Father of the Bride
« on: August 05, 2013, 10:33:08 PM »
So the photos came in late. Hey, they're artists, they refuse to be governed by a clock.

The wedding was on Saturday, June 8 of this year, at Whitehall Manor in
Bluemont, Virginia.  Friday's weather was loathsome, rain, humid, yuck.
Saturday dawned foggy, misty, humid.  But at noon or so the clouds parted,
the sun smiled and all was well.

For those who did not already know, when it comes to my daughter I make Steve Martin's character look positively enlightened.  
Nevertheless,  I did not weep.  Some observers thought I was close, but there is no
objective proof of that.

Clearly the best wedding I've ever seen.  I told the owner, in the middle of
things, that you knew all was well when you realized you needed a bigger
dance floor.  That MIT crowd is wild.

And now...things have changed....

Attached are eight of 1300 photos.

Your Daughter was a beautiful Bride Oldman!

Congrats to her and her new Husband.  :aok

My Daughter was just Married this last Saturday as well. I can say that the first time I saw her just before I walked her down the aisle, she broke my heart. It was a really great day!

I'll post a few pics as I get them sorted, but will do it it another thread.

Congrats Sir!

It's a wonder how us ugly guys(myself included) can produce such beauty.  I hope she has a long and happy marriage,....'grats
