WEDDING DAY!
Family, friends and the wedding party arrived at the Recreation Lodge early to help clean and decorate the place for the reception and prepare the patio for the wedding. We all worked until early afternoon when we have to rush back to get cleaned up and return for the wedding. It was a wonderful way to meet and get to know people while we all worked together to make this day special for Gwynne and Peter.
Family and friends from both sides showed up to help clean windows, iron tablecloths, assemble table center pieces, clean chairs and do whatever was needed to make the day special. Sorry we don't have more pictures but there were a lot more people helping!
The wedding was held on the patio of the Cumberland Mountain State Park Restaurant overlooking the lake with the fall colors in the background and the temperature perfect for an outside wedding, in the high 60’s. Both Gwynne and Peter seemed comfortable and ready for their life together.

The newlyweds.
The reception was held at the Recreation Lodge in the park, via a short walk through the woods or a short drive. The wedding party, after the formal wedding pictures were taken, walked through the woods to the reception. It was a very relaxed and fun evening for everyone.
The reception...We have never seen Peter so happy. Ansel and Mave entertain us all with their speeches and Gwynne and her bridesmaids "Rick-rolled" the first dance which surprised everyone, especially Peter!
