Parents’ wedding album

Today’s world of digital photography, HD videography, online wedding registries, and bridezilla/platinum wedding reality shows is literally a generation removed from when my parents got married. On October 10, next Wednesday, they will have been married for 37 years. Ten days later, my brother Mike, one of the next generation, will get married and coincidentally, Alissa, yet another generation removed, will be exactly ten months old. (Alissa getting married isn’t even on my radar yet… let’s get through teething, walking, talking, potty training, etc. first.)

Anyway, I’ve been meaning to use some of this generation’s technology to protect the last generations memories by digitizing their wedding album so it can live forever in virtual reality in case it gets lost/damaged in true reality. So here it is.

A few things to note:
1. My dad’s handwriting was (and still is) pretty cool… I did not inherit his precision.
2. My parents still use a lot of their wedding presents to this day… that Corningware is indestructible.
3. I love the “Plans” section of the picture below… “that pretty librarian at the University of Scranton (as if there was only one)” from where my mom just retired a couple months ago:
