Michael
and Maritah Looney of Ogdensburg observed the old Bavarian tradition of
Baumstamm Sägen or log sawing following their wedding ceremony in the Rose
Garden at Singer Castle.
Facing their first task as a married couple, the
happy bride and groom worked together to cut a log in half while their wedding
guests watched and cheered them on. The sawing was symbolic of their
ability to accomplish difficult things when they worked together
