Just the 2 of us for a few pictures by ourselves. Since the pictures were taken before the wedding we had about 15 minutes to see each other for the first time and start the marathon picture process.
All covered up!
My beautiful bride. Do you think I look excited?!
Carrie looked beautiful...
Sharing the moment.

The groomsmen and the Bible boy Ethan. The pictures lasted from around 12:15 p.m. until 2:15. It was a long time to stand and smile but looking back now was definitely worth it!

Wedding Day from Jaclyn's Perspective

The big day from the perspective of Jaclyn's camera. My 2 wedding day posts earlier were from my camera. Talking to my Best Man Jeff before the ceremony.

Jeff did a great job and it was a blast to have him and Sara here for the weekend.
The paparazzi capturing the moment.
The view from the balcony where the strings played.
Jaclyn and Renee.
From behind the arbor looking down the isle. Karen G. did a terrific job of decorating this on Thursday afternoon as she took at least 4+ hours on it. Thanks a lot Karen, it looked great!

John signs the signature mat. It was fun to have John around too as this was the first time in the last 9 years I haven't gone to CO to board. The week my parents were gone out there I was actually teaching at Hardy and doing some wedding planning with Carrie in the evenings. Carrie just put a picture of us at the Goliath Wall after the wedding in the center of this mat.
The invitations. Carrie, Jaclyn, Kelli and my mom folded and tied these on Tuesday of the wedding week.
Amy and Jeremy give us their greetings after the ceremony.
Jaclyn, Tara, Lindsey, John and Jeff made a great wedding party. Where was Grant? We couldn't have chosen a better group. It was a fun weekend.
The bridesmaids.

Ethan and Ella get comfortable.
The veggie tray at the Reception. After the wedding since the weather had cleared up we drove over to the Goliath Wall and got some pictures with the arbor. Thanks for bringing it out there Dan, John and Jeff! My cousins got a good workout hauling that thing around Sunday for sure!

The 2 grooms cakes. Good choice, don't you think?

Linda was a big help setting up Saturday night. It was great that the Kwans could come down for the weekend! With both lunch and supper at the 50s Diner at CA, it was a good chance for a lot of family to get together and catch up on Sabbath.
