Sled Dog Racer Weds At Stop Along The Trail
Published: March 8, 2006
A sled pulled by eleven dogs brought veteran racer Tenley Meara to the site of her wedding overlooking the Allagash River along the trail in northern Maine where the Can-Am race was held.
here, under a white-veiled arch attached to two spruce trees, Meara married Wayne Bennett in a ceremony Monday in 22-degree weather. Bennett, a chef, proposed a year ago.
After a notary performed the ceremony, the couple were ferried across Route One on a decorated snowmobile to Two Rivers Lunch, where wedding cake was served.
The wedding took place a couple of days after Meara finished 18th in the Pepsi-Budweiser Can-Am Crown 30-mile sled dog race.
About 20 people attended the ceremony. They included other mushers and volunteers at the Allagash checkpoint in the Can-Am Crown International sled dog race.
The newlyweds own sporting camps at Eagle Lake in Aroostook County.
