>Like clockwork, Mrs. Torrese had a bride walk down the blue-carpeted aisle at the academy chapel every 60 minutes during the rush of nuptials following graduation each year....

<p>Wow...the end of an era. How long had she been gone from USNA? We were married at the Chapel on 12/18/99. Peace be with her.</p>
