Giving of the rings.

The entrance table.
The sign said "Faith in God, includes Faith in his timing"

The little paper wedding shoe was a gift at my bridal shower and went perfectly!

A few more random pictures.

Gracie, not sure if she should pick up the flowers or put them down.

The married kiss!

I love Jason!

The table dedocations were bright pink squares, multi-colored pink roses, 3 different engagement pictures in silver frames. Not one picture in the whole place was alike.

Our dessert spread. We served salad, soup and a roll for dinner.

Eileen and Maurice Twitchell who introduced us.
The men look great, the women terrible!
Maurice had emailed me asking for permission to introduce me to Jason. I emailed back asking if he was "normal." Maurice assured me that yes he was normal and good looking! 2 months and 3 weeks late we were man and wife.

AnnMarie came from the Tri-cities to do my makeup.

Mom helping me bustle the dress.

Cindy my sister helping too.

Getting Close!

My sister Beth in North Carolina made the Veil.

My Testimony

The gospel is everything to me. It's everything I am. It’s how I define myself. As I read the scriptures every night, the pain of my day is swept away. I’m sure of its truthfulness. As in times past the Lord has chosen prophets to lead his work on the earth. Today the prophet is Thomas S. Monson, but it was Joseph Smith who was first called in this time, this dispensation to RESTORE Biblical Christianity. The reformation was not enough. Confusion still reigned. When I think of the knowledge that Joseph Smith brought back to the world I cannot give it up. I cannot give up that I will see my father who has passed on again. I cannot give up eternal marriage, baptism’s for the dead, revelation, priesthood authority not only in the church but in my home, and especially The Book of Mormon. Every time I read that book the Spirit tells me it is true, the doctrine is true, the people who lived it are real. There is greater joy and peace and knowledge to be had not only in this life, but in the next. Of this I know and bear witness of.
