Amberly's Wedding

Snowy Boston

This was just the beginning. In the end
 there was over a foot of snow!

The bridal party took the subway to the wedding
then walked about 4 snow filled blocks

January started with two exciting events - a major blizzard and a WEDDING! It was planned for January 4th and we flew up on January 2nd, arriving in Boston just a few hours before they closed the airport. Boston turned into a winter wonderland. Most businesses closed and the streets were empty - except for the snow of course. Over the next two days guests made their way into the city - sometimes with amazing detours and great stories. In the end, all but a handful of people made it to the wedding. The wedding itself was wonderful! held in an art studio/gallery with many friends and family. Highlights for me included all the preparations, the father daughter dance (we did a disco dance!), hanging out with friends that we don't get a chance to see very often and of course seeing Amberly and Charlie get married. We left town just ahead of another snowstorm but had no problems and the next day flew back to Bogota. What a wonderful and happy wedding it was. Enjoy a few pictures.

They all made it!

Getting ready!

The tables were organized by cities that were important
to Amby and Charlie. Sendai of course was where we lived
in Japan (and the site of the horrible tsunami in 2011)
