Nels and Faith's Wedding - June 25, 2011

If you know the Olson family, you know that we are always ready for a celebration! We don't take birthdays lightly, we treasure Christmas and Thanksgiving get togethers, and we cherish the opportunity to witness two people say their vows and declare their love for one another. Last year, many of us were together celebrating Sig's 60th in Cape Cod when Uncle Tom and Aunt Bonnie got a surprise phone call from Nels telling them he had just proposed to Faith. Fast Forward one year and we were all gathered in Santa Fe for the beautiful ceremony and reception. Set at Hyde Memorial State Park Lodge in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the location was perfect for this calm, nature loving, couple.
