I took some pictures with my dumb phone and here's a link.

We were asked to put our cell phones away during the ceremony as they had three videographers and a still photographer and they really knew their stuff.

they stayed busy until 9pm.the wedding was at 4.We were there for pictures at before 2 and the grooms mother and I were taken to the wedding location instead of the photo locations. after 1 1/2 hours later, they were trying to find out what happened to us. This was about 3:30 so they took us to the right place and we finished the groupings that were requested we be in. The wedding was only 5-10 minutes late

the wedding was amazing. the ceremony was outside and the reception was about 100 feet away.

they had a person who ran the show so it was a wonderfully seamless event.

They got to choose 4 animals to have come visit during the reception that's what the cheetah and golden eagle are about. There was also a kangaroo and another cat that was very beautiful.

The park is non profit. there is a donation required for the use of the park. As the groom works for microsoft, microsoft matched the amount.

All the servers were volunteers and all the profits from the wedding go to the park also.

(there were approximately 75 guests I only noticed one person sneaking out to smoke.)

It looked like a wonderful day for a wedding!  And, Dale, you looked so very handsome in your suit and tie!  (I'll be Jessie was glad you didn't wear your visor with the furry wig! LOL)  It looked like a very unique place for a wedding, yet with some very lovely traditional touches.  Congratulations on your new son-in-law!

xxxooo,   Sky

That you in the suit and tie?  Nah, that ain't the gnu I gnow.  Must be a relative of the one with the funky hairy hat!  And here I thought you were just making a joke about the Wild Animal Park.  Looks like it was a blast.  So happy for you and them!  Sweet.
