Mumsy and Pops

So over Christmas I got an envelope from my mom full of the pics of her and my dad's wedding, back in the early '80s. They got married at the judge's house, a mutual friend, in a small town in Wisconsin near the upper peninsula of Michigan where my dad had a cottage and my mom lived. I had never seen the pictures, and got a big kick out of them. Here's a few of the happy couple and guests:
