Glen House, Newry Maine

This wedding started out at the Glen House, on the edge of the Sunday River Golf Course, and then traveled to the Covered Bridge also in Newry and then back up to Sliders in Sunday River's Grand Jordan Hotel. None of these locations are actually in Bethel, Maine, but I think of the entire area as Bethel.

Laura and Seth are an amazing couple. It was pouring rain on the morning of their wedding day. They had originally wanted to have the wedding on the lawn at the Glen House. But because of the rain, had decided to get married inside the Glen House. At the last minute, since they had already reserved the covered bridge for photos, they moved the entire operation down to the Artist's Covered Bridge. It is reportedly the most painted and photographed bridge in Maine. With all the weddings that happen on the bridge, it would have to be!

They had their ceremony on the bridge with the rain pounding down outside and the wind howling. It was the most romantic thing I have ever seen. The couple and their friends were completely unfazed by the rain.

As were Laura's two elderly golden retrievers. I have seen a lot of couple try to involve their dogs in ceremonies, but, like two year old flower girls, when the the time comes, they usually have plans of their own. Not these two dogs. They posed as pretty as could be.
