Wedding update


Yes, I'm still here.  A lot has happened since my last blog update.

Probably the biggest thing was Alana and Luke's wedding on August 28th in Cardston.


Luke and Alana coming out of the temple.   Notice our friend Lynn peeking around the corner.  Lynn performed the marriage.



It was nice to have all the girls together.   Wish Mike and Brylie and Tyken could have been there too.

Grandpa and the girls before the wedding.   Angie was with Alana and Judy in the temple.


It was nice to have so many of Judy's family at the temple.

Meanwhile...outside the temple gates
Uncle Jim waiting

Earlier that morning
Jim provided a great service and helped me with my flower. 
 The puncture wounds have healed.

We all drove back to Calgary for the family dinner and reception.
  
It was a classy affair at the Country Club.

One of those events where I wonder which fork to use and which glass is mine.

I think they look happy.


Luke's dad is crazy (in a good way) and he had this idea that we should dance into the family dinner (like the wedding on the Office)
  


I ventured out of my comfort zone and joined in

 Luke's mom and dad dancing in.

Someone posted this dance on the internet but I'm not saying where.


  They had a wedding pie instead of a wedding cake. 





  Here they are cutting the pie.   
I love the expression on Luke's face.   
Interesting perspective as you can see Alana's face in the mirror. 

(Good thing they didn't have a wedding cheese ball - then this would be a picture of them cutting the cheese - just another one off my random thoughts that gives this blog its name).


 Judy and her mom and brothers and sisters - all but one and 1/2.   (1/2 because we only see half of Lou - Sorry about that Lou.   Its the best picture I had - I'm sure someone who reads my blog will have a picture with all of Lou.   If you do please email it to me and I'll replace this picture.)



I mentioned that it was a classy affair.  This is an ice sculpture that doubled as an ice cream bar.

The happy couple by another ice sculpture.  



It was a wonderful day.  

Congratulations Alana and Luke!

perhaps the funniest post I have ever read. I laughed out loud 4 or 5 times. Every caption is hilarious. That is one gorgeous daughter you have. I love her so much. Thanks for the great update.

You know that I laughed out loud about your "random thought"!

So were Mom and Dad just waiting for ANYONE to pick them up?

I loved the wedding picture overlooking the lake and the purposeful picture of Luke feeding Alana and capturing both expressions.
