More wedding Pictures

I haven't had time to write about Alli and Brendon's wedding since they got married one month ago. Life hasn't slowed down much since then, so I haven't had time to blog. Thanks to LeeAnn we got a few pictures posted earlier, but no narrative. So here's just a quick recap of the wedding day.
Alli and Brendon got married in the Mesa Arizona Temple on February 28. Dave and I were there in the temple to witness this sacred ceremony as were many other family members and friends. After the ceremony we took pictures in front of the temple and on the temple grounds. We went to a wedding lunch later, hosted by Brendon's family. Then the reception was held that evening in our home (backyard actually.) The reception was from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. After it turned dark, all the twinkly lights bordering the yard and around the trees came on, lighting the backyard up. The pool lights were on, with the waterfall flowing, all together made a beautiful site. Dave's sister Karen and husband Russ catered the wedding for us. Karen made the beautiful wedding cake. Russ made and arranged all the beautiful and delicious food. Several friends helped in the kitchen. Thanks to everyone's help everything turned out great.

Here are a few pictures from the day.

Even the pool got some decorations, we had a string of bride and groom duckies going across the pool. (Sorry, you can only see the bride duck in this shot.)
