(continuing our story of Chris and Nichole‘s wedding day)

As I mentioned, the intention was to have the ceremony overlooking the lake at Q’emiln Park (in Post Falls, ID), with the reception at a pavilion also in the park.

But it rained on and off all afternoon.

Chris and Nichole reserved a couple of rooms (next to each other) at the Red Lion Hotel – almost right across the street from the wedding location and right on the river.

The rooms were the perfect spot for Chris and Nichole’s HUGE wedding party to get ready all in the same place …

As I said, the rooms were next door to each other (girls in a 2-room suite). And both opened out to the back-yard area overlooking the river. Such a relaxing place to hang out, socialize and get ready for a wedding!
