The Big Day!

Well, you can imagine our shock and surprise when Adam's dad announced that he was getting remarried just 6 short months after Adam's mom passed away. Adam would have sworn on a bible that his dad would have never dated again, let alone get remarried. The family went through every emotion imaginable trying to deal with it all but in the end it all came down to the fact that dad had found happiness again, and so we were happy that he was happy. His bride to be is darling. She is actually in our ward AND our next door neighbor. Her daughter Kami is also my 2nd councelor in young Women's. So now my 2nd councelor is going to be my step sister in law, her daughter Rylee and one of my cute mia maids will be my niece and her other daughter Hallee, who is Gentry's best little friend will now be her cousin...never a dull moment in the Peterson House.

During their month long courtship, we had all been able to meet Marilee, but since most of her children live out of town we didn't get the chance to meet them until the day before the wedding. The night before the big day, dad and Marilee asked ALL of us kids and grandkids to come to the church and eat pizza, meet each other, set up and visit, we all had a good time and seemed to mesh pretty well together.

Marilee, Kami and scott putting the finishing touches on the candle stands.

Here's me getting some direction from the couple to be.

The grandkids did great at meeting each other. Before long they were all playing with their new cousins like they'd known each other all their lives.


The big day!
