The City of Roses and Raindrops
I know it’s hard to believe, but it rained the whole time I was up in Portland. Really! It happened to be the week of the Rose Festival too, and apparently everybody knows it always rains during Rose festival. Oh well, it was still beautiful and the rain certainly didn’t stop the wedding - it just moved it inside.
Melissa looked great, of course.

The rain let up long enough for us to go outside to the original ceremony site after the ceremony:

Later, we spend a few minutes on the patio near the ballroom, dodging a few raindrops here and there.

Brenton and his Mom, a great moment:
I was priviledged to spend a bit of extra time with Melissa and Brenton after the wedding in downtown Portland, at the Riverplace Hotel.

Last shot of the day…Melissa sure knows how to wait for an elevator : )
