This was the day we came here for... Lucas and Alix's wedding day. I had to be at their place at 8 am because Alix had booked hair and makeup appointments for herself, Kristen and me.
We all got ready there and sandwiches were delivered for lunch.
The men arrived around 1:00. Pictures were taken and then we drove to the small Seward airport. The pilot to!d us we'd be able to helicopter up to Bear Glacier for the ceremony (Plan A). But it was not to be. As soon as the first helicopter took off the fog rolled in over the glacier. So they landed on Mt. Marathon instead (Plan B)... Bill and I were in the second helicopter, and once we landed the cloud cover engulfed us. The helicopter with the bride and groom couldn't come up to us and we couldn't come down off the mountain top.
When the clouds blew away we flew back to the airport and went to plan C. We all flew to a little island in Resurrection Bay and they said their vows on the island among the soaring eagles. It was a lovely ceremony, brought tears to my eyes. (We were not allowed to have cell phones during the ceremony. I will post photos when they are released by the official photographer).

Kristen and Dom and Bill and I all helicoptered back to the airport while Lucas and Alix and the photographers went off in the helicopter to places unknown for more pictures.
We all met back at Ray's for dinner. What a memorable day!
