Chris and Megan's Wedding!

So on Saturday, November 8th, Megan and Chris were married for eternity in the Cardston Temple. We are so happy for both of them. Chris is a super nice guy and they make a really cute couple. We were happy to be apart of their wedding.

I should back up to Friday, we all got together to help decorate at the church. We got there after lunch and helped set everything up. The kids were a huge help and they had fun helping too. Then they ran around and ended up in time out by Grandpa! Ha ha! Then they went outside and ran around! We had supper there too. Emily brought us pizza. So that worked out perfect. It was a tiring afternoon but we all had fun too!

Really pretty sunset, that we could see from the church!

Then Saturday morning we had to be at the Temple by 9:30. So we got up early and were able to get there on time. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and special. Loved being able to be apart of it. Brought tears to my eyes. I'm so happy for Megan and Chris.

Here's our cute family ready for the wedding!!

Then we went to go get the kids. Richard actually stayed and went back to Magrath with his dad. They were working on the house. The Family dinner wasn't till 4pm. So that way, he was able to get some work done.

The kids and I went back to the Temple and we were there when Chris and Megan came out. The kids were excited to go give them a hug and be in some pictures. It was a little chilly out, but we were able to get some pictures taken. Megan looked absolutely gorgeous and so happy! Chris looked pretty happy too!

After pictures Chris and Megan went with the photographer to Waterton to get more pictures. We stayed behind. I took the kids to Subway with Cody, Stacey and their families. It was a fun lunch!! I love being able to hang out with my brothers and sisters.

Then we drove out to our new house. Stacey and Steve and Cody and Em haven't seen it yet. So that was fun to show them around. I'm getting super excited about our house. Richard was out there working with his dad, Justin and Locke. Actually we didn't see Richard, I learned later that he was rushing around trying to fix a leak in our sistern. Yay, not good. It totally explains, his grumpiness!!

It was then time for the Family dinner. Away we went. I kept phoning Richard, because he was suppose to meet us there so we could get a family picture with Shelley and Travis. It was nice to get a family picture with EVERYONE in it. We have a pretty big family. Love it!!

Kids racing around in front of the church!

Our crazy family picture with everyone!!! This is all our crazy faces!! ha ha!

Richard and DJ!! So he andsome!

Then it was time for dinner. Yeah!!! The family dinner was just for immediate family. So it wasn't huge. It was the perfect size. The decorations looked amazing. Megan knew what she was doing!! LOL!! The couple looked amazing and very happy! Dad welcomed everyone and we had opening prayer and then it was time to eat.

Megan and Chris had a card to explain the "Kissing Game". If we wanted them to kiss then instead of clinging glasses we had to take a paper out of a treasure box and do whatever it says on it. The kids had a blast with it. There were some really funny ones! Of course Steve and Stacey had to do their running into each others arms kiss. Ha ha, so funny! It was a lot of fun.

All these cute girls were dancing to a song on the Ipad!! So cute!

Then here's the kiss!

Stacey running to Steve!

Jumping into Steve's arms.

Going in for the kiss!

Here comes the bride! ha ha!

And the kiss!

The girls had to come back up and dance again! They thought it was hilarious!

Grandpa even joined in on the dancing!

Instead of a program, each family did a little something to welcome the bride or groom into the family. David was the spokes person for our family. He did a very good job! He said something about each sibling and then gave a few things to Chris to welcome him into the family. Then Chris' sisters did a little song and dance for Megan. Very cute.

Grandpa Pitcher welcoming Chris to the family too!

Oh we also had some very yummy cupcakes. The kids were patiently waiting for when they could eat the cupcakes. They looked delicious and they were. Tiffani and Jill made and decorated the cupcakes. They did a great job!

Such a cute display of the cupcakes!

Eating cupcakes and icecream!

It was the perfect day! Megan and Chris left for the honeymoon just after 6pm. So we stayed behind to help clean up. I stayed to the bitter end. Because my husband accidently took off with my keys in his pocket. It was a crazy day for Richard. As I mentioned later, he was trying to fix a leak (which I had no idea was going on). Anyways, I was calling and calling him and he wasn't answering. He finally answered and said can't talk and hung up. Yup, I was a little ticked off. I was stuck in Raymond and he wasn't talking. Ha ha. I texted him that I was stuck there and he had my keys. Anyways, it was a huge mix up and he felt so bad. Then I felt bad, when I figured out what was going on. Man, talk about craziness!
