Twice in One Month!

Allie came home AGAIN!  But this time it wasn’t’ really to see us or even to celebrate her birthday.  She came home for a good friend’s ring ceremony.

We picked her up from the airport. . . all rested up?  Not too likely.  She had been busy having too many adventures.  She slept the whole way. . . well not home. . .

We dropped her off at her friend’s house (where they were anxiously awaiting her arrival)

while we headed to a tri-ward Pioneer Day celebration.  We stayed long enough to eat and visit a little while.

Then it was back to her good friend’s childhood home.  This is when we got to see the transformation!  (notice the ribbon that cause me so much grief)

Then it was time for the ceremony. . . did I mention that Paul was officiating?  (Isn’t he cute!)

Here she comes!!!!  (we are talking about Allie here)

A super cute ring bearer and flower girl . . it was a little windy (I know, what a surprise) and he was quite concerned about EVERYTHING. . . adorable!

The bride and her dad

Notice the ring bearer below. . . so cute!

It is darn hard to take photos when you are sitting in the back row and you aren’t quite as tall as everyone else.  So you end up with photos like this:  (good, right?)

The process out was a crack up. . .they dance their way out.  Fun stuff!

Alyson and Ryan are a great couple!  They were married the day before Jennifer in the Newport Beach Temple.  Since his family could not attend, they had a ring ceremony several months later.
