the wedding of Tom and Sharon: June 10, 1995

Almost Mr. and Mrs. Cloninger.  Papa Tom wanted to wear his desert boots and jeans but Evelyn insisted that he wear dress pants and dress shoes.  The compromise was Dockers and dress shoes.  My co-workers and I found my wedding dress over lunch one day.  I can't remember where now, except that it was not at a bridal shop. 

Tom's brother Jim performed our wedding ceremony.  My friend Cheryl was my matron of honor.  See the double doors behind us?  In 2008, that became the doorway from our living room to our current kitchen.  Looks like we were married between where the stove and island are now?
