Here are a few photos from our wedding on November 17 2003, on the south rim of the Chisos Mountains in Big Bend National Park. Click on one of the small images to see it full size.

This is the beautiful photo of the south rim that Richard Reynolds Photography kindly let us use for our announcement cards, that were produced by Lisa at Gogo Creative.

Janice, Charlie and Curtis, our minister, at the entrance to Big Bend National Park. At the Chisos Mountains trailhead, ready to hike up to the south rim for our wedding. It was cold after we climbed up out of the basin onto the pass that leads to the south rim. This is the spot on the south rim where we were married.
Charlie getting dressed in his wedding clothes (thanks to Lisa at Gogo Creative for the T-shirts). Janice getting dressed in her wedding clothes. The wind was trying to blow Janice's veil all the way to Mexico. "Hurry up and kiss me so I can get my sweatshirt back on".
The newlyweds looking out over 50 miles of Texas, the Rio Grande and another 50 miles of Mexico. Words cannot express our gratitude to Curtis for giving us such a moving marriage ceremony in special place that means so much to both of us. Janice made sure that Curtis filled out the paperwork correctly (luckily one of us knew which county Big Bend is in). After a traditional wedding lunch of Power Bars and Pringles, we hiked out to the East Rim.
On the way back down the mountain, the sun came out and the view through the gully known as "the window" was spectacular. We made it back to the lodge just in time to take quick showers...... ...... before a champagne toast overlooking the window at sunset. Sunset at the end of our perfect wedding day.
