| One of today's weddings took us back to Heinz Chapel, and then our first trip of this year to LeMont Pittsburgh. LeMont Pittsburgh is a AAA Four Diamond restaurant, and if the outstanding food and service aren't enough, there's always "the view". Perched atop Mt. Washington on Grandview's restaurant row, LeMont Pittsburgh offers one of the most picturesque views of any city anywhere. At right is a view of downtown Pittsburgh taken from LeMont's lower dining room, where our wedding reception was being held. LeMont's home page has an almost identical view taken at night. |

| The wedding cake was white fondant with chocolate fondant bands, and did it smell good! We added the circus roses and petals. |
 |
| Centerpieces were made from white hydrangea, circus roses, hypericum and eucalyptis in a cube vase. How about an elegant place setting overlooking downtown Pittsburgh? |
 |
| If the Steelers are more your style, simply turn your head the other way, and your wedding guests overlook the Ohio River and Heinz Field. Bottles of wine with personalized labels were favors for adults. The children received small boxes of chocolates. |

The Ohio River starts right at the fountain, and the star shaped thing slightly to the right of the fountain is historical Ft. Pitt. The bridge in the foreground is the Ft. Pitt Bridge.
