Wedding Pictures! - 7/24/1998

These are some of the pictures that got taken during the wedding and at the party/reception afterwards. The wedding was held in our living room and the party was a catered barbeque picnic in the back yard.

Now, you're probably thinking that we're missing the classic "Here are the couple, posed like Barbie and Ken" picture... Well, you're right. And, believe me, I've been reminded about that often enough by Anna. I keep telling her that I didn't remember about it, but I'll make sure I do it right the next time I get married. Needless to say, this doesn't amuse her...

The Wedding Cake

The wedding cake
Isn't it a lovely cake?

Someone mentioned that with our names this way we look like "Banana", so, ever since then, we usually go by "Anna & Ben".
The first cut
We were afraid to spoil it (not really), but we went ahead and made the first cut.
Anna eating the first piece
Of course, everyone wanted me to do a big piece for her, so I tried my best, but she didn't eat all of it.
Ben eating the first (second?) piece
In retaliation, I expected to be wiping cake off my face, so I took off my glasses, but she was much nicer than I expected.

Don't we make a cute couple? Of course, I like this picture because I almost look taller than my blushing bride...
