Alphorns - traditional Swiss instruments made from beautiful spruce or pine wood and traditionally used by mountain dwellers
Thalassa, Sarah, Anna and I finally arriving to the castle after a one hour hike down from the mountain where most of the guests stayed.
As Thalassa's invited plus-one date, I had the lovely opportunity to witness a beautiful wedding in Switzerland. Ellen and her husband, Seth met a week before she decided to take a year off from Yale to sail around the world with him on a sailboat. During that time they fell in love and he continued to spend four more years on the boat as she visited him wherever he was after returning back to Yale. He proposed to her on the mountains above Aigle on a winters day skiing in the Alps during an avalanche safety course he bought for her for Christmas. Aigle is the village they skied down to after the proposal and this castle surrounded by vineyards in the photograph stands above Aigle where they now live.
The following is a dropbox of more photographs - a compilation of photographs take by guests of the wedding.

Ellen is coming out with a book about their adventures sailing around the world which I will add to the blog upon its publication!
