Ondrej and Ivona's Wedding

Here's a couple pictures I got of Ivona and Darcie arriving at the winery. They're not the best. They're from my phone camera



After the beautiful ceremony, while the wedding party was getting pictures taken, the guests were starting a tour of the winery when a big storm blew through Kelowna. Here's some pic's of the aftermath
This tree fell across the entrance to the winery and broke some power lines

Here's the broken power lines. The other end started the fires

Here's the video I got of the two spot fires when they were at their biggest. This is just before they started putting water on them. You can see a truck coming into view with its lights on. There's a house just to the left of the largest fire and found out later it sustained heat damage to the side of it. This could've gotten way out of hand though considering the size of it before they put water on it and considering how much fuel there was to burn around it. It was put out within an hour or so. There was no power from 3:30 till 10pm so we didn't get to have the steak and shrimp we were supposed to have since there was no power to cook the food. The winery did a great job improvising though. We had a cheese and fruit platter, then pasta with chicken in it. Not sure if they bought it and served it or somehow made it.
