The year was 1998 and digital cameras were still in their infancy...but useful (like how these pictures are being posted before many of the photographs that I still haven't scanned ;>) ) My uncle took these pictures with his digital camera, which stored the pictures on a 3 1/4" floppy disk.
So, here we are at the rehearsal (which was followed by the rehearsal dinner).
