Track lovebirds Roger and Diane getting hitched after Lyon worlds

Diane and Roger won't be married in these outfits.

American medal hopes Diane and Roger won’t be married in these outfits.

The wedding is set: Saturday, Sept. 12. As noted in March 2014, M70 Roger Pierce and W45 Diane Tedford Pomeroy became engaged amid a shared love of track. I wrote Roger for details, and he graciously replied: “We will be married at the Hotel Hawthorne in historic Salem, Mass., … in a simple but lovely ceremony, surrounded by people we love very much.” They originally planned on getting married at the track at Gordon College in Wenham, Mass., but officials delayed on logistics. An elopement was consdidered, but “after some conversations with family and friends, we decided that we wanted to share our love and this event with an intimate and small group of friends and family.” He says: “September is a beautiful time of year in New England, and we will have returned from the World Championships in France looking and feeling our best (we hope).”
