Mike and Leslie's Wedding

I just found this link on my daughter Jeannie's Facebook page last night.  I am not very knowledgeable about knowing how to post things, but I am going to try to post this in case you are interested.  One correction to the photographer's story--Jeannie's dress was made from one of my college dresses--it wasn't what I wore to  her wedding. (I passed that one on to someone else long ago.) Jeannie wanted to wear my going-away dress from my wedding in 1956, but it has developed holes in it for some reason, so she went with one I had dated in. The barn in the photos is on Brian and Mary Ellen's new farm they had recently had bought from the sons of  the late Harold and Novella Rix.    When Leslie decided to use the barn for their picnic reception, Jeannie gave strict orders that it must not be painted before the wedding. This barn had the well-known large star on it again this Christmas--the one Harold made and we all enjoyed for many years.Let's see if this works:

Click on "wedding dress."

I just discovered that one can click on "wedding dress" in red and see Leslie's pre-wedding bridal shoot.  Naturally I enjoyed seeing her mother, Jeannie, in the original dress.  Brought back many memories:  Jeannie riding her bike over to the farm from Carbondale for our drive to Paducah for fittings, etc., the AC being broken in our car temporarily and being upset that Jeannie did not get to cool off in the car after the bike ride over--tho she did not complain, a woman at one of the bridal shops telling us about her neice being recently killed by lightning during a thunder storm when she and father sought refuge under a big tree, and oh so many other memories.
