Marriott Pinnacle Wedding: Susan and Allan

1. Some people like to get married with trees or ocean as a backdrop, but if Vancouver’s skyscrapers are what you’re looking for, then Marriott Pinnacle is your place!!
2. Cars, cars, cars!  Allan (+company) loves cars, so we were chauffeured around in three “special” cars during the day.  I say special, because I haven’t a clue what they were (sorry Allan!) : P  But my accurate description is that they were “nice, dark, and leathery” : )
3. Japadog!  It’s so fun and relaxing for everyone to have a bite to eat during photo time, and this was my first try at a Japadog (there is a veggie version), thanks to Mark!
4. I want to make a separate blog post on one of the cool games they played during the reception.  Now that I’ve said it, I have to follow through and do it (later, I promise)  : )

Together with many friends and family, a picture perfect ceremony and a huge reception/party was held for Susan and Allan- starting off at “not too crazily early” in the morning (there is a scale of craziness for bridal start times), and going strong on through the night.  Check it:

Oh, and that crazy-wide shot with the sky and the skyscrapers? Breathtaking. Well done. Again!
