Welcome To Our Wedding Page!
Lara Ann Gunter and Michael Charles Cole

Mr. and Mrs. Cole

The theme of our wedding:  "It's our wedding, so we'll do whatever we want."
 
This included:
 
-The bride wore sneakers under her wedding dress.
-The bridesmaids wore black dresses.
-The groomsmen wore regular ties and vests instead of bow-ties and cumberbunds.
-A victory lap around the church sanctuary as soon as the recessional was over.
-The bride and groom stopped at a chip truck while en route from the photo shoot at Lakeview Park to Harmony Creek Golf Centre for the reception.
-No garter toss (We'll just Fed-Ex it to Dave Draper, the only eligible bachelor in attendance.).
-One of the ushers wore Looney Tunes Tasmanian Devil socks with his tuxedo.  (Guess which one?  Find out on the Wedding Party page.)
 

May 23, 2004:  And that's a wrap on My Big Fat English-Ukranian-Irish-Scottish-German-Japanese Wedding!  It was a fabulous wedding, and a splendid time was had by all who attended.  We would like to extend our warmest and most sincere thanks to all who, by attending, made our big day a big success.
 
The love and goodwill that washed over us on that magical Saturday was overwhelming, and we could never thank everybody enough.
 
With Love and Best Wishes,
 
Mr. and Mrs. Michael and Lara Cole.

What's New?

At the one-year anniversary of Lara's passing, I was finally able to write something in her honour.  To read my Facebook posting go to The Last Page.

We did everything we could, but Phoebe had just too many health challenges.  We miss her terribly....

As our second anniversary approaches, we find ourselves with a new addition to our family.
 
No, no, not that.  We have been adopted by a stray cat.  And, after several weeks of searching for his owner(s), we have given up and found a loving home for him.  For more information, check out the "Meet Smokey Bob" page in our site.
 
We have turned the "Directions" page into a thank you page for the various organizations, people, and businesses that went into making our big day a success.  Click on "Roll The Credits!".  We heartily reccomend any and all of these organizations if you're planning a wedding.
 
Also, our general photo album has been "out-sourced" to free up more space.  A link on the "Our Photo Album" page will get you there.
