My 1990 Gem.

Given that these are COIN boards, here's a ASE I got in 1990 to celebrate the birth of my first child. The images were created by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.
I just got back from a trip to Mexico City for a destination wedding for my eldest. She got married on Saturday the 23rd. I was a little surprised that she picked Mexico City as there are no family connections in Mexico on either the bride or groom's side, but as a father all I could say was, Yes. I gave her a budget (she is good with budgets), and let her run with it.
My daughter and her significant other have been an item for 12'ish years now, they met in college, so getting married was not a surprise. I like her husband quite a bit. My daughter asked me to wear my kilts to the wedding. The tartan is the family tartan.
Here's my eldest during the pre-wedding photo period. She is standing at the "altar".

@SkyMan.... Superb post and marvelous pictures. Congratulations to the entire family.
One question - Are the gray areas on the coin reflections or milk spots - I fervently hope the former. Cheers, RickO
Wow, stunning bride, and you look okay too.
Sounds like it was wonderful.

Does this make your daughter "Skygirl"?
She is a very beautiful woman if that's OK to say in our PC world.
Isn't there a traditional blouse for a kilt?
Oh, and nice coin.
So where is the groom? lol
Congratulations to you and yours.

Kennedys are my quest...
Except for the first image (which I took), these are first pass teaser images from the photographer. I have yet to see any of the actual ceremony itself. The couple of pictures I've seen of the groom don't show him off well. He is a handsome guy. Here is a pre-wedding staged photograph.

Very cool.
P.S. You've got better legs for the kilt than I do.
