Your dad gave me the heads up to this post. I see you've inherited your mom's gift for writing (and Bunny's for that matter!) This picture was taken on Bunny's wedding day. As for the cross, Bunny was a Unitarian but she also was a Quaker. And as Uncle Mike puts it "...Unitarians were more liberal back then..." Hah! Bunny's dress and the simple veil she wore were the essence of beauty. Just like Bun. I have a couple more pictures from that day, I'll e-mail them to you. Love, Aunt Kelly Hi Meese!

I have a photo of my late mother on my wall from when she was about 26 --before she got married and had six kids. It's neat to think about who she was then, what her dreams were, nearly 20 years before I would meet her. I loved this post.

And as you said you wonder what her hopes and dreams were on that day. I guess a picture does not tell a 1000 words. Bonnie Marisa: She has great cheack bones.

We found a bunch of them from my father's family a while back, as well as some journals from about 150 years ago. I'm always fascinated to look at things like this and wonder what the people were like in real life. As a side note, I've always been under the impression that Unitarianism is born from the Christian tradition with the most significant ideological separation being the denial of the Trinity, favoring a single, unified God instead. I often compare the Unitarian evolution with the Society of Friends, which also launched from a Christian foundation, even though many modern Friends don't adhere to that anymore. Of course, most traditions have evolved since then, but you must have noticed the Christian symbolic influences on the building in which you congregate, haven't you? In my one time inside your church's sanctuary, I noticed a ton of Christian-centric symbolism, but I may be a bit more sensitive to those influences, as I was reared in a Christian tradition.
