Ed and Carol travelled to the Yukon to attend Ed’s son’s wedding. Chris and Amanda tied the knot near Whitehorse, YT on July 26, 2008. While on the trip I encouraged Carol and Ed to adopt a permanent travel companion, Yukon, the Husky. Here are Carol, Yukon and I posing with the Welcome to Whitehorse sign.
The wedding was held on the couple’s property in a new subdivision carved out of the wilderness. Chris and Amanda recently completed the house. Here I am posing with Hanes, their vintage Volkswagen camper. Hanes was part of the accommodation for wedding guests.
Carol and Ed rented a more current version of a camper. I thought I should check out the hook-ups before we settled in for the night.
Everyone lent a hand getting the site ready, as the reception was held in a double party tent.
The bride made granola for each of the wedding guests as a wedding favour. Here I am checking out the candies on the table the morning of the wedding. I claimed the quality control job making sure everything tasted great.
We had a beautiful day for the wedding after a week of grey skies. Everything went off without a hitch, other than running out of alcohol early and Carol having to make a booze run at 11pm into town to see if anyone was still open. After explaining the situation, a store that had just closed and staff was on their way out, reopened and allowed to party to restock. What is a wedding party without lots of beer flowing? (especially in the Yukon!)

I got a dance with the wedding couple, with Ed looking on and then settled back to watch the party go until after 3 am. The next morning the family all got together for a brunch. Some of us had been up later than others and were a bit worse for wear at the brunch. Of course Chris and Ed were still up to their old tricks. I was checking out the jams and jellies on the table.
After brunch we went for a tour around town. I thought I might like to stay in the Yukon and help with the local refreshment delivery.
But my escorts Carol and Ed said I should see the other places I was scheduled to go before deciding if I wanted to settle anywhere. So we all headed back and I continues on my adventures with my next escort.
