I wasn't part of the wedding, but since the church is only a half block away and I knew what was up, I slipped up and snapped a couple pictures - including the bride arriving in her M37 limo. Best wishes to Anna and Cowboy Steve.

BTW, there's a car show taking shape right now at Pep Boys in Hackensack on River St. just behind the courthouse. I'm a block up a the USS Ling museum working on the trailer for their parade float. If anybody shows, stop by and say, "Hi."
