Weddings?! I love weddings..drinks all around!

This summer was full of wedding-events as we celebrated Alyssa and Tyler's nuptials. We had the pre-ception in Idaho Falls the end of July and the big shindig in Coeur d'alene in mid-August.  The ceremony at the Spokane Temple was short and sweet (and very reminiscent of our wedding there 4 years ago...especially since the same gentleman officiated...crazy how time flies.) The party then moved to the Ratelles backyard with good food, some dancing, and a lovely evening of pink, purple and blue.

Sh....shut your mouth.

Joshua was a BIG help in cleaning up. JK -- he was a good helper during the day...

Thanks Benny...you're a huge help. 

Daddy! I met a man in Rome! And he’s handsome, and brilliant, and we’re getting married!

We went to Tawni Griffits's wedding this weekend to Ryan Piggot in lovely Logan and had a blast just hanging out with family, eating some delish food, and generally reminiscing about bodas in general (some more than others...I picked up a bit of sarcasm when Mike remarked...it was....great....yeah...a great day.)

Men.

No stomach for the hours of prepping and planning that go into a flawlesslly orchestrated event with color schemes, wardrobe, music, lighting, you name it.

Here are some pics of us at the various festivities -- enjoy!







Thanks for a great weekend Griffitts!

Stonefall covered in snow - it was the most I have ever seen up there over the break.


San Diego Temple

Lindsay and I in front of the temple waiting for Melanie and Dan.

Just the window display in a cute little boutique on Del Mar. It made me think of my Mom.

Me, Ali and Lindz at Mel and Dan's wedding (why we were in San Diego).


My sisters and I out on the mountain at Schweitzer.


Trey and Michael snowplowing the driveway after we couldn't make it up. We just love the driveway at Stonefall.

All dressed up for the Omniture Holiday Party at the Grand America. Thanks for the dress Mom!
