Wedding #1 down

Today was the wedding day for David and Savannah!

We started off with a slow morning and a trip to a local restaurant Mediterra Cafe for breakfast with Emily and Bryan. We ate outside, which made for good local watching. The food was delicious, pastries were decadent, and the coffee… well, we didn’t have any coffee and didn’t ask Emily and Bryan how it was.

Next was the number 1 tourist thing to do in Pittsburgh, the Funicular, which is basically a rail car, pulled by a cable up a steep hill. The rail car is built on a ramp so the floor is horizontal as the car ascends/decends. Great views of the three rivers and downtown Pittsburgh from the top. We also went on a short walk before taking the funicular back down. There was a little excitement/delay for the return trip as the funicular car door (which was designed and built in the mid 1800’s wouldn’t open and the needed to perform some minor adjustments to get it working again.

A drive back to the house, and a failed attempt to find a market to buy some lunch, ended at what is essentially gas station food eaten at the house. We all showered, got dressed, and headed off to the wedding.

We arrived early as Dan was the Officient and needed to line up with the bridal party. The ceremony went off as planned and was short and sweet, only about 20 minutes long. Cocktal party and Dinner were excellent, with about 4 hours of heavy dancing. 💃 🕺. It was a great evening!Read more
