The bride’s mother is Pamela Cunningham, recently retired as general manager of the Aspen Alps. The bride’s father, Timothy Cunningham, was a member of the first Snowmass Mountain Ski Patrol. The groom’s family and friends from Quebec City and Vancouver were in attendance, visiting the Aspen area for the first time.

Uncles of the bride and groom celebrated the marriage in English and French. Scottish bagpipes played a tribute to family and friends unable to be present. A mountaintop reception in the Scottish tradition was followed by a French fete at the Inn at Aspen.
