I left to go to Denver on Tuesday and arrived early afternoon. It was great that I had decided to go a day early so I could spend some times with Dora and seeing their new home and Abby again. I could also catch up with her old friend Bridget who also came to town for the wedding, and enjoyed a nice homemade dinner with some of their other friends as well. The next morning after Robb went to work for 1/2 day, and after Dora and Bridget took off earlier to Steamboat Springs, I hung out at their home until time to pick up Mom and Yvonne from the airport. Then we met up with Gloria and Chuck for lunch, and we caravanned up to Steamboat Springs together. It was cloudy, drizzling and cold when we arrived, but the place was beautiful. We checked into our 2-bedroom hotel. After some rest, we found an Vietnamese restaurant and all of us enjoyed a soupy dinner on this rainy night. It was great that we chose to stay in a 2-bedroom together as we could play some card games before the night ended each night.
On their wedding day 9/12/19, the sky was cleared and it was beautiful outside. Gloria and Chuck went on an early walk while Yvonne and I took a shorter walk just around our hotel. We had a good breakfast in our suite and then drove to the wedding site. The weather had cooperated and the ground had tried up; thus Dora and Robb were relieved to learn that they could continue their original plan to have the outdoor wedding. This area with the lake and a huge barn was beautiful and serene, and the cabin we could use to get ready was adorable. Dora arrived with her hair and make up done, and she looked amazing. All her girlfriends arrived shortly as well and all gathered with us in the cabin. Dora got dressed and everyone was then ready for this important moment. We all got seated for this short and sweet wedding. When Dora’s friend played the wedding song, I was touched and was very happy for Dora and for that very moment. Dora and Robb’s friend Eric officiated this important event for them, and it went smoothly as planned. We now have Mr. and Mrs Sandle.
After taking pictures with the bride and groom, Julia and I stayed behind while others left the wedding site. We waited around and watched the couple having their photos taken by the photographer. When everything completed, Dora drove me back to the hotel in her wedding dress 
. I made it in time to have lunch with others in our hotel room. After a break and a nap, 3 of us with Bridget went for a short hike locally to check out a waterfall. It was exciting to see the pretty scenery without needing to hike a long way. After some pictures, we had to quickly get home and get ready again for dinner. Dora and Robb chose a nice restaurant to have a wonderful dinner with all the guests. Everyone enjoyed this nice evening. Robb and Dora also came back with us to the hotel to give tea to mom which made her very happy. Gloria and Chuck had also done that before the dinner, thus now everything is official and all of us are married!

The next morning we had breakfast and checked out to leave this beautiful city to head back to Denver. Bridget left with us, and we all took a break at an outlet mall half way through the drive. We finally stopped for lunch and said goodbye to Gloria and Chuck. The remaining of us, Yvonne, Mom, Bridget and I had our flights all planned quite close to each other in the afternoon, and we flew home to our respective homes safely. I am very happy with how everything went during this whole trip and it was great seeing everyone. Congratulation to Dora and Robb again as well!
