The Wedding

Chris and Gretchen's wedding was in the most beautiful setting - on top of a hill (they call them mountains in the mid-West) overlooking lake Michigan. It was supposed to storm, and it was cloudy right up to the time the guests were being shuttled by golf cart or chair lift to the wedding site, but then the sun came through and lasted all through the ceremony and well into cocktail hour. Andy was thrilled to hang out with Theo, Gretchen's nephew, who recently moved to Seattle. They spent the lead up to the wedding watching guest after guest disembark the chair lift.
Hey, does anyone else wonder how it's possible that this woman is a grandmother? She looks all of about 25. Todd with Sylvia.

Melissa, Jim, Brandon and Melissa. Chris, ready to tie the knot!

Gretchen and her dad arrived by chair lift.

See, what did I tell you - gorgeous!Any time we're all dressed up we try to get a family photo snuck in.Gretchen and Chris at dinner. There's a little gap in the photos. This next movie is significantly later in the evening ... er, drinking. I think you would have concluded that on your own... This is Jim and Tod doing the lawnmower and the sprinkler, respectively.

There are lots of other videos, but I think this one sums it up just right. You can't really see anything, but you don't really need to.

Congratulations Chris and Gretchen!!!
