Wedding, Reception, and All-Night Drive
Today was a hugely busy and VERY long day! This morning, Julia Liddell and Mark Daniel were sealed in the temple. It was wonderful to be there! Luck would have it that our home teacher and the Stake Patriarch (who is also a sealer in the temple) performed the ceremony. 🙂 Julia had asked me to take pictures as well of all the events, so I shot a ton (along with the other photographer that was there). She was the official one so I hope I didn’t get in her way.
After the sealing ceremony at the temple, we all went down to our church building in Castle Rock for the wedding breakfast. They had asked me take a bunch of photos there as well so I did. We really enjoyed the time there and both Terry and Mark really set the bar for all the guys there by both singing to Julia. 🙂
After the luncheon, we went home and got ready for the reception. Brittany was asked to make the wedding cake and she did an AWESOME job on it. It was big and weighed about 80 pounds! We went to the reception and had to hurry through it because we had an all-night drive ahead of us…
As a last act before we left to take Brittany to college, she was the one who caught the bouquet of flowers! 🙂 I hope that doesn’t mean anything! 🙂 We took off from Castle Rock with Brittany, all of her stuff, Ally Tanner, and Angela and I at about 7pm. We drove all night long to get to Rexburg by 6am so Brittany could get checked in, unpacked, and participate in the events of the day. Angela and I got to the point where we were driving for an hour, then jumping out, changing, and driving again! We are exhausted!
