Batch #2

Okay. I don't know who is responsible for these pics but they are some good ones ... mainly post-ceremony, including the rather laid-back wedding party dinner.

It's Batch #1!

Hi everybody!

Welcome to our wedding blog . . . our effort to commemorate our December 26 union (and the coming July 30 delayed reception) by sharing as many great photos as possible with as many people as possible . . . using the Miracle of Technology!

This first batch is a selection of the many exposures graciously made by our step-mother (-in law), Jo Ann Weaver. They have been scanned, cropped and retouched for red-eye by our mother (-in law), Judy Holmes . . . a marvelous team effort to bring you the latest in wedding recording technology!

(Okay, typing the "-in law" thing is tedious. From now on, we're all just family.)

I'll do my best to caption the pics as completely as possible. Some caveats: Forgive me if I forget your name or get it wrong. Better yet, send an angry email and I'll correct the caption.

Without further ado, Batch #1 of piping hot wedding pics!
