A DECEMBER WEDDING

JAMES AND KATHRYN TIE THE KNOT

December 30, 2005

 

THE CHURCH

All decked out for the grand event!

 

THE GROOM

Flanked here by his father and brother, James waits for his bride to make her appearance.

 

THE BRIDE

In all her splendor and on the arm of her brother, Fritz.

 

MOTHER OF THE GROOM

We can only imagine all that is going on in this woman's mind as she prepares to witness the marriage of her youngest child.

 

EYE WITNESSES

Mom and Dad sat right up front to keep an eye on things.

 

THE START OF A NEW LIFE

  

Happiness doesn't get any richer than this.  When all is said and done, we have a new family to show for it.  Kathryn's daughter, Christina joins the new couple at the altar.

 

HAPPY HOSTS

Looking like ornaments on a wedding cake, the newlyweds preside over the festivities from their festive table.

 

LET THE FUN BEGIN!

Dancing a conga line around the photographer at the reception is one way to celebrate.  The groom's brother, John, is the man behind the video camera.

 

CATCHING UP WITH FAMILY

  

Camille enjoys the opportunity to catch up with family she hasn't seen in 10 to 15 years.  Her niece, Aphia for one and cousin Brian, straight off the conga line.

 

AND GOOD FRIENDS

James and Todd at the Rehearsal Dinner. 

 

HONOR THY PARENTS

    

The newlyweds made a fuss over Mom and Dad in honor of their 52 years of marriage.  James dances with Mom.

 

THE PLAYERS

 

Nephew Brandon worked hard to capture the moments on video.  Father (brother) Joe relaxes after flying in  from California to perform the ceremony.

 

WHO'S NEXT!

Deirdre and Jason, shown here outside the church after the service, are planning a spring wedding.

 

LOVE IS BLIND

Or so they say, and Aphia seems to be proving the point by blinking at the moment of the shutter click.  Michael and Aphia have been deliciously in love for 5 years.

 

THE NEW COUPLE'S NEW HOME

Kathryn's home is now James's home, too.

 

GRACIOUS HOSTESS

Kathryn engages Todd's family at the Rehearsal Dinner.

 

PREPARATIONS

Niece, Theresa and Camille pretty up a box for Wedding Cards the day before the wedding.

 

TRUE LOVE

It's contagious!  Bob and Camille, obviously in love, enjoy each other's company at the rehearsal dinner.  We are happy to have been a part of James and Kathryn's special day and used their wedding as an opportunity to renew our own wedding vows.

"Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop." - H.L. Mencken

"The hardest-learned lesson: that people have only their kind of love to give, not our kind." - Mignon McLaughlin

"When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age?  Everything else in marriage is transitory." - Friedrich Nietzsche
