Description
Yesterday was a very big day for Tara (auntietk) and me. We were married in a quiet, small ceremony consisting of three friends (one is a minister) plus our little Westie, Mandy.
We picked one of our favorite locations pictured several times in my gallery since the end of June by the name of Rhythm Waters on Whidbey Island, Washington.
We had rain in the morning, hence the wet, yellow mums above...a beautiful 3-4 hour sun break mid-day to accomodate our outside ceremony and then lots of rain on the roof last night to drum us to sleep.
So, to all of you...cheers, bottoms up, skol, etc. Thank you all so much for all your expressions of congratulations and good luck.
We both are looking forward to lots more artsy times with all of you here on Renderosity!
Should any of you find yourself in the Seattle area, we'd love the opportunity to meet and greet you.
Cheers,
Bill:)
