Jordan and Lindsey's Wedding

Jordan and Lindsey were married on Thursday, April 18, 2013 in the Seattle Temple. It was such an amazing thing to be in the House of The Lord to witness the sealing of my son to his chosen wife. It was even better than I had imagined over the years. It makes me a bit glad that I have so many children. I will get to witness many more sealings!

We had a wedding luncheon (0 pictures) following the sealing and pictures. We held it at Lindsey's home ward building which was only a few minutes distance from the temple. My favorite part was watching two of Jordan's buddies help a couple of guys with a car issue who had pulled into the parking lot. They were in luck, because Tyler happened to have his tool chest in the back of his car and was able to help them. We tried to get them to come in out of the rain and have some food, but they weren't comfortable with that. We did take some food out to them. Jordan has some great friends, I was very impressed with all of them.  

Later that evening we attended the reception which was held at a yacht club. It had begun raining/drizzling while we took pictures at the temple and by the time of the reception it was quite rainy. Which was too bad because it would have been nice to use the outside areas for the reception. The reception was so nice and I feel bad that I didn't get to do much more than chase my little boys around. They were the entertainment of the day and night. Sigh. Oh, well. Lindsey's mom and family did a great job with the reception and it was very lovely. There were a lot of people there to support them and celebrate with them. I was thankful to have Grandma and Grandpa Welch and Aunt Nicole, Aunt Michele and Uncle Erin there to celebrate with us! 

We are so happy to have another daughter and so happy that they have found each other and made eternal covenants with each other and with Heavenly Father. Another 'forever family' has begun!

It was a hit with the kids! (and most of the adults too!)

Gearing up for that sugar high!!

A view of the reception. In the corner of the room to the left
of the open door you see was the Italian soda bar.

In the corner by the windows was the ice cream sundae bar.
They had lots of yummy options.
Her brothers and brother in law were the Ice cream and soda server guys!

The cake. The table had white lights under it and they surely intrigued James all night.
The whole set up was lovely.
Love the baby pictures of Jordan and Lindsey on the tables in the back.

The happy couple cutting the cake. 

First dance as a married couple. They are both stick people!

The sendoff! We all had little streamer rings to throw as they ran to their car.
Not exactly riding into the sunset but away they went.
