We had the most splendid reason to travel to Utah at the end of May: somehow my crazy brother convinced this beautiful girl to marry him.
The day was in bloom; the temple reflected the radiance of the brides that stood on the steps, smiling for the photographers; the children didn't wander; the family was together. It was good for this old married woman to see the immense happiness that was all over Whitney's face that day. It was as if she couldn't believe her luck in getting to marry Alan, and if she stopped to breathe she might miss some part of it all. It was good to see the tears that spring from such joy. It was good to remember the day I felt like that.
We celebrated with them at their reception in Bountiful. Caleb looked so handsome in his suit; the girls were darling in their matching flower girl dresses and curled hair; Ben was all smiles. We even managed to go the whole night without getting something of a red nature all over the clothes.
After dancing the night away on the rooftops, and sending Alan and Whitney off in an explosion of bubbles, we carried the sleepy childen home, and I went to bed feeling happy to have been a part of it all.
Welcome to the family, Whitney!

OH Tam, that is GLORIOUS and wonderful. I love being a part of such happy events - great pictures :)
I loved the twirling flower girls. While people would come up and talk to Alan and I, I would watch anna spin in circles till she would get dizzy and fall over. Then stand up and do it again. It will be one of those memories I will never forget! Oh and my favorite picture you took was when the girls are dancing along side Alan and me.
Such cute pictures! Love the available tags on the brothers... so funny.
