We were all so excited to finally see Clint and Haley get married!
Haley and Clint wanted an outdoor wedding and they decided Fish Lake would be a great place for the wedding ceremony. They had their wedding at the pavilion at Twin Ponds by the lake. The whole ceremony was really nice and well done. It was really cool to see Clint so happy and Haley so happy also. It took Clint a while to find the right girl, and he did it.
The guy that married them was really funny and gave them some great advice before performing the wedding.
And with a kiss the union was complete! Clint was now a married man!
Next we all got together for lots of family pictures. The pictures were really cool because Fish Lake was in the back ground.
Here are pictures of all of our siblings. I tried to hide my big belly but for some reason they kept making me go in front... We also got one of everyone in our family including spouses and grand kids. Lets just say there are a lot of people in this picture.
I love this picture of my dad. One of the rare moments of him smiling for a picture.
Here is the wedding party. The bridesmaids and groomsmen and of course the beautiful bride.
After pictures, we all had a nice luncheon of Dutch Oven potatoes, chicken, and cobbler. The Bulow's, in my parents ward, were awesome enough to cook for over 100 people and we helped serve. It was the perfect lunch to have on the mountain.
When everything was cleaned up, we headed to St. George for the wedding reception that night. The reception was held at the Staheli Barn. Haley's family did an awesome job of decorating it like a hunting lodge complete with deer and elk sheds mixed with flowers. It turned out really nice.
For refreshments, they had S'mores! They set out marshmallows, graham crackers, and different chocolate bars for people to make their own S'mores. Then there was a table of Sterno heat fuel cans to cook the marshmallows. It was really fun and the kids loved it! They also got so sticky! Along with the S'mores, there was a drink table of different flavors of lemonade. My favorite lemonade was the watermelon lemonade and the best S'mores were the ones with Reese's peanut butter cups and the ones with York Peppermint Patties. Yum!!
We all had a good time hanging out at the reception. It was nice to be around family just having fun. Here are a few random pictures of the night.
The bride and groom shared a dance together before the night was over as well as the traditional dance with their parents.
Watching the cake "smash" was funny too because first they couldn't figure out how to cut the cake then they smashed it in each others face. After that, Lacie and Tami held Clint while Haley got him some more! We all laughed so hard!
All of Clint's friends had too much fun decorating their car. Since Clint was the last of his friend's to get married, all of his friends took the things Clint did to their wedding cars and did all of those tricks to Clint's car! Lets just say it was a little over done... But funny!
We had a great time at the wedding and we are so excited for Clint and Haley.
Unfortunately, Russell had to work the next day so we had to drive home late that night. Actually we made really good time though because the kids were all asleep. We actually made it home in 5 1/2 hours! A record for sure.
Before the wedding, we enjoyed a couple of relaxing days camping at Fish Lake. Along with cleaning up the wedding site to get it ready, we spent a lot of time fishing and playing with cousins. Here we are at Gate's Lake.
Russell is such a good sport! The kids kept getting snags on the logs near the bank so Russell would wade out and get them unhooked. He said the water was pretty cold which of course it was because it was new snow runoff!
Congratulations Clint and Haley!
