Matt & Robin's Wedding

We went to see Nelson's friend Matt get married to Robin in Hood River, Oregon two weeks ago. (Nelson has known Matt, he is shocked to reflect, a quarter of a century.)

Hood River is located in the Columbia River Gorge. It's a spectacular gorge. Nelson has driven up and down the gorge countless times, growing up in Oregon. It was the rest of the family's first trip.



Waterfalls line the gorge. If you get off the main interstate and take the old historic Highway, you can stop to see them.





Here's Grace learning how to play horseshoes at the rehearsal picnic. Grace made her presence known throughout the picnic. "Nelson, your daughter seems to be enjoying herself," I was told many times. She waited until the groom's father speech to shout my name at the top of her lungs because she wanted more watermelon. There is Tony in a touching moment, complimenting his son and daughter-in-law, competing with Grace's voice, shouting, "Daddy?... Daddy?... I want more watermelon."





Matt and Robin were married at Mt. Hood Bed & Breakfast, located, not surprisingly, in the shadow of Mt. Hood.
