Separation of Church and State: Our First Wedding

Here is Josh and Cynthia (our Best Man/Ring Bearer and our Maid of Honor/Photographer) in the car on the way to the courthouse.

Now we are on the way to the wedding, but backtracking because I forgot the marriage license. Oops!
When we turned around because I forgot the marriage certificate

Me and Cynthia at the convenient store waiting for Josh and Leo:

This is a very fuzzy picture of the rings we got at Kay's, courtesy of dad's Kay card. Thanks dad! Owe ya one.....or two.....or....well....let's just say we owe ya! hehehe
the rings

We were a little early, so decided to get some gas. Yes: Leo's wearing a "wife Beater." No: It's not indicative of his husbandly qualities!! Leo's whole family does this thing where if they're going to a place of importance, they wait to put their shirts on until they get there in order to avoid the "car wrinkles." It's very practical, I think. I mean, why iron if you're just going to wrinkle up again? Anyway, it's very funny being in the car with more than one of his fam, all in their undershirts!

Our vows included "sharing our worldly possessions," which we thought was rather silly since we HAVE NONE. Mom refers to herself as "bohemian peasant." I liked that so well that I've decided it's an inherited lifestyle trait from her to I!!!! Worldly possessions be gone!!!! I hope our church ceremony lacks that part of the vow. After all, wasn't Jesus like, THE bohemian peasant?!?vowing our

Exchanging the rings........yeah yeah, I know: worldly possessions! So I'm a little contradictory. Isn't everything in life?

Are you wondering why my picture here is so much smaller than the singles of everyone else? Well, it was in a feeble attempt to minimize that extra ten pounds...you know, that the CAMERA adds on!

Cake from mom. Soooo......I got mad at Leo two days before the wedding, so I..um...ate a piece of the cake. Hmm...does someone eat their feelings? Then the next day, I had to go to work, so I ate another piece. Hey! I needed some sugar!!

Leo's brother Mike came over to have a beer. Here they are looking all tanned and ripped? Is that the word?

Boy oh boy! Just a little close-up for everyone! mmm mm mm. The cake was good, but this husband of mine sure looks yummy!!!
