This, I think, needs little commentary... the younger son of the groom daughter of the bride The vows are saved in a 6-minute movie which photobucket deems too large to load. If I can figure out a way around the limitation, it will find its way here later. LIkewise, there is a photo of the bride and groom standing before the officiant that leads off the movie that would be a great still shot if I can figure out how to liberated it from movieness.
