The main reason for all the fun and family last week was because Colin and Amy got married. They were sealed in the new Draper Temple in the largest sealing room in any of the temples and it was packed. Outside was really bright and windy. Can you tell...
Didn't seem to matter to Colin and Amy though.
We made the long trek across the parking lot for the luncheon. As per Colin's wishes, we did a program which included the telling of their story with some oldie but goodies interspersed. We actually did practice (a little) but were totally shown up by Colin's folk dancer friends. They really practiced and were so cute. Colin finished it all off in style though by singing "I Chose Right" to Amy.
After the luncheon, we headed off to Leatherby's for a birthday celebration for two of Dana's girls. Dave was excited to go to Leatherby's because he has fond memories of it from California as a child. All the kids were excited by the huge dishes of ice cream. I didn't order one but there was still plenty for me to eat.
Of course, we were late in getting to the reception for pictures. Why is it that no matter how hard you try you always end up being late for pictures on a wedding day? I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked but there were a few...
Don't you love Nathan's haircut? He did it himself a couple of days before the wedding.
Dave bought his first suit in 15 years for the occasion.
The reception was at Amy's parent's home in Draper. They had cookies made from family recipes with a photo of the family member displayed. There was chocolate covered strawberries and my Aunt Laurie's amazing chocolate covered caramels. And also strawberry and chocolate milk, which my boys thoroughly enjoyed.
You can read my Mom's take on the day and see more pictures here. A few favorites from the day:
Finally, I have to add that it has been a bit like deja vu watching Colin and Amy the last year or so. A few similarities:- met on the BYU folk dance team
- dated on and off and on and off for over a year
- went on tour to Europe (Dave and I both went the summer of '97)
- went to tour to China (I went the summer of '98)
- sang "I Chose Right" in the reception/luncheon program
- car broke down on honeymoon (luckily, Colin and Amy came out of this one a lot better than Dave and I did)

Happy times, Happy times. I love the b&w shot of you and Ann-with-an-E. So cute.
And why is it that when I look at wedding pictures, my first comment is how young the groom looked - guess we women age so well!
Ditto to Amy and Colin being as happily married as you and Dave! And to their kids being as cute. And as being as nice to their parents. And...and...
Beautiful pictures. Congrats to Colin and Amy!
