Believe it or not, I got quite a response to my postings concerning my son's wedding. Quite a few people even wanted more info.

Well, let's start with the invitations, they were printed in raised gold leaf. I did think it was a bit much though when a Brink's Armored Truck delivered each one to the invited guests' homes.

And the Bride's gown. I mean I've seen long trains before, but this one required two full-sized Amtrack engines to get her down the aisle.

Naturally the ceremony was video taped; Barry Levinson directing.

I just hope they didn't catch the hopeful expression on my son's face as he scanned the Church when the Priest said "If any man knows why these two may not be lawfully joined together..."

The formal pictures after the service took longer than I had hoped though.

See, instead of a photographer, they had 37 graduate students from the Maryland Art Institute each painting a portrait.

None of the guests even had to throw rice as the happy couple ran from the Church to the Limo either. As a former member of the Air Force, my son was entitled to some honor, so he chose a low level bombing run by his old squadron of B1-B bombers who scattered the rice.

Speaking of the limo, I think it was damned nice of the Pope to let them use his Pope-Mobile, since he was unable to perform the ceremony.

We've all heard jokes about a newly wedded couple having to take the Bride's Mother along on the honeymoon.

My son and his Bride's reception took place on a ballroom-restaurant boat (only slightly smaller than the Queen Mary). It actually cruised the Potomac too.

I believe this is the first wedding where all of the guests who attended were taken along on the honeymoon.
