Deep In The Heart - Day 3

The big day! Sam and Teresa's Wedding!

We woke up to a very rainy day. Now, one might expect after reading useless fact #2, that I would be happy to be in Texas and have it raining. But this was just not a good day for rain. However, we decided to make the most of it. There really was no other alternative. We had Bart's famous Breakfast Burritos and we all sat around the table talking until my mom said, "Does anyone think it's strange that we are all sitting here in our pajamas like we have nothing to do and we are about to have to be at the Temple for a wedding?" We took that as our cue to go and ready ourselves.

Sam and Teresa were sealed for time and all eternity in the Dallas Texas Temple. Here they are outside the Temple with the kids.

After leaving the temple we all went to Amigos for lunch.

That night was the reception. It was beautiful. Here's Coren and Gordon and a few of my kiddos.

Can you tell she's excited for this day to be done and over? Poor Bart and Farrah. Their anniversary was kinda skipped over as they were hosting the lot of us at their house and making wedding decorations and such.

It was a great day. A beautiful reception. A happy new Bride and Groom. I am glad we were able to be there. The only sad part was that we had 2 people missing that day. My dad, although I'm sure he was there. And my sister Kristy and her family. Kristy was supposed to come but she was snowed in at the Moscow airport for a few days and couldn't make it. We missed her terribly.
