Default ** Update with new pics ** Thanks ronsgs!!!!

Some of you may have seen my other thread I posted. In that thread I explained that my wedding was coming up October 8th and that while me and my former fiance (now wife) were looking for a bright red C6 coupe we would not be able to purchase one until after our wedding. We asked forum members who lived in the Chicago land area if any would be willing to lend us their car for some wedding pictures. I thought maybe someone would offer a basic red C6 but to my amazement the first response I got was from member RONSGS. Ron explained he would be out of town but to shoot him a message as he thought he could help. To my utter shock was was originally hoped to be a base Corvette became a 2010 Torch Red Grand Sport Convertible with chrome wheels and a black top. Ron was equally amazing and drove it to the Morton Arboretum in Lisle where the wedding took place at 4:30pm on a friday and allowed us to take all the pics we wanted. While the professional pictures aren't edited yet here are a couple from my father-in-law's cell phone. Ron I can't thank you enough and once the pictures are edited I will post more.

Enjoy!

Really cool. Most vette owners are of this caliber, I've noticed.
