George and I actually had two wedding ceremonies -- first a Wiccan service at Beltane in the Park 1995 where we were legally married by a marriage commissioner, and again a year later, when we renewed our vows in a more traditional church service. These photos are from the church service and the reception that followed.

May 4th, 1996 was a happy day indeed for both of us.

In the limosine, on our way to the reception a few blocks away at the Ramada Marlborough:

It was a wonderful space for a reception; as you can see, many people had their own personal armchair to sit in while they ate:

... and amazingly, we both survived the experience! ;-)

Thanks *grin*. It was on sale when I found it ($250, if memory serves), the only one of its kind on the rack -- and it fit me perfectly. Talk about luck!
