Chapter 3- THE WEDDING!!!!

THE SALT LAKE TEMPLE- Gorgeous!




The happy couple! So cute!

My baby brother, Nathan, got married on July 29th. He and his wife, Mandy were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple and it was a beautiful ceremony. All of my sisters were able to be there as well as all of their husbands, except one because he was working. It was such an amazing feeling to be in the temple with my whole family. It must have been so incredible for my parents to be there with all of their children. I cannot wait until I can be in the temple with all of my (soon to be) five children. I was very emotional thinking of my baby brother being married and just the incredible feeling of being there with my whole family. It was the highlight of our trip.

What darling kids!







We had the wedding luncheon at the Wight House in Bountiful. It was very good and such a pretty place to have it. It was super fancy with goblets for everyone to drink out of it. I was afraid we may have an accident, but all of the glasses stayed in tact. Yea! The kids were all so good and well behaved. They had the desert, a yummy chocolate cake sitting at the table when we first sat down. Shaylee downed that cake long before we got our meal. I mean really, how is a girl to resist a chocolate cake just sitting there in front of her? YUM!




This is my cute niece Jilly!


Shaylee and Annika


Jaron and Jilly (he is thrilled, she not so much)


Brandon and Kenyon


The head table






Seriously! Who doesn't LOVE two cute little girls!


The reception was in the back garden of the Lion House and it was so gorgeous. I didn't even know they had such a secluded and beautiful garden. Mandy looked beautiful and Nate was so handsome. They are such a cute couple and they are so happy together.









We got there pretty early for pictures and while the kids were waiting for the reception to start they played Red Light Green Light and Brandon got grass stains on his pants even before we had our pictures taken! I was so annoyed, but we just had him kneel so we couldn't see his knee. BOYS! We were at the reception from 5:00 until around 9:00 with no dinner, so the kids went to town on the refreshments. They had Italian ice there and Brandon had about six of them. He had to try every flavor and then have two of his favorites! Jaron ate a brownie, two ices and the wedding cake. Great dinners, poor kids! It was a fun night and we are so glad to have Mandy in our family! Yea, another sister!






This is my family!
Cindy, Amy, Me, Dad, Nate, Mom, Gina, and Debbie



All the girls including the new addition! The Bride!


(almost) All the boys! Nate C., Pete, Nathan, Jeb and Karl
missing Kirk




The cake was made to look like her dress!
Isn't that the cutest idea? So pretty!




Almost as beautiful as the bride!

Pete's mom is so supportive of any family events we have. She came all the way to Salt Lake with David, in the big specially equipped van to attend the wedding. The van is hard to park in the city, so we said a lot of silent prayers and she was able to find a great parking spot on the street right in front of the Lion House. What a lot of time and effort just to come to Nathan's wedding. All her efforts were so appreciated by my family. Love you, Kathy!
