This past Saturday we found ourselves in the White Mountains (specifically Snowflake and Taylor) for Angie and Mark's wedding. We have known Mark and his family for some time now and it was so wonderful to be a part of this celebration.
The two families really came together to create the perfect day for their children. The ceremony was held at Angie's parent's home and the reception was held at Mark's parent's home. We loved all aspects of this wedding including all the animals that made themselves a part of the action in one way or another. Another unique aspect of this wedding included Mark and Angie's departure from the ceremony site on the back of a fire engine, courtesy of the Snowflake Fire Department. Mark is a fire fighter and the SFD was where he got his start ... he has since moved on to working wildfires ... and we just thought it was such a wonderful experience for them to include in their wedding day.
One final aspect we wanted to mention occurred during the toasts. Only weeks before the wedding, Angie's father had a heart attack. Happily he came through it and was able to attend the wedding. During his toast speech, he said that while he was in the hospital a nurse asked him when his daughter's wedding would be and all he could think of was that he had to make it through this so he could walk his little girl down the aisle. There was not a dry eye in the house ... it was a very tender moment.
Thanks guys ... we had a fantastic time and we hope you enjoy the sneak peak!
