Beverley Young and Scott Barker were married on Saturday, July 27, 2002 at 3:00pm at St. Mark's Anglican Church (1802 33 Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta). The reception was at the Southern Alberta Pioneers Association Memorial Building (3625 4 Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta) at 5:00pm. The proofs from the professional photographer are now available, as are the honeymoon pictures and the engagement party pictures. The pictures from the reception are now available, as are the pictures from the dance. There are more candid pictures, and if we ever get the time, we'll post those as well.

We would also like to extend our thanks to the following people for making our wedding day run so smoothly:
