Steve:  I returned from Tech School at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver, Colorado, just 48 hours before our wedding. Our rehearsal dinner was held in the banquet room at Fortner’s Bowling Alley, formerly located at the east end of the Plaza Shopping Center.

Lynn:  The day we married the temperature was in the high 80’s, with high humidity as well.  The church wasn’t air conditioned, and I had a history of fainting when overheated.  Thanks to strategically-placed fans, I didn’t faint…

Steve:  She didn’t faint until we had just finished greeting guests in the reception line.  I struggled to carry her into the Church office because her organza and taffeta gown kept slipping in my arms.  We were lucky she didn’t just slip right out of the whole dress.

Steve:  Lynn recovered!  After the reception, she changed from her wedding dress and then we hopped into our red VW and headed to a nearby hotel for our wedding night.  We attended Church at St. Jacob the next morning, visited with family, then headed to Houston Woods Lodge for our honeymoon.  Woo-Hoo!!!
