It's a Nice Day for a White Wedding


Yesterday afternoon Andy and I decided to go for a drive in the mountains. It was bright and sunny when we started our way up the canyon, but by the time we really driving on some roads above 8,000 feet, it started to snow. It was actually a little bit entertaining for awhile, but that's easy for me to say as I was the passenger. If you ask my husband, who was driving, he might have something a little different to say.


We rounded one corner and all of a sudden, we realized we could barely see St. Malo, a beautiful little rock chapel tucked up in the Colorado Mountains. I actually thought it looked a little eerie in the dark, snowy afternoon and felt it was a bit ironic with Halloween approaching soon.


Andy knows me pretty well by now, plus he has an eye for photography himself. Without even needing to ask me, he pulled over across the street from the chapel so I could get a picture or two. That's when he noticed the photographer on the side of the road and then the couple in front of the church.


Man, she must have been COLD!! Poor gal. I wonder if they were from out of state because planning a wedding in the mountains at high elevation in late October means there will be snow. Then again, maybe they were locals hoping to get a break or some neat pictures. I know I would sure be interested to see how the professional photographers shots came out. Congratulations to the happy, albeit cold and wet, couple!

These are gorgeous! Dh and I got married on New Year's Even in Massachusetts - we had a MAJOR snowstorm the night before/morning of. It was really pretty, though! LOL! She may have been freezing (I know I was) but I'm sure she doesn't care - she's just excited!!!!
