Tony and Paulette got married a few months back, but I never got around to posting pictures. What better opportunity than the 720 Posts Love project.
Tony and Paulette got married in Meriden which was extremely convenient for me. (There were bagpipes)
Paulette looked gorgeous and Tony was all sorts of classy. The exciting hope at this wedding was to setup a rockclimb between the ceremony and the reception. You see, Tony and Paulette both climb. And Paulette is uniquely awesome enough to allow Tony to consider completing a climb in his Tux.
So, immediately after the wedding Dave (shown below) and I zipped over to Cathole to set up a route.
Pegasus was open and the weather was perfect. We parked and immediately set into action. I had brought 200 feet of Christmas lights. The first thing we did after putting the ropes up was lace the hiking approach to the climb with christmas lights.
I purchased a transformer that connected to my car battery to provide power to that and the boombox which was set up to play Eye of the Tiger upon the limo’s arrival.
I also brought a spare tux jacket in case Tony didn’t want to climb in his. The outcome was pure beauty:
Unfortunately, the pictures took a bit too long… so Tony and Paulette were unable to come. Bummer! Dave and I were completely drenched in sweat by the completion of this endeavor but it was still super fun. Congrats Tony and Paulette!
Dude, after seeing these pictures, I’m very dissappointed that we took all those family pictures. If we had cut that out, there definitly would have been time for climbing, and it would have been amazing! DOH!
I still say we do a recreate and actually have Paulette climb in her dress this summer!
