Steffen and Katie's Wedding

Congratulations to Katie and Steffen Bernard. Their wedding at Bridal Veil Lakes was wonderful. The weather cooperated with abundant sunshine and a perfect temperature. The bride's dress was elegant with what appeared to be multiple layers of lace. Very modern but harking back to another age of formality and innocence. Speaking of modern, one of the grooms attendants was a woman. Here. Here. The moving and smart ceremony, eloquently officiated by our own Tonya, included a nod to marriage equality. Joy is universal as should be the right to marry. Thank you Katie and Steffen. It was nice to see many family members. From California - Effie and Jim Blubaugh, Lara, Jon-Erik, Asher and Dinah Storm. From Washington - Monna Maddy, Sharon and Al Ausman. From North Dakota - Tonya and Bob Omdahl. From Alaska, the mother of the groom, Barb Bernard. From Oregon, the groom's brother and best man, Hans Bernard.
