So far we can point you to Katie's account of the wedding and honeymoon, our professional photographer's shots (please check with Katie if you're considering ordering any extra prints), Jamie and Pat's nice pictures of the wedding, and a few of Katie's family's photos of the wedding.
Saturday, 8 March 2003, 6:30pm to 10:30pm.
The ceremony started at 7:00pm and took about twenty minutes. From then on was the reception.
One Schenley Park
Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3830
The ceremony took place in the Palm Court and the reception took place throughout the Conservatory except for the South Conservatory, Gallery, and Fruit and Spice Room. Here's a map.
Since a fair number of the guests were from Johnstown, the bride's parents hired a charter bus to transport guests to the wedding and back from Johnstown.
A cocktail buffet was served. Our caterer was Rania's Catering.
Steven Vance Strolling Violins provided the ceremony and reception music. A harpist accompanied the ceremony, and a Cafe Trio (a European-style strolling violin, accordion, and bass) accompanied the reception.
Austin Cline officiated at our secular ceremony. There's a copy of the draft of the ceremony, from which the actual ceremony varied only slightly, online. We exchanged titanium wedding bands.
Purvisphoto was our photographer.
