INTRODUCTION
On Saturday June 29th, 2002, we exchanged wedding vows. We promised to each other to spend the rest of our lives together, loving, trusting, respecting, honoring, and caring for each other...
The story of how We first met 31 years ago and how we ended up getting married is one that is sure to amaze. A tale so unbelievable, that only by knowing that we are real people can it be proven true.
THE SETTING
The ceremony was held at our home in the backyard. A floral arch, white canopy, tables, chairs, and decorations transformed the yard into an outdoor chapel.
Here's the view of the yard as you first enter it from the sunroom.

This view is slightly to the right of the arch (as you face the yard). Under the canopy were large round tables for guests to sit at after the ceremony.

This view is to the far left of the arch. The tables with the white linens were for the finger food and drinks.

Eva, Tom, and Mitch
Mitch Sabbagh was an elementary school and Jr. High School classmate of ours. Although we (Eva and Tom) were in the same class each year from 3rd through 9th, Mitch was in every class from 4th, 5th, and 6th, and then most of the same classes in Jr. High. We were very good friends back then and we were all excited to reunite last year. Mitch flew out here to Arizona from NY to be a part of our special day.

EVENING DINNER PARTY
We took the wedding party and close friends out to dinner at Suzie Q's. It was a fantastic way to wind down after a very emotional and exciting day.
