The waterfall setting looks almost too good. Like a fake backdrop they would use at Sears, but it is real. It is just a short hike off a Forest Service road north of Winthrop. The bridge was a longer hike, about a half mile, which Sherry did in her dress and little red shoes.

The picture above is one of my favorites. There are also lots of good candid photos of our guests enjoying themselves. The cake photos also look really good. Mmmmm… cake.

The photos are online at here. Prints can be ordered on Shutterfly.

Here is a picture of our kayak’s waiting for us on Sucia Island on Wednesday. This is just one of our many adventures, which also included biking around Lopez Island, some hiking, and lots of fine dining.

We took some more photos of the Ranch House and barn since we don’t have any pictures of it without it covered in snow. Sherry’s digital camera decided to die last weekend so we had to resurrect her old manual SLR camera with a trip to the hardware store in Winthrop for some batteries. Luckily the photo’s turned out nice.

Friday night we stayed at the North Cascades Base Camp. We had the place all to ourselves. We met the new owner and his family. He gave us the grand tour of the camp. Its mainly a ski lodge in the winter and is slow in the summer. So there lots of room to schedule our wedding in there.

Saturday we stayed down the road at the Mazama Ranch House. We were one of the few guests who did not bring their horses. There was some sort of natural horse training going on in the corral when we got there. When we left the next morning for our bike ride all the horse owners were gathering on the lawn with their yoga balls.

Google has declined to disclose any details of the wedding, but according to various news reports, the location was such a closely guarded secret that wedding guests boarded the jet owned by Mr. Brin and Mr. Page unaware of their exact destination until they arrived on a private island in the Bahamas.

Guests who attended said the bride wore a white swimsuit, the groom a black one. Some guests took a boat while others — including the bride and groom — swam to a nearby sandbar, where the couple exchanged vows.
