As last week's wedding at Eagle River was taking place on Lake Superior's shore, another wedding was underway not too far from the Gulf of Mexico. The groom happened to be a guy who first appeared on the Pasty Cam way back in the early days of this daily feature:

Saturday, June 27, 1998
1998
Toivo hopin' for his tax return

Starring as Toivo at that time was James Hackman, longtime summer resident of Eagle River, and a good buddy of the original Pasty Cammist, my son Jonathan. James and Jon went on to star in another role for each other, as Best Man at their respective weddings. The top photo is the ceremony in Texas last week. James met Patricia in 2010 and was smitten with her from the beginning. They exchanged their vows surrounded by friends, all dressed in traditional apparel for the region. To see what life is like in that part of the world - and what this former Yooper is up to these days - check out Varanasi Alive. That's also James in the 2002 photos, a windy wedding day for Jonathan and Katriina as I recall.

Between James (on the right below) and Jonathan in this photo is another Yooper, and no stranger to the Pasty Cam) Steve Jones:
the guys
Besides being one of Jonathan's groomsmen in the 2002 wedding, Steve has been seen on the Pasty Cam in a number of other venues, notably in his role as a popular Keweenaw musician.

Our thanks to Josh and Devon Fults for the Texas wedding photos. That's the update we promised last week, with some faces found back in the archives of the Pasty Cam. Someone recently asked me how long we've been "doing this blog" ? As a matter of fact, we've been doing it since long before the word "blog" was invented. (blogspot.com was created in July of 2000, and pasty.com was created in May of 1996) ...Hopefully we'll be able to keep on bringing a "glimpse of life in the U.P." for a while longer.

Have a good week :o)

That was a windy day! Power was out all over the Keweenaw. As I recall it made for a very unique but amazing wedding! I actually wrote about it.

I'll never forget it! And no. I did not meet my future bride there. Still patiently waiting on that one. :-)
