For all those who missed Ellen and Stoddard's wedding, I thought I would blog a few of the pictures we have. Actually, we haven't gotten any of the pics from the photographer yet. These are some that Abby took inbetween running after her neices and her own little girls. I was too busy freaking out to take any pictures. The wedding ceremony took place in the Rexburg Idaho Temple and was absolutely wonderful. The Sealer is a friend of our family and presented a great message for El and Stoddard and the rest of us. Stoddard's mother had a fantastic salad luncheon prepared at their church house. If any of you need a great luncheon idea this is the one to do. Even the little nieces agreed it was great. After the lunch Paul and I rushed home and started setting up the reception. It was hot and the wind picked up. We couldn't keep the tablecloths on the tables, the centerpieces fell over many times and it made thing in general a mess. The photographer came, no one was ready. The bride had to have her hair and makeup redone, the mother of the bride was rushing around getting the refreshments packed to the basement-ready for the wonderful ladies of her book club who took over serving for her so she could take a cold shower and then discovered that her dress needed pressing, the mother of the groom had made the cake and was getting it finished and set up, the nieces finally got to wear their dresses but were worried that they wouldn't get to play outside in them and were leading a revolt, the father of the bride looked terrific in his freshly cleaned suit and the groom just smiled. Then....the wind quit, the cake was lit, the parents lined up and the bride and groom smiled on. It turned out to be a lovely evening with lots of friends and family. And when the sun set we had fireworks! Wish you could have been with us but we understand. Love the Tews

It was a truly beautiful day! Mom & Dad you put on a great party. What a way to celebrate a job well done raising us. Now that I'm embarking on the journey of parenthood my appreciation for this crowing moment in your life is heightened. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Note: NO, you can't 'die now' that your all your children have graduated from college and gotten married. We need you now more than ever. I just watered to point out the goal you've achieved.
Wow! What an event. Sorry that we missed it. We've had a crazy couple of weeks. We are happy for Ellen and Stoddard and wish them every happiness. Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures!
I agree 100% with Sarah! It was a great party. I'm so glad we were able to be there. And no, we haven't had the baby yet.
From this Wilson sister and Aunt...I'm so proud of all of you! Mert and Paul raised their kids well and even most times they helped us raise our babies!
