Chrystal and Chris's Wedding

Well the big day had arrived and we were so excited. I think Chrystal and Chris were the calmest people in the family. I know that Tim and I were very emotional the day of the wedding, okay Tim was a big baby. There were many tears of joy shed that day. It all started at the breakfast when Tim read the poem he wrote for them. Here is the poem.

As you begin your journey together in love,

Remember where it began many years ago.

You left your Father from above,

To begin your life, learn and grow.

Your parents loved and cared for you,

Teaching you right from wrong.

You learned and grew,

And found your special song.

The song of peace and joy,

A song of love and life.

You began a little girl and a little boy,

Now you continue as husband and wife.

Now take this journey together in love,

Watching those who have raised you thus far.

Walking in the plan of our Father above,

Building a life, a future, a home with heart.

Chris and Chrystal we give you this day,

Our love and devotion.

To help you walk uprightly in love,

With much heartfelt emotion.

You are no longer our little ones to protect,

But our big ones to watch and adore.

With much love and caring we expect,

Grandchildren to fill our homes, a couple or more.

May you enjoy your journey and finish your Qwest,

Becoming one as you take each other this day.

We love you and wish you the best,

For Time and Eternity is all we can say.

The ceremony at the temple was awesome and Chrystal was so beautiful smiling across the alter at Chris. It was great to see so many there.

The reception was full of laughter, food and good freinds and family getting to know each other better. Thanks for all those who came to make that day so special for Chrystal and us.

There were so many pictures taken that it's hard to choose which ones to put on the blog. But here are a few of my favorite ones.

Guess who caught the bouquet??!!?? It was so funny none of the girls really wanted to caught it because they all had boyfriends. So no one really reached out to get it but it fell right into Beth's hands and she had no choice, more about that later.

Then of course the Daddy - Daughter Dance.
