Jared and Cate's Wedding

On June 21, Jared and Cate got married in the Las Vegas Temple.  It was a beautiful day in many ways.  Jared was grinning from ear to ear the entire day and it was so good to see them realize their dream.

The Las Vegas temple is very pretty.  Scott and I had never been there before so it was fun to see what it was like.

Here are some shots of the wedding party, family and friends outside the temple:

Great shot of father and son. So proud.

He loves his sisters!

After the temple, we had a wonderful luncheon at Macaroni Grill.  There were 82 of us there and we kept those servers hopping!  It was a great time to chat with family and friends that we hadn't seen in a while.

Then on to the reception.  Here are a few highlights:

This is Scott's brother Kevin and his family hanging out waiting for the festivities to begin. We are so glad Kevin and Scott's sister, Julie, and her family could all come.

Jared and Cate both wanted donuts instead of a traditional wedding cake.  It was a really fun idea and so delicious!  I'm not sure where they ordered the donuts from but they were the best I have ever tasted.  After they cut the cake (at the very top) they announced that the donuts were up for grabs.  I wish I had thought to take a picture of the swarm of kids and adults alike that literally ran up to the table to grab their favorite kind.  Oh yeah, I couldn't take a picture because I was in the middle of the swarm, anxious to get a cookies and cream donut before they disappeared!  Please don't hold it against me.  I couldn't resist. Yum!

There is my cookies and cream donut in the middle of the picture. It was just as heavenly as it looks! And there is Camden who waited all evening to get his donut! We are both in heaven.

Here they are actually cutting the cake.

 

Camden and Great Grandma had the first dance of the evening. 

First dance as husband and wife.

And they're off to Newport Beach!

We are so happy for you Jared and Cate!  We can't wait to see what wonderful things life has in store for you!!
