Picture a mountain covered in snow. A crisp, perfect ski day. The ski bunny dressed to distract and the ski bomber attacking the hill.


When he skied past her... it sparked a snow flurry. Who knew that a fun day at Lee Canyon would turn out to be more lucky than dice showing a five and a two on a craps table?


Being a ski bomber, however, Rad needed to get in as many runs down the hill as humanly possible. He couldn't stop to admire a ski bunny -- even one as enticing as Cheryl. So, like any truly smart woman, she followed him down the slope.


Like all good skiing love stories, the couple crossed paths again at the ski lodge. It was ski heaven at first sight. Rad with the stunning smile and Cheryl just as pretty up close, as a stylish blur on the slopes.


Cheryl's girlfriend did the introductions, but she probably ended up feeling like a third wheel. Cheryl & Rad spent the rest of the day together.


After that first meeting, Lee Canyon became their rendezvous point. They had the same day off. They had friends as buffers. They had glorious ski days. It was a great, safe way to get to know each other.


But then something strange happened.


The friends stopped coming to ski. For three weeks, Cheryl and Rad seemed to have the slopes to themselves. And the spark between them grew during those long chair lift rides.


By the time the winter Olympics came around, Rad had asked for her phone number. They tore up the phones texting about how they could do downhill better than Bode Miller.


But then something strange happened again.


Rad texted: "Maybe we will watch the next Olympics together."


For a snow bunny, that meant the start of something big!

Cheryl & Rad will exchange vows in Reno, the home of the bride's family and where she attended college.


Just as a reminder...

TIME TO ARRIVE: 4:30 p.m.


TIME OF CEREMONY: 5:00 p.m.

The wedding party will take pictures and then meet their guests at the reception.

The reception begins at 6:30pm at Charlie Palmers restaurant, located at Grand Sierra Resort, 2500 East Second Street. (Only a 5 minute drive from the church.) We will dine in a private room located inside the restaurant. Charlie Palmers is a wonderful gourmet experience!


The menu will include a choice between french onion soup or salad; filet mignon, halibut, or crispy free range chicken... and wedding cake. Prepare yourself for a white whipped cream frosting with white cake made with Grand Marnier and strawberries.


The reception meal is Cheryl's & Rad's gift to you! "It means a lot to us to share this day with all the people that are important in our lives," Cheryl said. "You make our day extra special!"

Cheryl & Rad will fly back to Las Vegas on the Friday after the wedding to pack and quickly prepare for their Saturday flight to Amsterdam! They are booked on a Rhine River Viking Cruise. It begins in Amsterdam, continuing through France, Germany and finishing in Basil, Switzerland.

Cheryl & Rad are looking forward to seeing windmills in Holland, hopefully during the Tulip Festival when thousands of tulips will be in bloom; visiting wineries in France; castles and a hofbräuhaus or two in Germany; the amazing Swiss Alps; and maybe even get in a little skiing.


The couple is spending two extra days in Zurich at the Mariott Hotel. They will take pictures to share on their blog -- right here on this website -- and will post updates about their amazing honeymoon. So, check back often! You can experience the trip with them!

Dear Family & Friends,


We are thrilled to share our wedding day with all of you, whether you can join us in person or by Skype! We want everyone to know how much it means to us to share our happiness with all of you.


We look forward to a long happy life together. And in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: "What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Within us is simply love.


God Bless you all.......


Cheryl & Rad
