The Celebration Of Paul & Melissa As One

We were thrilled to get to help celebrate the union of friends, Melissa & Paul. These two are inspiring in how they live life, and share their passions together; such as running, photography, and their love of the outdoors, for some. Their ceremony was a private moment up in the mountains, with only their kids & parents, and the preacher. I loved the thought of the peacefulness of it all, and the fact Melissa didn't once ever seem stressed about any of the planning. Why do we always make SUCH a big deal & not just keep it simple sometimes? This seemed to fit them perfectly! And I don't take it personally that I couldn't be there, since I still got to be part of the fabulous party after! :} 

Lissa telling us about the magical day

Paul, the proud husband

Elise, Schelleigh & Dan comfort his daughter from her fall on the treadmill. Ouch! :(

Everyone enjoying the party! (and the punch!! :})

Despite the fight for no "wedding traditions" allowed, they still had to at least cut the cake!

Which then became a room of laughter with their silliness

She thought she was home free without the cake shoved in her face; but, he came back with more :}

Grandma Cheryl serves it up to the new official step sisters (and you'd think they were all blood related as they look a lot a like. The funny thing though is they are all blondies, and Melissa & Paul are dark haired!)

Grandpa Tom accidentally got his fingers stuck in the frosting during the removing of the top layer :}

Sweet Lil Ri-Ri...how pretty she, and her sisters, looked! (they just never stopped long enough to pose for me! :}

Brenna, the big sister. I think Paul's in trouble with all this estrogen! He's way out-numbered in this house!! :}

Good to see Cheryl & Tom again after officially moving for good to St. George

So, this was funny. The guys dared Dylan into eating this small little pepper (and after grabbing a handful, we reminded him he won't want more than 1 :})

Ohhhhhh, I think he's felling the burn now! :}

"Help, my mouth is on fire!!" :}

Well, that was sure a busy; but, fun filled day! This pretty much says it all. Just glad we could make it to all the fun activities of the day, even a little bit of time with your friends & loved ones, is better than no time!
