Punkie and Christine...
sittin' in a tree.... K-I-S-S-I-N-G... first comes love... then comes... wedding photos! Some wouldn't have called our wedding ideal. We had next to no money; her family couldn't afford it, my father wouldn't bother to help. But I ate baloney and cheese for most of a year, plus I had enough savings to scrape together a meager engagement ring and a small wedding. We borrowed many items from people. Those that could help did so, and somehow, despite overbookings with white water rafters, unseasonal flooding, and a myriad of other problems, we managed to actually tie the knot. These are some of our good photos, taken by other people. The guy who did our photos ruined them by cutting off everyone at the head and filming a lot of ceiling. If it weren't for a few people who took pictures for us, we'd never have any pictoral memories to share. I want to thank those people very, very much.
Dee was Christine's maid of honor and best friend since they were 8. She's still our friend and we keep in touch a few times a year.
The cake was magnificent, I wish I had a better photo. We paid $75 and got a cake easily worth three times as much.
We respectfully didn't mash cake in each other's faces, since my tux was rented anyway. We never got to eat the cake on our anniversary, because a snafu with our apartment people left the cake packed in a hot car for two days before we had a place to unpack it.
Neal, my best friend since we were 12. We used to send cassette tape letters to each other until I got married. He's married now, too, and has two kids of his own. here he is trying to akwardly give a speech, only finding out just minutes before that he was expected to do so.
The panel... please rise. R to L are: Jackie, Dee, Christine, me, Neal gary, Vicky, and Robbie. Vicky was Christine's friend since high school, and she played piano for us during the ceremony.
Christine and Grig
Forever and always...
