Mani's, Pedi's and lunch.

Friday morning we were able to go get Manicure's and Pedicure's with the girls. It was fun and relaxing. Then we went to the Olive Garden for lunch and Amy and Darbye met us there. In the picture are: Heather (Ryan's sister), Sam (Heather's Son), Kathy, Tawni, Kylie (Heather's daughter), Amy, Emy, Meagan, Sandy, Jessie and Darbye. Aunt Tawni with Coen and Atlas!



Bachelorette Party!

The night before the wedding we all went to the Temple with Tawni for Endowements. Amy stayed back with all the kids so that Brent could go. Thanks Amy! We sure love you!! Thanks for risking your life to come to the wedding. (On the way home after the wedding we hit the most aweful snowstorm you can imagine. We were lucky to get through in one piece.)

The old married couples.....although I think that Brad and Jessie still qualify as newlyweds. You can't tell but Jessie is looks so cute and preganant with the newest Griffitts baby.
The girls all crowded on Darbye's bed. We all came back to the room and 'toasted' Tawni with Sparkling Cider and then we each told a Tawni story. We laughed and cried! Jessie, Meagan, Darbye, Tawni, Sandy, Amy and Alyssa.


Tawni and her Daddy.



Tawni's last night as a single girl. She shared a bed with Alyssa. Just like when they were little.





The Wedding Day!!!

Here is the Cute couple after the wedding. We were so lucky that the weather was good for us this day. The next day we had a major snowstorm!! Tawni was so beautful! What a wonderful experience. We shared many tears of happiness. We really are thrilled for you both!


Ryan and his buddies!



The Luncheon at Hamilton's

After the wedding we had family and friends join us for a luncheon at Hamilton's Restaraunt that Russ and Kathy provided for. It was such a beautiful place for a luncheon and the food was phenomenal. We also showed a slideshow of Tawni and Ryan from baby age on up to their growing up years, dating and engagement. I love my Tawni and Ryan!

Our friends the Gerrards all made it for the day. We love you guys so much! Sorry we didn't get to hang out and talk very much! We will see you this summer for Priest Lake and the Triathalons!

Darbye, Lindsay, Riley and Ava.


Our Family and Friends at the Luncheon

Here is our cute Amy with Tytan at the luncheon. The food was good.

This was perfect for Meagan and Brent. The kids couldn't get out. The luncheon took quite a while. The natives get a little restless.....but they were awesome!

The Scoffield's were able to make it down for the Luncheon. They have been so great to Tawni and we were really happy that they were there.


Ryan, Kathy and Russ.

The Reception

Tawni and Ryan cutting the cake. I did a terrible job of making sure that candid pictures were taken at the reception. The Riter Mansion was sooooo beautiful and the Centerpieces and all the flowers were incredibly beautiful. I hope that the photographer got some pictures of these things. We had a dessert buffet of flambed' fruit that was really good. People got to watch it be prepared and pick apples or bananas. The Riter Mansion also has a beautiful fireplace in this room that we decorated with lots of candles and pictures. We had a candy buffet too.

Here is Atlas and Coen eating their candy.

Here are all the cousins. We were so lucky to have so many family members at the wedding. Thanks for coming! We love you!!! Tytan, Alyssa, Aunt Amy, Tyler, Darbye, Meagan, Jenna (with baby Miley), Brad, Michael, Tawni, Brittany, Ryan, Brad, Trey (who counts as a cousin), Jessie and Mary (Trey's girlfriend).


After the Wedding

After the wedding we had a big slumber party....minus Tawni and Ryan. It was so fun to hang out with family and friends. Kelli, Jenna and Brad came and hung out until pretty late as well as Jeremy Frint and his wife Kelsey. Jeremy is like one of our kids and we love Kelsey. Michael, Brittany, Alyssa, Jessie and Brad all stayed. Brittany had no clothes so went to Old Navy to find jammies. We were so glad that they decided to stay with us. Everyone was so nice to drive from various locations to spend the day with us! We love you all!!!!!
