From the beginning their ceremony was to take place at Wiseman's View. But... after many days of rain the four mile gravel road was not an option. Because of the ruts and incline a four-wheel drive is required during normal conditions. Brent and Ida called me once they arrived in North Carolina, concerned about the conditions and were ready to have their ceremony at their rental cabin. I suggested Chestoa View, which is very similar but located directly along the Blue Ridge Parkway. They drove to the location and was extremely pleased with their 'second' choice.
The overlook is absolutely breathtaking and photos do no justice to the beautiful landscape.
Brent was hard at work setting up the cameras.
And Ida was trying to wait patiently. Some family members were delayed, having relied on their GPS, never advisable for the mountain area.
Ida's mother helped with her veil.
And Brent got a little last minute adjustment.
While waiting for their guests, many photos were taken.
Ida, still waiting patiently.
Married, and all smiles.
Everyone happy and ready to celebrate.
Brent and Ida sent me this picture. Glad he's holding on tight!
