Hi Dave and Janin,


Here are a few thumbnails of the wedding photos I got. These 19 are the ceremony-related group. Click on a thumbnail to see the full-sized image. My theory was that this would be a way to show off the pictures  I got to you; you could download, clean up and print any you wanted. (Or take some time and compose a real website.) Making HTML took a lot more time than I'd bargained on, so I'll just do these and then get you a CD with everything.

There's also a group of posed pictures, one of guests (I think I got everybody,) a 'general ambiance' set and then funny (to me) set. I got 56 shots that I'm not completely ashamed of. But check with me again after I've taken another hundred pictures - I will be. I'd better get these to you now before my critical eye takes over.

It didn't dawn on me until the ceremony was under way, that I could give you pictures without actually violating your request that we not give you gifts. (That's why I have very few pictures of the ceremony itself.) Anyway, I hope you enjoy them.

 my only reasonable picture of the ceremony; can anyone else fill in?
