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. _________________ Shop for unique Vanagon accessories at the Vanistan shop:

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.
SoonerDave got married in his van a few years back:

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

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.' _________________ 1990 Feldjäger Syncro AAZ

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

Ooo...how about a threesome?
Sorry, couldn't resist
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. _________________ Currently:
