The Wildest Wedding Ever

Judy and I got married August 25, just before I started my sophomore year. This was the wildest wedding ever, bar none. We were married in the First Methodist Church in Colorado Springs.

I had Hammer cousins from the mountains and Baker cousins from the prairie. Judy had cousins from Kansas.
