Perfect gift

COMPILED BY NIMI KURIAN

As a perfect 27th anniversary gift Karen Cline and her husband received the wedding pictures they couldn’t afford when they married as teenagers. Their photographer showed up last week at the diner where Karen Cline works and surprised her with a photo album from her big day in 1980. “About a month ago, I was just cleaning out some of my old things and I found it,” said photographer Jim Wagner, who’s now 80. “I knew she didn’t have any m oney back then, and I just thought she might like to have it.” Cline recalled being a bride at 18 and admiring the pictures, but feeling heartsick because she and her husband, Mark, who was 19 at the time, didn’t have $150 to pay for them. When the photographer showed up in the diner, she wrote him a cheque for the long-awaited $150 — and that’s when he cried, she said.
