The wedding, the reason for this trip, was today. It was fabulous. Such a great party. And a lovely ceremony too. It included the planting of a seedling tree in this big clay pot. The are going to take it wherever they go and watch it grow, just like their relationship. When they get settled they will plant it and sit beneath its shade together. Isn't that romantic. They had a friend read a beautiful Lakota wedding blessing too, which was about how they should support each other. The whole thing just made you believe they would truly be together forever. At the question, "Will you always love and cherish the other, and will you always be faithful?" they both said yes so emphatically the crowd laughed. They are the perfect couple.
Saw lots of my high school friend's there, as that was where I knew Timo best. Abe was there, my prom date senior year, and Josh, who was in tons of plays with me. Such good people. Great to catch up with everyone. We danced till 10 at night, all these great old songs the bridal couple chose personally. Good food, open bar, great music. What a party.

Hi Joni,
I'm enjoying your blog! Sounded like a wonderful wedding. We will be heading to Bryce Canyon today from Tonopah. It snowed in both places so I hope we can still hike a bit at Bryce. The east coast was hit hard with a storm. I hope that Tuesday will be clear for you on your travel day home.
Love,
Mom
