Krista and I have been together for 4 1/2 years, and finally tied the knot. Since the rules are strict about posting pictures that do not relate to 3rd gens, I'll only post the pictures from the wedding day that include the car.
Here's a handful:

I think this would be a good sig pic for the happy triplet.
Congratulations! She's beautiful...and so is your wife.
Yea my buddy Cam (Cam-aro here on TGO) came up for the wedding and I gave him strict instructions to not let anyone put anything on the car that would damage the paint. They went easy on my compared to what has happened to some of my friends' cars on their wedding days.

Awesome pics. One question why is the top up? I won't take the old girl out of the garage if top has to be up, I think its a sin or something, maybe even a commandment of a vert owner! Just kidding Congratulations, none the less.
Try to make it look like you spend more on her (your wife) than your car, that will make her happy... If you pay too much attention to your car then you may find that she may grow to resent it...
My other suggestion is that you do everything to your car before you make any kids... then you will no longer be able to, no matter what she tells you.
I guess I should have expounded on my comment before.

Krista is actually really supportive of my LSX swap, and we don't PLAN to have any kids for a few years.

Congrats man! Hopefully ill have the 82 painted by september when we are having our wedding and ill be able to get some good shots of us with the car! if not the yukon will do i guess but the car does better burnouts for a nice exit
Heh, this is what happened at my wedding. This was after all the photos were taken and everything. Only the wedding party and close college friends are present. The old 305 didnt sound too bad back then!
1badz you give my 305 hope lol. what kind of exhaust you got?
At that time it was Edelbrock TES headers, no cat, and an edelbrock cat back. That was shortly after the 5speed conversion. The car went traction limited 13.70s@101mph at that point.

Very cool pictures! I like what they did with the "Bride" and "Groom" on the windshield :-) I wish I had my T/A repainted for my wedding... or running. I was 95% done with the LT1 swap but didn't quite make it in time.
