Bliss begins....Mt.Timpanogas temple
April 19, 2008
Not only were the sunflowers in her bouquet dazzling, their smiles were simply radiant. That day truly was a slice of heaven on earth. Brother Workman, prior to sealing, gave them some wise counsel. He sweetly cautioned: "Never speak an unkind word of the Lord's anointed, as an endowed member of the church you are the Lord's anointed. Always address each other in a noble manner; you are a king and a queen. Serve one another willingly and joyfully. If you must argue, only celestial arguments are acceptable. This type of argument allows you to insist on your spouse's choice or need to come above your own." The spirit was evident and many silently vowed to be a better spouse.
It was a windy day but the sun was shining and the sky was breathtaking with puffs of white wispy clouds.
We couldn't be happier for Navarre.
Women and their new shoes for the wedding.
Not to be out done by the women....
(Karon borrowed Sharon's suit for the wedding
.....simple advantages of being an identical twin.)
Grant is Sharon's middle child and is only
a few months younger than Navarre. He also
is a handsome clone of our brother, Jack.
Elle (17yrs.old, she's not really the same height as Steve-high heals are the secret),Steve,Lydia,Andy,Rosanne, Kristen(Rosanne and Andy's daughter)
Outside the temple the wind was fierce. Phillips family drove up from Visalia, Bryce came from BYU-Idaho.
What's a photo op without Navarre's famous stance-Superman in disguise.
Later that day, we had a marvelous reception
at Catherine's home ward in Pleasant Grove, Utah.
Three generations-Catherine with her father
and Kevin's parents.
Three generations-Catherine with her mother
and Brenda's parents.
We all sang Happy Birthday to Aunt Lydia,
she turned 61 on April 19th.
Brittney, Chad, and Noland attended the reception.
He looks just like his daddy. Kelsie was also in attendance
but we didn't get her picture.
Rosanne's daughter Kristen and granddaughter Amanda.
The following weekend an Open House was held in Visalia.
Andrew and Marie are the best siblings. They traveled from Utah to continue the celebration of their sister's wedding bliss. I was impressed with their willingness to give a lending hand.
I just loved their smiles.
Brenda's childhood friend came from North Hollywood. She also gave them free tickets to attend Disneyland on Monday. Navarre was so excited.
Aunt Sharon, Aunt Jana(1 year our senior), and me.
Clarissa and Damon have been married 5 years.
Their children Kaela (3 years) with Karon and
Steve with Ava (18 months)
Finally..... the night is coming to an end.
