we got married

We were married at Stetson Chapel on the campus of Kalamazoo College on May 22, 2004. The ceremony was beautiful. The thunderstorms had put the lights out in neighboring counties the day before, and some of our guests were evacuated from the Radisson hotel downtown. On the day of the wedding itself, the rain held off until 2:30 or so, when they finally kicked everyone out of Waldo's and Peggy and I were walking home across campus.

None of that shows up in the pictures, except for the ominous grey sky in the background of some of them. We were thrilled to be able to celebrate our committment to each other with so many members of our famililes and with so many friends from far away.

Most of the excellent photography below is the work of Keith Mumma, who lives in Kalamazoo and who I knew from my days in troop #205. Thank you, Keith, for your hard work that Saturday.
