Josh and Rebecca are Married!

YAY! What a fun day. I love weddings and this month has been full of good ones!

Thank you to Uncle Eric who took Garrett to Cabela's while we were at the temple and thank you to Amy for babysitting Abby! Abby was being a bit of a stinker, so it was nice to only have one kid to chase for a portion of the day.

The handsome groom, everybody's favorite 2nd cousin (Shannon), and my sweetheart. Love them all!

Their reception was at Highland Gardens in American Fork. They had the most amazing indoor garden room and Garrett felt like we were living in "The Jungle Book." He had the time of his life and kept trying to crawl in the plants and act like various jungle animals.

Yes, I realize he's wearing a shark jacket to a wedding reception. He had a nicer shirt on underneath, but he loves the jacket and it had been a LONG day, and I decided to heed the oft-given parenting advice and "choose my battle." I opted not to choose that battle and let him wear the blasted jacket. Everybody was happy.

Boy, oh boy, this man of mine is turning into the quite the gem. (That sounds bad, he's always been a gem, but he's been through the refiner's fire of life with me and he is POLISHED!) I mentioned earlier that I LOVE weddings. Remember the law you learned in science class: For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction??? Greg would be the "opposite and equal reaction" in our case. He loathes weddings every bit as much as I love them.

We've had two weddings in the past two weeks. And we're talking the whole day affair: luncheons, ceremonies, pictures, receptions, more pictures, you know the drill. To make it even better, Greg has been a groomsman at both weddings, which means he got to wear a PINK tie at the last one and a PURPLE one tonight. His two favorite colors in two weeks...and he's still smiling and didn't even complain once.

I think he looks good in purple...

It must be a sign that I'm getting old, but I love the mom and dad pictures almost as much as I love the bride and groom photos. So sweet!

And speaking of sweet, these two lovely ladies are both available and they are beautiful!
I've always had a thing for yellow, so I totally LOVED their dresses.

Josh frequently comes up to visit and he even stayed with us during the summer a few years ago, so my family also knows and loves Josh and Becca. They came down to the reception and Garrett so thrilled to see his beloved Grace. He grabbed her hand and took her immediately to see the "jungle."

And that's it. Mucho thanks to Josh and Becca for letting us be a part of their special day!

Coming soon: Eric's college graduation. And by soon, I mean REALLY soon. Like tomorrow morning at 8 AM. I better get to bed...
