The drive from Vancouver to Whistler is incredible with snow capped mountain and the odd glazier on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, although the sea looked very calm. Whistler Village is packed with holiday makers as it is a long weekend. Our cabin sleeps 12 people and has every mod con and plenty of room for us all. From the deck where we are writing the blog we overlook the lake and a snow capped mountain, lots of pine trees everywhere.
The big task for Saturday is to meet Fr. William at St John the Divine Anglican Church, Squamish (which is about 45 minutes drive back down the mountain) and to have the wedding rehearsal. William is a delightful guy and very easy going, Steve and Eryn are able to meet up personally with their wedding planner and the photographer. It all goes really well and Aunt Sue, Glenys and Ray have time to make up two simple flower arrangements to decorate the church for the weekend.
We return to the house and prepare for the next event, the pre wedding party at the Thirds. Eryn has told us about the great friendship between the Lackies and the Thirds and they are truly wonderful people. Rob barbeques salmon on his deck which overlooks the stream that flows through the town. Rob is a metal fabricator, his company is involved in large construction projects, bridges and sky-scrapers, their house is made of steel also and a fantastic place for a party. They are amazingly hospitable and with family and friends we are about 30 people all superbly fed, especially salmon.
Today the household is off in all sorts of directions, Rach and Chops are doing a bike ride, Glen and Trevor are riding the gondala, the boys are shopping and getting their hair cut, Macka and Ray are playing golf (of course).
Tonight we are all back to the Thirds fo the annual Pig Roast, this time apparently there will be a stack of people friends and neighbours, about 80 they think! It all adds up to a big day and tomorrow is the "big day".
