Kris and Chelsea's Wedding

Kris and Chelsea (Mary's brother and his bride) were married and sealed to one another on March 5th in the Mt. Timpanogas Temple for our church. I got to be his escort and witness for the wedding, which was a neat opportunity for me. I enjoyed spending some solo time with Kris as he got ready for his sealing and afterward as his bride finished getting ready after the sealing to leave the temple. They both looked so great. The night before, we had a gathering at her folks house and had some good grub and got to meet her family for the first time, which was fun. Chelsea has some fun sibs and sibs-in-law. Kris and Chelsea got married in the morning. The sealer who performed their marriage did an excellent job and it was a beautiful sealing ordinance. Below are some pics outside the temple.

Here they are as they emerge from the temple... what a beautiful couple!

Here is a pic of all the family just celebrating. I tried to get more pics from Chelsea's FB account but they would publish on here as really small. I'm sure there's a way to avoid that, but I don't know it.

Jane and I, what a cute li'l girl!

When we woke up the morning of the wedding and were in a hurry, this is what we found on the ground outside our friends' home. Fortunately, as you can tell from the pics above, the snow didn't last and the sun was out and shiny. It was still pretty cold and windy though!

It was a really long and busy day. After the wedding and pics we went to Kris' apartment and spent some down time with the kids while Mary, her folks, and sibs got ready for the luncheon for some of the family and friends that we hosted. Mary and her sister did an amazing job planning and preparing for this event and, with some much needed help, it turned out wonderful. I'm going to let Mary post about that.
