Coming from the Chapel of Love

It has been quite a while since I last posted. I have been enjoying everyone's posts, so I thought I should muster up something for everyone. Recently, my Uncle Mark sent me some old pictures and I am posting one that I cannot remember seeing previously. It is my mother and father emerging from their wedding chapel with the bridesmaid Kathy (my mother's best friend) and best-man, my Uncle Robert (he is obscured a little, so it is hard to tell it's him, but I know it is).

It was September 1959 in New Jersey. They both look happy.

Like my father, my best man was my younger brother. Cindy's "person of honor" was her father. I just finished looking through a pile of photographs from our wedding; Cindy and I are not what one thinks of as photogenic. However, here is a photo from the ring portion of the ceremony. It was December 1989 in New York. We are both smiling at the trouble I was having sliding the ring onto her finger.

Interestingly, we were married about 30 years after my parents. This year will be our 20th anniversary! Time flies when you are having fun.
