Kathleen and I met on a kayaking trip... and continued seeing each
other for the next 9 months, every weekend. She is an artist, a
teacher, a novice kayaker; she enjoys backpacking and travel...
and, best of all, she worked on an ambulance crew ! We can go out
together, and I can do really foolish things with the assurance that
she will put me back together. . . or, at least keep me alive until
help arrives. Who could ask for anything more ?

We were married in San Antonio, at Travis Park United Methodist
Church. This beautiful and historic church located in the heart of
down town, is my parents church and the church I grew up in as a
young boy.
|
|
I did kinda wonder immediatly after the wedding. Were those tears
of joy, or... ???
|
|
It was quite a 'family affair'. My brother, Bill, was the best man,
and my sister was one of the brides maids. Kathleen's two brothers
were our ushers and her sister was the maid of honor.
|
|
Of course, we had to pay homage to the way we had met... I thought
we should title this "Whitewater Gothic".
|
|
My brother, and best man, always the 'social butterfly', seemed even
more interested than is normal in the women at our reception. Little
did we know he had ulterior motives.
|
|
After the traditional toast, Bill announced to the room that he knew
there were several keys to my house that I had passed out over the
years. He said that, now that I was married, we really ought to call
in those keys. . . Every woman in the room, from 16 to 60, stood up
and dropped a key into a pan Bill provided!
|
|
I really didn't know women wore their garters so high up the thigh.
|
|
We served fajitas, and of course, had the more traditional Bride's
and Groom's cakes.
|
|
One more example of our love of kayaking was the Groom's cake !
The figures were sculpted for us as a wedding present, by my good
friend Tim LeVane.
|
|
Of course, you can't have your cake and eat it too !
|
|
And, "That's all folks" !!!
