A Few Last Big House Wedding Photos

Here are the last of the photographs of my parents wedding that I scanned when I was visiting my mom this past March (see Big House Wedding, October 15, 1953, and More Big House Wedding Photos).

Running down the front steps of the Big House to the car to head out on their honeymoon in Atlanta.

I was born a little over a year later. In 2003, my parents had their 50th wedding anniversary here at the Big House where my dad proposed and where they tied the knot.
