Alex and Kailie Wed

The day started out early but was a beautiful day. We left early as her ceremony was at 9:20. We arrived with no problems and got all the required paperwork and other things done before we changed our clothes for the ceremony. Holli and Dave were running a little late as Holli doesn't move to fast these days being so pregnant. It was so special having all my kids there and seeing that Paul and I had managed to somehow have them all there. What a glorious day it was to know that we had maybe taught them right and set a good example so that they could all be sealed to us for time and all eternity and now they would be sealed to their husbands and children.
The ceremony was wonderful and just listening to the sealer brought back my memories from when Paul and I had been there 31 years ago. After the ceromony we changed clothes and headed outside to meet the new husband and wife. Pictures were taken for about an hour and then we went to the Lion house for lunch. On the way home it started to get dark clouds in the sky and I started to worry about the weather for our outside reception.
We went over to Bennetts at 3:00 and set up all the deocorations, it started to sprinkle a little but soon stopped. We went home changed and met back over at 5:00 for pictures and then it started at 6:30. They had a wonderful turnout and everything looked beautiful. We held off the rain until the last five minutes and then it only rained long enough to send all the guests home. Kailie and Alex left around 9:00 and we got everyone to help clean up and was home by 10:00.
It was such a beautiful day that I can hardly wait to see all the pictures.
It's hard to believe that my baby girl is married and gone now..The years have surely flown by to quickly. I guess now we get to enjoy all the upcoming years of having fun with our grandkids and children.
