Mike and I hosted a "meet the couple" reception for daughter Hallie and husband Nick at Hells Gate State Park near Lewiston on Saturday, Sept. 26. Blog followers will know that Hallie and Nick married on August 29 in Seattle. The focus of this reception was to allow friends and family, some of whom were unable to travel to the wedding, to celebrate with us. Our nephew Shann with the able assistance of family and friends cooked "kabobs" for us in his "pig roaster." And, of course, wedding cake for dessert.
Even though it's late September, the day was beautiful at this spot on the Snake River. We enjoyed sharing a meal and lots of visiting.
Hallie and Nick chat with Loris while Kathy stands behind the cake.
Adoring look
. . .This is a couple experienced in cake cutting. I heard them discussing and giving each other cues. "Ready? -- Now!"
Gifts --
Hallie admires holiday embroidery by "Aunt" Chris.
Aunts Joni and Harriet are close to the action.
Well, that's it. Now we move from organized celebrations to the celebration of life events, adding a new couple to our family. KW
