• What a beautiful day, for a wedding!  Overcast, not hot and in the Colorado mountains at a rustic cabin!  We went with our friends, Roger and Mary and spent the day.  It was  chilly at 10:30 in the morning and our coffee we were served was just what we wanted.  The wedding was small, intimate and so very sweet.  The young woman getting married, Carrie Bomberger is the daughter of friends we’ve had for years (too many to count!).  Carrie’s older sister, Klista, is a dear friend of our daughter Erin.  The service was officiated by Carrie’s uncle (her father’s older brother) and he did such a wonderful job, of giving good advice and keeping it very personal.  Midway through the service he read the words to the song, “Save The Last Dance For Me” and then unrehearsed and a big surprise to everyone, including Carrie and her Dad, gave the “floor” to them for their “father/daughter dance.  There wasn’t a dry eye in the place!   

  After the ceremony we had a lunch (made by the bride’s family) of pulled pork, rolls and fruit.  It was simple and delicious!  Friends of the family served drinks, and did the cleaning up (and the setting up!).  There was a game of Farkle at every table in case we got bored!  We filled out 3×5 cards of advice which went with the pictures that were taken by Klista of every guest.   These are going in a scrapbook the sisters are making for Carrie.  All in all, it was a lovely wedding.  And the secret ingredient?  Lots of love with friends and family.
