Lynn and I are back from our honeymoon in Greece, and the wedding pics are starting to flow in. Here are a few fun amateur ones from the Hilbert-Makowsky wedding (it sounds like a Mid-20th-Century European Non-Aggression pact of some kind).

Looking for all the world like a dictator and wife after the putsch, here they are, the lucky couple:

With Philadelphia in the background.

The Very Reverend Michael Poteet delivers a stirring homily

Ernie’s step-dad Mike escorts Lynn’s grandmother Mimi into the boathouse

Lynn with good friend Katy, laughing at something . . . in front of a photo of an Olympic medalist who looks nothing at all like Ernie

Lynn and Ernie sing along with Neil Diamond impersonator . . . “Sweeeeeet Caroline . . . Bah Bah Bahhhhh . . . Good times never seemed so good!” You had to be there.

Ernie with his mom at the Waterworks

Lynn with her sister Jenn, possibly having last minute doubts . . . .

Lynn and Ernie, freshly married

The customized wedding CD sampler, designed by Jennifer Mercer, fabulous and absolutely free!

Ernie’s “little” brother Dave, making a dirty toast (I am just to the left outside of the frame with a concerned look on my face)

Lynn’s friend Melanie and sister Jenn in front of the trophy case, with drinks

And, of course, the wedding crashers . . . what’s a wedding with some crashers to stir it up a bit, and boy did it get stirred!

Stop back soon for more wedding pics and some honeymoon.
