Cochino Lodge hosts Slemmons and Cole Wedding October 22, 2011

Wonderful Weather for the
Slemmons and Cole Wedding
The families gathered the day before to do the decor and rehersal dinner.
It took a vary large family to get things done as there was a lot of decor and preparations and cooking.
It was a great wedding day  as well. The weather was ideal.




Unity Sand Ceremony
Under the Arch that the Bride's Father designed and made.
A great design, very unique.

Fantastic Cake

The Bridesmaids and the Groom


Blessing Stones were given to each guest as they were seated for the Ceremony.
Each guest took the stone and for a moment made a wish or a blessing for the happiness and good will for the Groom and the Bride and their future.  The stones were then combined with love in the same basket when the ceremony was over. In this way friends and family were joined through the bride and groom into one.  Their paths are now one.  All is now shared and with this comes new strength and joy as together they forge a new life's path and destination.   The new couple took the stones with them as symbol of each one's blessings for them.

House of Prayer at Cochino Lodge
A tradition is beginning where guests
leave a cross or other religious symbol standing for good intentions and prayers
for the newly married couple as well as
those having been married for many years. 

The Key Tree at Cochino Lodge. Old Keys are nailed
to a Cedar Post that represent decades of locking and unlocking doors, mailboxes, cars,  suitcases, diaries, and the like. Keys change as life changes. House keys especially as well as car keys.

THE KISS



Just After the Ceremony

Just a quick look back at where the young couple just made their vows to each other.

They Promised
to Live..............
