Hopefully this isn't invasion of privacy I can nuke on request...
Get me to the Church on time; Lynne, Jim, Nita, Peter, and I got Timid and Daphne's backs!
Whoa, Skip Sighting. What a beautiful bride to be!
Coulda sworn I warned Anders about those purple microdots....
Back to business











On to the reception
Unh-Oh, what are those girls up to, on a 100º day?
Anders, Ed and Scuffy ponder the right word to sum it all up

It was a magical day indeed :DD I was blessed to be there and included. It was awesome to meet Eric and Skip's families. Their reception was a special place on the river.....it was warm thus the impromtu swimming. The food was delicious and the company superb.

I wish everyone could have heard the "vows" they read to each other. Simple, honest and beautifully done. DR did a very nice job officiating.

Eric said he and his beautiful bride were going to re don their wedding attire and pick up trash for the Facelift with signs on their backs....just married :D. What a fun great idea.

Lovely ! The wedding was held at the Yosemite Chapel in the Valley. A Perfect Day with a spectacular evening and sunset on my drive home back to Tioga. Ciao, Lynnie

i figure a figure 8 is the figurative knot
to secure your union,
as it won't come easily untied upon dark breezes and
other wobbles of the universe which you'll hold
one anothers hand thru

and it stands for eternity when it's laid down and consumated;
eternity is so long that one moment cannot, it, outpace.

but 100 years is a long time to pull a wagon,
so i wish you two 99 years of solitude.

or if you wish, 99 years of love, fun, growth and community investment.

Just wanted to post a big THANK YOU to everyone for making our wedding such a wonderful and joyous event. Thank you to the guests, the family members, those that stayed at the River House with us and helped with the flowers and reception set-up, the wonderful wishes we got from friends at Facelift, and most especially Doug Robinson, who is such a great spirit: we were honored to have you join us in wedlock.

Also, a shout out to Glee (Greg), the coolest wedding-crasher EVER - he brought gifts, didn't drink all the booze, mingled and was pleasant to everyone. Thanks, it wouldn't have been the same without you.

The whole shebang went without a single hitch. We feel blessed and thankful for every part of it - and thank you all for the wonderful pictures, we would love to get some of the pictures from you. Please email us at m.skip.vasquez@gmail or wolfebox@gmail.com with your best shots!


Again, thank you all so much.

Edit: We won dinner at the Ahwahnee for two at Sunday's raffle - best raffle win ever. We'll be dining on September 21st, 2012 for our anniversary! See you all next year!

It was great fun to attend a wedding in the Valley, and see so many friends. Maybe a little warm at the river house for this frostback - not having sun cream, swimming wasn't an option for me. It was over 40 degrees there, but when we got back to the valley, there'd been a shower, and it was pleasantly cool.

Congratulations to the wonderful couple!

I was interested in the booking aspect too. When I looked at the chapel for a memorial service the online info stated that ceremonies there had to be Christian and the statements by the resident minister seemed pretty fundamentalist.

I was surprised that Doug was able to perform the service. A welcome trend I would say.

Jan,
I was ordained around a campfire in the 60s. Universal Life Church out of Modesto, pretty informal. One look at my card and the Chapel had no questions. The minister was super friendly, congratulated me after the service, which was customized to Skip and Eric and never mentioned any sort of deity or higher power. When we chatted after the service -- just between us reverends -- he mainly talked about how, thanks to his moving to the Valley, his daughter got her start in the hospitality industry through Delaware-North.

Pretty chill.

I don't have a lot of photos from the wedding, but there's no shortage. It was lots of fun. My contribution was the litter stick arch. IIRC, in military weddings they form an arch from swords. For mountaineers' weddings, it's made from ice axes. On the morning of Skip and Erik's wedding, I had the idea that we could make an arch from litter sticks, but didn't have enough time to get more than a few.

My new t-shirt has an edgy quality, no?

Maybe such things are better left mysterious...but I felt honored when the groom presented it to me with thanks. He designed and made it. One of a kind.

For years I avoided the threads. WOS controversy? Felt about as interesting as a political thread. I even skipped the wrangling over what is "mind" -- and I'm writing something related to it.

But then recently I began to get drawn in. I like slabs, and Ammon was falling his way up a beauty, and getting drunk with his honey in a portaledge. Friends I respected began taking WOS seriously.

Anyway, I like the ambiguous edginess of my new shirt. Thanks Eric and Skip! And I really enjoyed working with you guys on your celebration. A very cool couple!

I wear it with a cautious pride. So far so good. No one has decked me or defecated my shirt.

Well.... Since a total stranger is ranting and making stupid accusations... Thanks for the heads up. I never imagined E was such an insidious bastard. I'll certainly file for a divorce the very moment the sun rises over the courthouse on the 'morrow. Doug,... are you with me?


Hahahahahahahh ;) Thanks for a good laugh "guests".


But I digress...


Thanks to everyone who posted new photos. !!!

Erik thought I'd gotten the angle of the slab wrong on that WOS T-shirt, but now that my copy of R&I showed up I think it's spot on.

John & Jan: The chapel was easy to book. Just a phone call and filled out some paperwork then sent a check. It's actually non- denominational and they have a separate preist if you need a Catholic ceremony. We had planned on Sentinel beach originally and changed our minds at the last minute. Both the chapel and the YPS were extremely accommodating (had to change the wedding permit to the new location.)

PS: Yes: that picture is of Erik and his mother Dorothy who drove all the way from Washington. Side note: her and her partner of 20 years got (legally) married a few weeks later.
