Weddings of '92

John Black & Isabella Toscano

Date: May 19
Location: St. Luke's Catholic Church, Salem
Wedding Party: Carly was maid of honor, Bo was best man, Shawn walked Isabella down the aisle
Wedding Attire: a very large dress for a very pregnant bride
Pre-Wedding Events: Isabella was having labor pains most of the day
The Ceremony: Isabella wound up giving birth to the couple's son, Brady Victor Black, before they could finish their vows! Afterward, she felt well enough to be wheeled back to the altar to complete her vows, with the baby quietly sleeping in her arms. By the time John was told to kiss the bride, both mother and child were in a deep sleep.
Reception: they went to the hospital with the baby
Status: The Blacks hardly had adjusted to those family-style dinners when Isabella was diagnosed with an advanced case of pancreatic cancer. The two returned to her native Italy, where she passed away in John's arms in October of 1992.
