Wedding

It's taken us a few days to re-coop from this. :p But on May 17th my brother in law Robert was married in the Salt Lake Temple for time and all eternity. I had the opportunity to go to the ceremony and watch them be sealed together. the love and spirit that I was able to feel there was amazing. I had a wonderful personal experience that I have actually saved for my other journal. Sorry but I feel it was something that was meant just for me and so I don't want to share it with the world.
Rob has been searching for a long time and I have not seen him as happy as his new wife Ilia makes him. After the ceremony we went onto the temple grounds to meet up with the rest of our family as well as Ilia's (pronounced ill-e-ah). I was chasing Avery all around the temple grounds so I didn't get any pictures but I was able to get some from other family members.

  After we were done taking pictures we only had a couple hours before the reception so we took advantage of that time to go get some lunch/dinner at Red Robin. Then we headed up to Foothill to the reception at a cute little church at the mouth of the canyon. I got Avery changed into her flower girl outfit and got her all dolled up for a few more pictures. She didn't like that to much. The reception was nice. I was able to see a lot of James' family and friends that I haven't seen in a while as well as meet some new friends. Most of the evening was chasing Avery around the church so I didn't get to spend a lot of time in the actual reception space. But I was able to eat a little food and get snatched by James to dance one dance with him. I didn't get to see the bride and grooms first dance but I got to see the cake, garter and bouquet. The reception went well into the night and then Avery and I locked ourselves in the mothers room so everyone could clean up without worrying about Avery getting in their way, taking food or running out the open doors. Rob and Ilia stayed pretty late before making there way to Park City for the night and then to the airport the following morning to their honeymoon in Bora Bora.

 Oh I really wish this picture worked. This was the only picture I got on my camera. James and Avery were dancing and right as I grabbed the camera and tried to snap the picture Avery ran away. So I got this lovely picture of her running away.
