Well, we finally did it. The wedding finally took place on the 23rd. All went well. I imagine it went well. It felt practically perfect to me. It was so wonderful to have our family and friends around us and we committed our lives to each other. The ceremony took place at our mountain house in the yard. My son, J. walked me down the “aisle” actually across the grass. My daughter M. was my maid of honor. Friends from across the country came to celebrate with us and even my brother from Idaho came. It was a beautiful day.
We debated renting a tent because P. hates spending money on things that don’t last. I explained to him that it was like insurance and it turned out that it did rain lightly and the tent was well worth the money. Oh, it was a good day.
The funniest thing happened as things were winding down. Many of the guests were leaving and we were starting to get food in the house, don’t want to attract bears. Anyway, a door was left open and our little dog, Duncan decided it was time for a romp. He took off running through the woods and we had wedding guests chasing him and he thought it was all a fantastic game. Eventually we lured him back with a piece of beef tenderloin and it was all good.
The next hurdle was also cleared. We closed on the house with the 6 car garage. One small glitch, the money wasn’t wired on time and I thought poor P. was going to have a stroke but that too ended up fine. We don’t actually take possession until October 1, but P. has started moving some of his shop equipment down into the back garage. We will start moving things down a little at a time so hopefully it won’t be too back breaking or stressful.
Now with a bit more time on my hands maybe I can get some photos posted.
