Happy Anniversary!
Twenty four years ago Suzanne and I were married in a civil ceremony at The Green Shutters restaurant in Whitewater, Wisconsin. The formerly antique-filled restaurant/home is now the location of the Mercy Whitewater Medical Center, seen in the photo below.
We had a simple wedding for 75 friends and family. The ceremony was at [high] noon, and was followed almost immediately by a luncheon reception where the champagne flowed freely.
Most people don't know my 3-piece suit cost 4 times more than Suzie's wedding dress! And, damn, nobody warned us that getting hit with thrown rice HURTS!
We drove ourselves from the reception in our nicely decorated Omni 024. No chauffeurs for us! We then took it - fully decorated - all the way to Colorado for our honeymoon.
Man, I loved that car! It was truly my last new car until we bought the PT Cruiser in 2004.
Well... enough reminiscing for now...
