We did not have an official wedding reception immediately following our marriage ceremony (and related road trip).  However, a couple months after we tied the knot, my parents hosted a dinner just for immediate family living in the area.  We had a fabulous time, the food and company were excellent, and we are grateful to my mom & dad for their generosity!

Most of these photos were taken at my parents' house, and most are in black & white (with a few sepia-toned pics and a few color photos thrown in for good measure).  My step-daughter Layne, who is an excellent photographer, took most of the B&W photos.

For those of you who are feeling "left out," fear not!  We may still put together a bona fide wedding reception at some point, so stay tuned; we'll definitely let you know.  In addition, please feel free to check in at our WEDDING web page, as all related news/updates will be posted there. :)
