The wedding day has at long last arrived. Bride and groom were up at dawn to take pictures against sunrise.
Weather is forecast is favorable but has varied greatly over the past few days.
All is in readiness: tents, tables, caterer guests. The Forest Service road is classic Colorado; 4-wheel drive recommended. For certain a very bumpy ride b
ut fairly tame as off roading goes.
The venue is a remote mountain ski lodge at 11,000 ft with a pond and right at the base of soaring, jagged 13,000 ft peaks. The lodge is a quixotic aggregation of different owners over the years. Doors are about 5 inches thick, requiring a hefty pull to open. The kitchen is very modern with double ovens, huge fridge, dishwasher etc.
Each room has its own unique character, some having stained glass or round or Cathedral windows. Ultra modern bathroom with fancy shower head and smooth slate 24x10 inch tiles.
Ruh roh...lost power. No water, no flush, no internet. Weather has been letter perfect all morning. Hoping it stays that way.
Power was restored about 2 hours before game time. Although the weather had been glorious all morning predictably, afternoon thunder clouds gathered and a light rain set it. Amazingly, just a few minutes before Lindsay, accompanied by her dad, started down the aisle the sun came out and the day was saved! In fact, no more rain for the rest of the day.
The reception was elegant with four course menu that included Elk.
congrats on your son's wedding
