Brian and Sharon's WWW* Album

*World-Wide-Wedding


Picture a beautiful, balmy, summer day in a forest somewhere in Oregon...

 August 12, 1995

JPG image(JPG image, 35.5K) Here's Brian (he's the groom, you know) and Mitch Simons (he's the best man) greeting guests as they arrive. I'm sure you can't tell it from this photo, but Brian's just a weeeee bit nervous. Michael Miller is looking over their shoulder at the photographer (that would be Thom), and you can see Tracy and Dennis Walker in the background.

JPG image(JPG image, 33.1K) Here's that Brian guy again. Who invited him, anyway? And what's he doing in that goofy white monkey suit? Didja ever think you'd see him in one of those? He might be smiling, but don't let that fool ya-- he's nerrrvous! "Do I hafta wait until after the ceremony to have a drink?"

JPG image(JPG image, 48.4K) This is a view of the scene from up on the deck. Yes, this is what our back yard looks like. Folks are starting to arrive now. That's Brian's brother Bruce standing up in the front. Brian's mother is sitting down in front of him talking to her brother Herb (with his wife Rita) and her sister Mildred (with her husband Harry), who came all the way from the east coast to be with us.

JPG image(JPG image, 50.2K) If you were standing right about where Bruce was in the last photo and looked up, this is what you'd see. Now you can see our house and the deck, where the last photo was taken. Just for fun, flip back and forth between these two photos to get the feel of the whole scene, but be careful, ya might get dizzy! For the full effect, though, you really ought to go put Enya on the Stereo.

JPG image(JPG image, 19.7K) Our good friends Thor Hinckley and Viki VonFumetti are some of the early arrivals.

JPG image(JPG image, 45.3K) Here's Tracy and Dennis Walker, probably cracking wedding jokes. You can also see Stacey and Tim Goodman, Cheryl and Tom Niehuser, and other folks chilling out before the ceremony.

JPG image(JPG image, 19.9K) OK, things are finally starting to happen. Time to switch the music again... now the processional (Elton John's "The One") is playing. Brian's trying to walk down the aisle in time with the music, but he's like, waaaaay too nervous to pull it off. That's our neighbor Judi in the foreground.

JPG image(JPG image, 35.2K) Here's Sharon's sister-in-law Debbie Thurheimer (you know, the Matron of Honor) and Mitch on their way down the aisle. Elton's crooning about reality running up your spine, and boy, he's right on target! That's Sharon's former boss Douglas Reiter right behind them.

JPG image(JPG image, 27.0K) As Elton croons on, Kaitlin the flower girl and Christopher the ringbearer (Debbie's children) head down the steps. Kaitlin was about one-half of a stair step ahead of Christopher the whole way down, which kept things interesting. Just about the time Chris would catch up to Kaitlin, she'd take the next step, so it seemed like she was dragging him down the steps! They were really sweet.

JPG image(JPG image, 36.0K) Here's Debbie, our minister Pamela Brown, Brian, and Mitch waiting for the bride to appear. In the foreground are Karin and Mike Stockwell (Sharon's brother and his wife), and Sharon's grandmother Verdell Stockwell. At the far right edge of the photo is Sharon's grandfather Bob Stockwell's nose. If he were writing this, he'd have something clever to say about that, but I think it kinda speaks for itself.

Everyone's attention is focused on the top of the stairs...

The anticipation is building....

And here she is... the lovely Sharon!

As usual, ol' Elton's got the mood pegged:
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Ooh, baby you're the one.

Phew! Too much drama! My heart's a-poundin'!
Lemme catch my breath a minute...
