The Bridwell Wedding

What a perfect weekend for Katherine (Zach's sister) and Bryan to get married in Stanley, Idaho!

It started with a little mountain bike ride out Fisher Creek at the request of the bride and groom.  Zach, Nick (his dad), Katherine, Bryan, and I did a sixteen mile loop in the mountains surrounding Stanley the day before the wedding.  Kat and Bryan had received new mountain bikes as one of their wedding gifts and couldn't wait to test them out while getting rid of some pre-wedding jitters.

The weather was misbehaving with sudden thunder showers up until Friday night but the day of the wedding at noon there wasn't a cloud in the sky.   The ceremony took place in a little chapel overlooking the small mountain town of Stanley with a backdrop of the Sawtooth Mountains.  As if that wasn't beautiful enough Katherine looked stunning in a v-neck off-white lace dress that made all of her eight bridesmaids cry at her reveal.  Being one of these bridesmaids I felt lucky that cowboy boots were apart of our attire and I was ready to dance at the reception down the hill.

The reception took place a Danner's Log cabins that would be a perfect movie set for an old western town. Small log buildings facing in at an L shape with front porches.  Zach, Lucy, and I had a front row view of the reception from our cabin and an even shorter commute to bed after the celebrations had died down.

The newlyweds left with their two dogs and boat in tow to Montana for some R&R and a little fishin'.  Congratulations Katherine and Bryan!  Your love is contagious and brings people around you to bask in it.
