It's Sunday - wedding day for Paul and Kara. Yesterday there was light snow, today we have light rain. Oh well - it's supposed to be good luck to have rain on your wedding day.
The Moms and Kara gather in Kathy and Delmer's room a little before 11 AM for hair and make-up sessions. At 1 PM Georgiana and I excuse ourselves to go get dressed. At 2 PM some of us are picked up by the wedding planner. We go pick up Paul at the condo then drive to the wedding venue at Alta Lake. It is a small pretty pavilion on the side of the lake. We all make our way over the snow down to the pavilion and are shortly joined by Paul and Kara's friends.

We chit-chat with the officiant and the photographer awaiting the car bringing Kara and the remaining parents. Shortly Delmer, Kathy and Marv are making their way down the path to the pavilion. We gather about in the small pavilion, the music starts and Kara appears with the wedding planner closely behind her with an umbrella. Everyone is smiling from ear-to-ear, especially Paul.
The officiant welcomes everyone and speaks of the commitment of marriage. Paul and Kara exchange their vows in this beautiful setting with parents and a few friends gathered around. They are both clearly very happy, and all of us are happy for them. After a champagne toast and some photos the parents and friends go to Nita Lake Lodge for drinks and appetizers while the bridal couple poses for more photos.
This evening the wedding dinner is held at Red Door Bistro. The French food is wonderful - from the foie gras and other appetizers to the different entrees selected by each person (I have duck breast and William choses bouillabaisse). During the meal the diners at other tables in the small restaurant also enjoy the celebration - one older couple even sends over some champagne and toasts with the bride and groom. A delicious wedding cheesecake finishes out the meal and a beautiful day.
We wish a long, joyous marriage for Paul and Kara. They are such special people and a special couple.
