Andrew and Lina's Wedding

What a GREAT weekend!  Although I have no photos to prove it....  There were a LOT of cameras at the wedding, and I decided to rely on their greater photographic skill!

Friday night we alternated freezing on a chairlift in cold drizzle with scaring ourselves silly on Mount Washington's bike park. Marc fell in love with his first ride on a true park-bike, catching lots of nice air. I cleared my first table top, baby that it was, and caught more and more air (read: baby air) off jumps and drops. Joan, Trevor, Anita, Corinna, Glen, Ken and several other devoted River Rats were there as well and after some good pub food we headed back down to do some emergency packing. 

We headed over to Egmont for Andrew and Lina's wedding on Saturday morning and arrived in beautiful sunshine just as everyone was starting to stir. The early yoga group was already in the park when we arrived, and after some tent arranging and general hanging out we headed for the lake up the road. Since this was a dog friendly adventure both Matilda and Pippa came along, and Mattie managed to behave herself admirably. As for her little sister.....

The wedding ceremony was  held out on a rock looking at the Skookumchuck rapids. A wonderful and personable ceremony led by Andrew's stepfather, a stunning bride, lovely bridesmaids, even Andrew cleaned up well!

The reception was back at the campground, featuring great food and Lina's sisters as entertaining MC's  to organize contests for food (competing for grub at a wedding??)  and music, a ceilidh by Margaret and musicians, a DJ for later on....  possibly even some alcohol was consumed while the party continued late into the night.

Sunday morning dawned lovely and sunny and we had coffee and snacks, then started the journey back home. Andrew and Lina rode their touring bikes out our way to start their honeymoon adventure. Two ferries later we met up at our house in Comox for some food and well deserved sleep, and the next morning after some last minute logistics they headed off for the first of many adventures as Mr and Mrs.

Andrew and Lina are truly a wonderful couple, and having met even more of their friends and family I can say that they are very lucky to have such a great group of people in their lives! And we are fortunate to know you all!
