dad and his sister

tim and his wedding partner, brianna

he was so sweet with her - holding her hand as they walked from place to place for pictures - helping her know what to do.

she asked him to dance in this pic!

steph and her mommy!

It was a great wedding with a fun reception!

We really enjoyed our weekend. Thanks Stefanie & Justin for helping out with the photography.

The temple ceremony was certainly one to remember - I was crying before I even entered the sealing room! The whole room lost it when Steph reached up to wipe Matt's tears! They are a perfect couple and we are so excited to have Matt join the family! He is just what Stephi deserves!
