Default Got married Friday...

My wife and I have been together for a long time, but never bothered to get the state involved in the process.

Well, we finally decided to get off the pot and make it official.

In a small ceremony in front of a Justice of the Peace, Ms. Rosa Carmina Iglesias became Mrs. Rosa Carmina Slocum and made an honest man out of me.

A couple of quick snapshots (not the best quality, waiting on better pictures to come back)

The cake (Don't let the ring fool you, it is the companion to her rock!)


The Bouquet


And a little blurry shot of the two of us.


Just wanted to share the fun. I was a happy camper before and this has only made it better.

Thanks!

As for the hair: The last meet I went to at the QS&L someone snapped a picture of me with my head turned. I didn't realize that my hair was so thin on top until I saw the picture. ZIP! Off it came again.

To Dave and RC: Congratulations! You should have told us. We could have had a parade of Vettes taking you guys to a reception or something. Hey, we didn't get a chance to throw a stag party. Well, I heard if you don't have a stag party before the wedding, you have to throw a "Jack and Jill" stag party after the wedding. For those that don't know, A Jack and Jill stag party is CO ED.

Congrats! And just because it hasn't worked for me in multiple tries, doesn't mean it's a BAD thing!

We just finally decided to make it official.
