Marissa and Zack were married September 3, 2010. These are some photos taken on my little camera. The "professional" photos will appear soon. Stay posted!



Bridal photo shoot. I forgot to get my camera out until the very end.

Endowment day at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple

Zack's brother Caleb (on the left) entered the MTC the next day.

Family wedding dinner hosted by Zack's parents. Delicious!

The big day finally arrived. Not a cloud in the sky. Pictures at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.

The wedding reception was in our back yard. Marissa always said she wanted it here. We prayed for good weather, and our prayers were answered. The tempterature was perfect, the decorations were beautiful, the flower gardens survived the hail storm five days before, and our wonderful family and friends OVERWHELMED us with their love and support on Labor Day Weekend.

Family photos before the reception

The cake arrived and was magically assembled before our eyes.

The boquet was beautiful.

The chocolate fountains arrived.

The last-minute scramble in my kitchen.

Family members wait for the guests to arrive.

One of my kitchen helpers. My ward friends are wonderful.

The guests begin to arrive.

Overhead lights were strung from the porch to the trees at the back of the yard.

Candles were hung in the tree over Marissa and Zack's heads.

Cutting the cake. The sun was just setting.

It was Marissa's idea to show the video on a screen on the side of our shed. It worked beautifully. Zack's dad handled the technology. Whew!

I got there too late to catch the boquet throwing.

These cute girls from the neighborhood cleared tables for us. All the kitchen help wore red, orange, or yellow aprons.

Marissa and Zack went in the house to change clothes to leave on their honeymoon. She asked me to come help her get out of her wedding dress. I said, "Uh, I think your husband can handle it."

"Oh, yeah. I'm married now!"

I guess old habits die hard.


The send off. About a hundred people lined up on the driveway and blew bubbles.
