Grandpa Cuff proudly showing off his two favorite
granddaughters, Roxanne and Alison.
Not to be outdone, Dad beams with his girls.
Ted and Mary Guzanek prior to the ceremony. Standing
guard over Mary is St. Patrick who welcomes all to his namesake church
in Traverse City.
Guests, looking quite bored, as they wait for the
service to commence; Tim practices his reading, Kern gives the evil eye
to the photographer, and Jack and Mary consult the program. Kim gossips
with Sarah and Haile, and Kaye and Alice just wait.
The best man, Cuff and matron of honor, Kathy as they
begin the procession.
The knot is securely tied once I put the ring on Paul's
finger.
The new couple "look happy" just as Fr.
Bill told them to do.
The bridal party, Kathy, Harlene, Paul and Cuff after a job well done.
Paul has just inherited seven adult children: from
left to right in back: Scott, Kern, Tim, Neil, Todd. In front, Amy on
the left and Anne on the right. Cuff, these are now your grandchildren!
The Ward family from left to right: Bill Welch, Roxanne,
Harlene, Paul, Alison, Cuff, and Connie Welch.
All the relatives in attendance. Identification upon
request.
The happy couple.
My sister, Joyce Carr, came from Londonderry, NH
to help her older sister celebrate. Without Joyce's prodding I never would
have met Paul.
It was a pleasure to work with Fr. Bill on all the ceremony preparations. He is a most congenial priest, and he encouraged us all along the way.
