Sharon's Wedding

(Click on thumbnail to see full-size picture)

On October 2, 2004, my niece Sharon Disraeli (known to friends as "Roon") married Rob Brown at Cardiff-by-the-Sea just north of San Diego. The wedding took place on a roof garden overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Here are a few of the pictures from that event.

It was a mostly cloudy day, with the sun peeking between the clouds and creating some occasionally dramatic effects.

"You are now husband and wife."

"You may kiss..."

... and they do -- with gusto!
