SACRAMENTO, Calif. --Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson said on the radio Wednesday that planning a big Sacramento wedding with 200 guests was a mistake.The mayor was speaking for the first time about his and his fiancee's decision to put their wedding plans on hold.The wedding was scheduled to take place Labor Day weekend at St. John's Lutheran Church in midtown Sacramento, followed by a reception at a private home.Johnson said he and Michelle Rhee, the school superintendent in Washington, D.C., decided they wanted a smaller ceremony with just close friends and family.The mayor, speaking to KFBK radio, said the change is because of intense public interest, but said he doesn't blame anyone.
