Jason & Kenna’s Wedding

The second weekend in August, Charlotte, Brooklyn and I headed down to St. George for Jason and Kenna's wedding. The boys were at Young Men's camp and Emily wanted to work and go to some cross country parties.  Russell stayed home with them while I took the two youngest with me.  This was a fun trip to St. George and it was good to see family and celebrate Jason's wedding.

The wedding was beautiful.  It was the perfect day in St. George.  It was hot but that is to be expected.  Jason and Kenna were married in the St. George Temple in the East Sealing Room. (The best one!)  It was an awesome sealing.  The sealer explained the endowment ordinance in such a way that I had never thought of before.  It was a way that made it make more sense to me.  I was definitely glad I was able to attend and learn.

After the wedding, we all stood around while they took pictures. At noon-ish, I picked up the kids from the Hughes' and headed over to Santa Clara for the luncheon.  Cafe Rio salads are the best!  After eating, we got in the truck and headed up to Cedar Mountain where the ring ceremony and wedding reception was held.

This campsite is Kenna's favorite place to camp and it was such a beautiful place. It was very unconventional but it totally fit Jason and Kenna's personalities.  They had decorated everything with logs, pine boughs, and cones.  I actually loved it!  If I could do it again, I would do something like this and forget tradition.  

We had hot dogs and doughnuts for food and their wedding cake was actually a Dutch oven berry cobbler.  We all danced in the dirt and grass and just enjoyed being in the woods.

Charlotte and Brooklyn loved running around the campsite exploring.  They found this fun swing made out of a log and spent most of the time swinging.  We also hiked around in the woods until it was time to go.

Jason and Kenna were sent off in festive style with ribbon wands, bubbles, and lots of cheering.  This was such a fun, laid back wedding.  I was glad I was able to come down and join in the celebration.  Congratulations Jason and Kenna!
