2,525 metres up on top of Le Brevent in the French Alps, this ceremony site is breathtaking

Witnessed by a hundred or so visitors of Le Brevent at the time, the wedding party made their way down the graveled path.

The beaming couple walking down the "aisle". The lady in the photo is the wedding planner, who did a lot of the arrangements in Chamonix per the the bride's instructions.

The romantic tone of the event was tied together by this trio of excellent musicians.

Having tequila shots at in appropriate places is part of the couple's tradition. So as part of the wedding ceremony, we all got to toss back a shot in their honor. 

Mr. & Mrs. Ralph & Bailey Blakely!

The men huddled to keep themselves warm. It's the few weddings when the men weren't sweltering in their outfits.

The experiences we shared together during this trip will be remembered for the rest of our lives. We are blessed with such wonderful friends!

We had to take two different gondola lines to get to where we were. 

Lorene is Ralph's sister. They're world travelers with very interesting stories.

This ad by the gondola waiting area was icing on the cake. :D

This place was no joke.

This was the start of our thawing process. We all piled in the gondola very grateful to be insulated from the cold.

These blue bag were thoughtfully filled with snacks and a bottle of water + the gondola ticket.

This husband and wife team of photographers from Hampshire, UK were more than happy to travel to France to cover Bailey & Ralph's special day.

This hopefully gives you an idea how high we were
