Swapping high heels and brogues for ski and board boots, the bridal party attracted cheers, hugs and impromptu photo-ops with holiday makers in Champoluc on Thursday! Mr and Mrs Morgan had practised skiing in non-traditional attire earlier in the week when they took to the slopes as a 10ft T-rex and Marge Simpson with their band of merry men and women – including, a shark, Donald Trump, two Mexicans, and several (if not quite seven) dwarfs. We were left guessing at what the fancy dress theme could possibly be, but it all made sense once we were told it was things beginning with the bride and groom’s initials (S, D, G, M)!
Looking altogether more glamorous on the day they tied the knot, Stephanie and Gary were treated to a sunny outdoor ceremony in Antagnod, before heading for the Del Lago blue run from the top of the La Mandria chair lift.
The bride and her bridesmaids all had their dresses tailored to enable them to wear beautiful long dresses for the ceremony (obscuring their ski socks!) that would ‘hitch’ up in style for skiing later in the day!
Blue skies, a relatively warm day and spectacular views provided the perfect backdrop for the time of their lives and some very unique wedding photos! No one had to be told to smile for photos as guests, onlookers and our own Ski 2 staff grinned from ear to ear at the sheer joy of the day.
All that remains is to thank Steph and Gary and all of their guests for sharing this wonderful occasion with us.
Heather and Paul are regular visitors to Champoluc and, like us, feel very much at home in the resort and the stunning location.
