The Wedding

(please note my camera broke on the way out of town to head to the wedding/reunion. All crummy pictures are compliments of my iPhone. Enjoy)

For a large amount of the time I have known Greg’s dad, I often wondered if he’d ever get married again. He is a wonderful man and deserved someone just as sweet.

Last week, that dream finally came true and he wed a good friend of mine – now Mother-in-Law – Becky.

It was magical to be in the sealing inside the Nauvoo, Illinois Temple. I am grateful for the opportunity to witness them being sealed together for time and all eternity.

By the time we got around to taking a picture of the Patten Grandkids, they were HOT, HUNGRY and NOT wanting to be in the picture. However, this was a moment in time – so we captured it anyhow!
