The ceremony was officiated by the Right Reverend Terry Pape’. Guests arrived via gondolas for the 5:00 p.m. wedding. A reception of dining and dancing followed at Couloir Restaurant at the top of the Bridger gondola.

To complete the ensemble, the bride wore a veil with hand-appliqued matching Alencon lace which flowed well beyond the length of the gown’s train. The bride carried a loose, cascading bouquet of white roses with a variety of green textured foliage. In her bouquet, she carried her great grandmother’s handkerchief embroidered in blue with her wedding date. She wore her grandmother’s heirloom pearl and diamond earrings which have been worn by all of her cousins in their weddings.
