Hi everyone! If you have photos from your wedding day with a Vanagon, please post it up!

I'll get the ball rolling... Here's a picture from my wedding last November. My wife, Tamara, happily agreed to pose with the red van. Having grown up traveling the country in a bay window westy, she's definitely supportive of my love for Vanagons. Her parents love the vans too of course. Did I marry into the right family or what? Smile

Congratulations Tamara & Kevin!

I had my 2wd van before I met my little wifelet, but she's the one who said "honey, we need a Syncro" right after we narrowly escaped being stuck in the backcountry one time. I was of course happy to oblige.

Congratulations! My wife and I had our first date to the drive-in in my first '85 GL. Four vanagons and sixteen years later, we're still hanging in there. Smile

SoonerDave got married in his van a few years back:

Great idea for a topic! Very Happy

I'll have to dig out our wedding photos. Almost 25 years ago Donna and I got married and my '71 bus camper was our 'limo'...

While we may believe Vanagons are actually alive, the notion of marrying two of them together is a stretch...

Sorry, Congrats to All!

One of the coolest stories is Richard Kimbrough's from The Bus documentary, but it was a Bay Window.

I used the family van ('85) for my Prom back in '92.
No pictures though. Like the feller said, 'was a time before the digital cameras.'

We did a save the date photo and included the Syncro and my 65 bug. A lot of photoshopping was done on this pic, like the background, the 14" alloys were enlarged, rust was removed, trim was installed, etc... hahaha

Sorry, couldn't resist Very Happy

Although we did travel to both our weddings in the Syncro (one in Seattle, the other here in B.C.), I never got any photos of the wedding parties. My partner gets irritated posing with the van. Wink
