Dad and Lenore get hitched!

So, I don't have many pictures from the wedding. (In fact, I only took the two pictures of Ashton, Shane took all others)  I'm hoping that we'll get a crack at the professional photo's and perhaps some of the other family members will share some of theirs, too.

Saturday, November 30th was the big day.  The ceremony began at 9:20 a.m. in the St. George Temple.  Dad and Lenore were married for time by a very nice sealer.  Shane and Lenore's oldest son Jared were the witnesses.  Miriam and I (the oldest daughters) were seated where the Mother is traditionally seated.   The group was small.  Lenore's five kids and spouses (one is away in Germany) and then Shane and I.  Also Uncle Ed and Aunt Mindy attended along with Myrle and Kevin Watts, I think they were awesome for coming!!  Keven made the joke that he and Myrle were Dad's Grandparents.  It was funny. 

The ceremony was short, sweet and to the point.  Afterwards we met more of the crew and kiddos outside.  We waited a while for pictures.  I joked that we were waiting for the nice set of stairs for our picture and that no one wanted to be seen sitting on the 'white trashy' set of stairs. This gave Uncle Ed a chuckle.  Really, the shadow across the set of stairs is why the photographer didn't put us on the 'less desirable' set of steps.  

The Petty family made it in a few pictures. Ashton was NOT agreeable to the whole idea, and we'll be lucky if there are ANY with him.  It's good I had the foresight to snap a few candid shots as we waited for the couple to come out of the temple. 

I, as mentioned in my earlier post, did the cake, and it was lovely.  The luncheon at the Alumni House was very nice.  It was catered by Kneaders.  And Charity (Lenore's daughter) provided a hot chocolate bar with marshmallows, peppermint bits, whipped cream, and Pirouette cookies to enjoy.  Unfortunately the hot chocolate warmer was a little slow in warming the hot chocolate. 

Miriam and Charity sang "Fools Rush In" and Nolan (a son in law) sang "Let's Fly Away" they did a great, great job!  Then Dad and Lenore did their first dance. Nathan covered his eyes and groaned as the Bride and Groom smooched on the dance floor. The couple cut the cake, they changed into their Honey Moon clothes, and then they took off towards Vegas. 

Or, to my house, we saw as we pulled into the driveway, to pick up a few things before heading to Vegas.

Brooke and Wes left from the lunch to go North for the LOOOONG drive home.

The rest of the day, I lounged.  I did nothing at all!  I was free of the holiday!  I was free of wedding worries!!  I was sad to have the family gone, but felt so relieved to have the weekend over!!  (Nathan did have sad little tear when we came home.  He was sad that everyone was gone.  And, no offense to the humans, but I'm betting he was missing Stirling most of all)

As I get more pictures, I will try to post them.  But for now, I hope you enjoy the VERY few we were able to capture.
