Wedding on the Water

Labor Day weekend found us in Placerville, CA visiting old friends and preparing for a wedding. Placerville is the first place we moved to after Steve completed his college education and getting his teaching degree. It is also the place of his first teaching job at Gold Trail School. All of our children were born while living in Placerville and we made some life long friends. Oh, we have been back to Placerville many times since 1968 and each time it is a wonderful trip down memory lane. This trip, however,was for the express purpose of performing the wedding of our dear friends Andy & Eileen at beautiful Lake Tahoe. It was not only at Lake Tahoe but ON Lake Tahoe for you see Andy had reserved a yacht to take us all out to Emerald Cove where we stopped the engines and Steve, the bride and groom and all the witnesses came to the bow and Steve performed ceremony and Andy & Eileen became husband and wife. The day was absolutely perfect - warm but not hot, sunny with clear sky's and the lake was crystal clear and calm so no one got seasick. We felt so honored to be asked to officiate and to be a part of the big day. After motoring back to shore, the reception was held at Andy's family cabin where we enjoyed a wonderful evening with great authentic Irish food. Have you ever had corn beef and cabbage pizza? Really, it is good!
