This picture is of my 1931 Deluxe Coupe at our wedding on June 26, 1993. I met my wife, Sistine Federico, in Tucson, Arizona where I moved after graduating from college. Our wedding was in her hometown of Durango, Colorado. My dad, Raymond, had the idea to surprise us by having the Coupe at our wedding and his sister and brother-in-law, Della & Richard Towndrow, hauled the car over numerous mountain passes between Raton, New Mexico (my hometown) and Durango. It was truly a surprise to us after the wedding rehearsal to walk out of the church and see the car that dad and I restored over a five year period! Sistine & I rode in the rumble seat as dad drove us to the rehearsal dinner. At the wedding the next day, the Coupe was again waiting for us after the ceremony. It was a great prop for many photos including this one with our family priest, Rev. Dr. Augustine John Moore; my grandmother and dad, Louise & Raymond; and my wife's parents, Jim and Nancy Federico. After Sistine and I settled in our home in Tucson, we went to Raton and hauled the Coupe back with us. It now dons an original 1931 Arizona license plate. It sits in our garage next to our 2006 Toyota Prius – two cars that have made automotive history! In Front of the Church • The couple and the Bride's Parents • Granny and Dad

Our daughter, Jill Linden married Greg Sullivan on May 21, 2005. Thanks to our friends, Dick O'Brien and Wayne Champagne, not one, but two Woodie Wagons provided the transportation to the church and reception. The Woodies and the wedding party made for a beautiful site while photos were taken at the picturesque Grist Mill at the Historic Wayside Inn in Sudbury, MA. The first picture shows Jill and Greg enjoying a quick break before leaving the church and the second shows the kids, Ring bearer Taylor Sullivan, who thought the ride in the "bumpity" car was great fun, and Flower Girls Jordan Linden and Haighley Sullivan.

Attached is a photo of my 1931 Town Sedan showing my wife Samantha, me and my grandfather, longtime MAFCA member G Ballard Simmons Jr. on our wedding day. We originally planned to be taken away in his 1931 Roadster but later decided it would be too tough for my new bride to climb into the rumble seat. The Town Sedan turned out to be a better choice anyway, as the temperature that night in early April of 2005 was still on the chilly side. This Model A also has a special place in our family as it has been in the family since 1963. I wasn't the first to learn to drive in this car however when my grandfather taught me how to drive at the age of 14 years old I was the last to drive it as that was the last day our beloved family car ran (I overheated it and cracked the block) until 15 years later when it was partially restored in time for the wedding. My grandfather passed away this past December but passed his Model A on to me at a very emotional Thanksgiving 2006. We will always cherish the memories our family has shared in this and other Model As and will continue to share the tradition with the generations to come.

Attached is a picture of my daughtger Rachel, and her new husband Jason Kemper. They were married on July 15th 2006. They wanted to ride in a Model A from the church to the reception. My 1929 Special Coupe has no rumble seat so I chose to drive them in my dad Delbert Riddle's A400 Convertible Sedan. Dad is also a MAFCA member. The newlyweds got lots of whistles, hoops and horn honks on that ride. Those Model A's are always a big hit.

Attached is a picture of my niece Jayme, and her new husband Joel Grezbik. Jayme and Joel were married on April 8, 2006 at Callaway Gardens, Georgia. The Model A, which has been in the family since the mid forties, is a 1931 Standard Coupe. All three of my brother Jim's children have used the Coupe in their weddings. My nephews have made it a tradition to crank start the Coupe for the drive to the reception. They haven't failed yet In the early forties, before my family had a car, my parents would borrow the Coupe from the original owner, a neighbor in Newark, Ohio. My father bought the Coupe upon the neighbor's death and transferred it to my Grandfather. Grandpa drove it for almost 20 years in Hillsboro, Ohio. When Grandpa died, ownership transferred to me. The coupe has passed back and forth over the years but will always remain a family treasure.
