Only three weeks remain before Rachel Yeager and Will Lynch say their vows at True North, the highest ground at A Point of View.

| Will Lynch and Rachel Yeager, Late Summer 2017 |
Both live in Birmingham, AL, so we have had a few meetings, many phone calls and hundreds of texts and pinnings of ideas and photos over the last year. Flashback:

Over the winter months, Traylor built a platform at the top intended not just for the ceremony, but for chiminea fires in times to come, and a peaceful place to just stop while walking and soak up the beauty.

Fast-forward to early May: The bride has finalized her plans. Dresses and mens' suits have been fitted. Invitations are out and RSVPs are in.

Winter lingered into April this year but, finally, we have the pastels of spring tinging the trees, a sure sign that green leaves will be the backdrop for the event.
 |
| Finally green again! |
 |
| Trees budding in pastels. Spring has arrived! |
Plants seem to be springing late, including the flowers we hope to feature in bouquets. I've been watching the peonies, hoping they will bloom on time and in time for the wedding.

Hal, Rachel's Dad also finished an arbor to feature during the nuptials. He will be loading this on a large trailer and hauling it from Birmingham to set up in time to decorate with greenery and flowers.

I made prayer flags in Rachel's chosen colors on white for decorating the informal picnic shelter.

Rachel and Will have been working hard and saving money for the wedding and a trip. Plans are coming together. And now...It's almost time.
