Lynn and Johann Get Hitched

For our final wedding of the year, we went to the beautiful Chapel Dulcinea at a fun little place called the Wizard Academy (no, really, that's what it's called, and it's a business school). The wedding was a bit of a hardship for us (well, for Brian more than me) because it was at 10 a.m., and we had to be up, showered, and dressed in time to drive out of town for the wedding. We made it though, and we looked pretty alert.


Unfortunately, that photo does not do justice to the stunning view from the chapel. All of us were concerned about the weather because a cold front had blown in the week before, but it was actually quite pleasant. As you can see above, the sun was bright, and I was bundled up (very important).

Lynn and Johann had the most original vows of any wedding I can remember. Johann wrote Dr. Seuss-style vows, drew cute little fish illustrations, and had the whole thing bound into a hardcover book that they read from during the ceremony.


Woohoo! Married!


After the ceremony, everyone went to the legendary Salt Lick for the reception. Yum! (Actually, Brian and I took a detour in the opposite direction back to the only gas station for miles around because we were getting way too close to empty for being out in the middle of nowhere.)

Here we are with our friends Carrie and Taylor (who happens to be a fellow Holidailies participant), eagerly anticipating our delicious barbecue lunch to come.

While we enjoyed our delicious smoked meat and sides, the bride and groom circulated around the room to speak to each table.




I didn't get any photos of just the food, but it was very good, and we even got seconds. The waiter actually said, "Do you need a refill on meat?" How often do you hear that?

After the meaty lunch, I convinced Carrie, Lynn, and Heather to join me in a photo.

All in all, it was a wonderful wedding and we had a great time, even if we had to get up early for it.
