Kristen & Jase's Wedding

Taylor and I flew to Utah for Kristen's wedding.  Kristen is Jeff's youngest baby and now he has all his kids out of the house!  Tom had a class he had to go to that week that he'd been signed up for for over a year (long before we knew about a wedding!) so he wasn't able to come in until the day after.

Wednesday night we had a family dinner for both families and close friends at The Wight House in Bountiful.

 The next morning they were married in the SLC temple.  The weather was very questionable but fortunately the rain held off.......

The gorgeous temple grounds!

Nick, Nixon and Shaylee....who is expecting #2!

 My battery went dead so I had few photos at the temple.  But, there was a large group of Asian tourists who somehow got meshed in with our group.  As soon as Kristen and Jase came out of the temple they started snapping photos.  They followed us over to the steps and door of the temple where everyone takes photos and just kept snapping away.  They cracked me up!  Like "Hey, look at the wacky Mormons!  Let's get some photos!" Brother. Asian paparazzi.

The reception was that night in Layton.  Again, the weather was questionable so the idea of being outside was nixed and everyone stayed inside once they got some outdoor photos.  It was a beautiful and casual reception.  We stayed the whole time and enjoyed just getting to visit with everyone!  Weddings are always so much fun!
