The couple begins with a short announcement...	"We got married at the court last week."
Then stand back as everyone reacts.

Ernst and Emily get refilled by Hans.
Retrieving chilled champagne.	Unfortunately the dog would only retrieve sticks.
Everyone tells their E&E story to the tape recorder.
	Emily listens to Stephanie's story...

Packing up as the storm clouds come in....	Ariel the super mountain dog.

Now, the party must begin (after a cold and drenching ride down the mountain)...

Susie and Ernst.	Hans in his thrift store duds.
	The two fiddle band, and the view from the living room.

Socializing all around.
Hal not being social.	Charlie and Hans
Charlie	The feet files....
Charlie's	Hans'
Fiddle guys'	Hal's

Stephanie's	Grungy.
Toe pointers.	A parting flower shot, just outside Ouray.
