Peg and I were joking this morning by phone about our "romantic getaway," visiting in a hospital. There will be time enough for us to celebrate properly. But on this day it's good to remember that Peg is on her way to recovery, our marriage is strong, and we have a beautiful daughter and cherished friends and family.
I thought you'd enjoy seeing some of our wedding photos. We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout (no, sorry, that's a line from an old Johnny Cash song). We got married in the outdoor courtyard of a little French restaurant in Denver. Peg's friend Gail's husband was a Methodist minister, so we asked him to perform the ceremony, although neither of us are Methodists.
Our wedding cake was a pyramid. I fabricated the bottom layer out of foam core, and the support shelves from Plexiglas. The woman who baked the cake estimated that the bottom layer alone would have fed 200 guests, and we only had 110, so she frosted what was essentially an upside down box. That's Margie, Peggy's maid of honor, on the right.
We took the photo of our wedding rings a few days after the ceremony, hiking at 11,000 feet in Peg's beloved Rocky Mountains. I think it says a lot about our new life together. Hold hands. Aim high. And breathe.

Hey Love Birds,
Has it really been 22 years. I remember the day well. So happy and fun. Do you remember when you stopped by my parents house on the way home from your honeymoon? We had chocolate chip cookies and Kona Coffee. Love you all.

You two were so sweet, young & naive back then. Now you're a slightly older, just as sweet but a much wiser couple who's love for each other & life is abundantly evident, an inspiration to us all. To many more years together, cheers! I love you both, Lola
