Past perfect?

The photo album is a mixture of love, beauty and great times! I was laughing so hard at the photos and it brought me back to that night of matrimony. What a wondrous occasion that night had been and I'm very grateful to be a part of it all!

Can the past perfect tense be used here? How does it describe an event before another past event?

Thanks!
