Yachats Wedding

Upon returning to Oregon, we set out for the coastal town of Yachats in order to attend the wedding of some long-time friends. The drive took longer than expected due to an un-predicted snowstorm which caused a massive traffic jam. But we made it.

Yachats is a very cute town on the very beautiful Oregon coast. One feature of the coast is that it is always windy, and usually quite cool - even in the summer time. Notice the wind-sculpted tree in this picture of Iva and "the boys".
We took a nice walk along the coast just north of town. I like watching the waves crash on the rocks. Here is the Pacific on a calm day. We were fortunate to have excellent weather on the day of the wedding itself.
The groom. Looking sharp. As always.
There was a really personal, touching ceremony, after which we got to the most important part of the wedding: the cutting of the cake! Just joking of course, but there were amazing treats from Sweet Life, a dessert bakery in Eugene.
We spent the night after the wedding, enjoyed a fantastic breakfast (oatmeal with hazelnuts, almonds, & pomegranate), and headed back to Portland.
