Dad and Tia's Wedding

Colby and I traveled down to St. George and then out to Orderville to participate in Dad and Tia's wedding. The reception and the ceremony were held at the park, we were panicking at about 4:00 PM while the rain came down. Brejden, you can see in the background, had no concerns and enjoyed it. Luckily, the rain stopped and it turned into a beautiful evening.

Tons of people helped out and assisted with, but, as usual, Kay and Sheri were incredible. Kay, with help from Andee, made seven salads and cut up tons of fresh fruit. Sheri made two cakes, one for Dad and one for Tia.
Tia's cake was gorgeous, Sheri never ceases to amaze me. Dad's cake, as you can see, was very inspired.
Sheri did it as a surprise, and boy were they! Dad and Tia were both pleased and tickled. The paint job on the side, courtesy of Dacia, matches Dad's boat perfectly.
The ceremony itself was beautiful. All of us children walked down the aisle first, Mily was a flower girl with Jaycee's help.
Brejden was the ring bearer and Josh, Tia's son, walked her down the aisle.

They wrote their own vows, which I know caused Dad a lot of stress. They were beautiful and the entire ceremony was perfect.
Dad, surprisingly, was nice during the cake cutting and feeding. (I think it was the thought of being cut-off before the Honeymoon had even started that kept him well behaved.)

The motley crew has gotten larger. Tia gained five children, two sons-in-law, one daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. Dad gained four children and a mother-in-law. This is the whole crew (sans Dad and Tia). Best Wishes to both!
