This is actually after the ceremony, but I figured I might as well start with one of my favorite pictures.

Here we are, scoping out the wedding site. We set up chairs on the dirt, and Nancy and I sat on chairs on the rock cliff edge.

Signging the marriage licence.
Sarah played Trumpet Voluntary and an exceprt of a Beethoven Sonata. That's my car battery being used to power the keyboard and amp. Fortunately, there was enough charge left to start the car when the ceremony was over. :-)
Our friends who came to support us. Botum, Nadia, Nancy, Me, Alison, Ri, Lisa, Nick, Josh, Lois, Kathy, and Ryan.
Sarah and Kris.
Nancy and her parents.
My mom and I.
My dad and I.

Another pose.
This is probably my favorite shot. I'm carrying the table from the licence signing, and we're leaving after the last load of chairs have been put in the car.
This is the view from the wedding site up Wedding Canyon to Monument Canyon.

After the ceremony, we adjourned to my mom's house where we had a pool party. I got out of my dress clothes and into my swimsuit as fast as possible, but Nancy enjoyed parading around in her dress for quite a bit longer. :-)
This is the cake baked by Sarah's good friend Andrea. It's three layers of cheesecake: Hazelnut, fudge swirl, and plain. It was amazingly good.
After things calmed down and the local guests went home, we played some games with our college friends (who were staying with us).
"Why did I go through with it?!" Acutally, neither of us remember Nancy making this face, and we don't know why she was. We also don't know why I look so smug.
"Look over there!"
