Tod, Tod, Tod... Trevilian

A couple months after we married, Tod Trevilian stopped by... unfortunately, Todd and I were "busy." Tod knocked on the door we (not knowing who it was) decided to ignore them. Tod was persistent, though. He saw both our cars there and so kept right on knocking.

After several tries, he drove away. Then the phone rang. It was Tod who left a message (the answering machine was in our bedroom). Shortly after that, he was back knocking.

By that time, the moment had passed. Todd dressed and let Tod in. Tod asked why we hadn't answered earlier or answered the phone. Todd said, "what to newly-wed couples do?"

I have not seen Tod's face as red as it was that afternoon!! : )

Our Wedding!!

October 21, 2000 1:30 PM

Kaori Norris, Susan, Todd, Dan Whittaker

We got married on a shoestring. We kept the costs to around $8,000 including my ring and our honeymoon! My dress was a loan from Susan Weil, my veil loaned by Kaori Norris, the cake was made and donated by Marcia Csipke (Todd's Aunt), the music and announcements at the reception were done by a couple of college group guys, the food was made and brought in by the Canton/Akron clans. We were still eating the cookies at Christmas.

Funny story - the bottom layer of the cake came apart en-route from Canton. Marcia, Todd, and Scott Covey used dental floss and toothpicks to engineer it back together before Marcia iced it. I never knew the difference. It sentenced Marcia to cake cutting unfortunately since she alone knew where the floss was! : )


I've included pictures of many of the people at the wedding.
