Thanks for posting all the links. I see a few of my sons running the FreeMo-N layout. Cool! Thanks to George for putting all the effort into taking and posting these photos.

A model train themed wedding at a train convention? Wow... just... NOPE.

I'm all for having unconventional weddings... Joy and I wed in the living room of my chief's secretary (we were her first wedding as a Justice of the Peace). Our "official" wedding was pure Thai craziness with 430 guests that I did not know, three different ceremonies, two different wedding dresses and suits and 12+ hours on our feet. But I would never bring trains into it.

While I did do the organizing and posting, I didn't take the photos.  These came from Steve Miller, Terie Campoy, Keith Schmidt, Dewey Jones, Barb Homewood, Bob and Dena Anthony and Marc Starmans.  Thanks to all of them for sharing.

PS-  Daniel!  Trains belong at weddings dude!.  I mean whats wedding dress without a good train behind it.... (sorry, dad joke).  These guys share trains comprehensively, and their friends were present.  It meant a lot to them, and it was sweet for all of us in attendance. I'm just wondering where they got those giant couplers for the linking ceremony!  Although if I'd know about yours, I would have been there just to see the pageantry! Sounds like it was fun.

This sounds like what I am due for in Morocco when Maria and I can make the trip.

Wow! They really did have a Manufacturer's Breakfast. Strange nobody talked about it.

News from the manufacturer's breakfast is more elusive than bigfoot. I'm thinking everyone signed a confidentiality agreement and they're afraid that the black car parked outside their house is full of mob goons with baseball bats.

Paul did contribute to the photos heavily, in fact, without him, we wouldn't have much of a railfan section, as all the other photogs kept them to themselves!  :)  Sorry, Paul, didn't mean to leave you out.

IF you have pictures, feel free to contact and share.  They can always be added to the galleries.

Your doing a Moroccan wedding? You HAVE to post this in Crew Lounge when you get back. I really like witnessing different cultures at their best.
