Seth's Wedding

Yesterday, Saturday, we went to Seth and Jamie's wedding in the Logan Temple. It was beautiful, of course, as all Temple weddings are. Then we had a buffet lunch at a restaurant in Logan. After that, since it was going to be 4 1/2 hours before the reception started, we decided to go home, take a nap, eat dinner, and drive back to Logan for the reception. Here are some pictures we took outside of the Temple.

John is waiting for his mission call. His papers went in 2 weeks ago, so it should be any day! Becky is going to BYU-Ricks and is a junior in advertising.







Seth and Jamie

What a cute couple! Jamie is the 2nd youngest of 6 girls--no boys! Her Dad was happy that he only has one more wedding to go!

The reception was at the American West Heritage Center near Logan, and it would have been really nice if a couple of things hadn't gone wrong. First of all, when we got to the parking lot, which is sort of in the middle of a big field, all the lights were off, so it was very dark, and we weren't sure we were in the right place. There was a building next to the parking lot, but it was also dark, with no lights. There were several cars in the parking lot, and we sat there for at least 15 minutes watching people drive up, park, get out of their cars, walk around in the dark trying to figure out where to go, and then get back in their cars. Finally, as one group of people went by our car, I asked them if they were here for the reception, too. They said yes, and someone had told them that we had to walk over a ways, and wait for a horse drawn wagon to come pick us up! Nothing had been said about that at the luncheon, and we weren't exactly dressed for a buggy ride while it was 40 degrees outside. So we waited in the dark with some other people for awhile, and then we all decided to try walking. Just then, the wagon and horses arrived, and we piled in. Luckily, there were blankets in the wagon to put over your legs which helped a little, and the ride only lasted a few minutes. So once we got to the building, it was nice. Then of course we had to catch the wagon to ride back to the parking lot. They finally got the lights turned on at the parking lot. On the wagon ride back, the horses got spooked, and took off running, and the driver had to work real hard to get them to slow down and walk. Had he failed, the wagon would have probably tipped, we would have all been crushed under the wagon, and I wouldn't be writing my blog! Needless to say, I was glad to get back to the car safe and sound, and to turn the heater on!
