We got together with family and friends to celebrate 25 years of marriage on June 13, 1999. By good fortune, this day was also the 21st birthday of our son, Benjamin.
|
It all began in high school. Here is a picture from the first time Kitty and Charlie went out, in 11th grade. |
 |
Five years later, at the wedding reception. |
 |
Carole McCallum, our friend and former pastor, officiated. |
 |
Kitty's brother David lit the candles in memory of their parents, Lois & Al, and their grandmother, Verna Jarboe. |
|
Our maid of honor Delia Fernandez, and our best man, Erik Woody, again participated in the ceremony. |
 |
Our children, Benjamin and Carolyn, were our ushers. |
 |
Charlie's father Bill Hayden read the scripture. |
 |
Charlie's parents, Bill and Marye, and Aunt Sally Mitchell. |
|
Kitty's aunt Marty, brother David, Kitty, Charlie, Carrie, Ben, David's wife Catherine, cousin Toni, cousin Tommy, with his son Brian and wife Tammy. |
 |
The Embury choir performed beautifully. |
 |
Pete Isherwood played the organ. |
 |
Many of our friends and family spoke at the service. This is our friend Roy Samras. |
|
 |
In the Victorian tradition, after the service everyone gathered outside the church. |
We asked everyone invited to contribute their favorite music, which we played during the party.
|
After everyone had a chance to get a bite to eat, we danced the polka to "Shall We Dance" from The King and I. |
 |
Our dance coach was rooting for us. |
  |
Then we played "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler On The Roof, dancing with our children. |
|
After this, everyone joined in. Fred and Margo Klein are doing the twist. |
|
| Our dance coach, Patrick Cheney, taught everyone how to do the fox trot, the waltz, the rumba, and swing. |
