We can hardly believe that it has already been a year since that very special day in the Salt Lake Temple when Claire and Jesse were sealed for time and all eternity as husband and wife! Even though the weather was less than spring-like (drizzly rain and in the 40s), there was a warm glow about the newlyweds, and sunshine in all of our hearts. It was especially wonderful to have all of our children together once again. We got some great family pictures for the first time in ten years. And what a difference ten years makes in the lives of our children--everyone is really growing up! After the sealing and pictures on the temple grounds (the rain let up while we were outside taking pictures and began again when we went back inside), we went back to Jesse's parents house to get ready for the reception. It stayed chilly and rainy, but Joan and Rick had outside space heaters to put on the patio and around the tent, which kept us from turning into icicles! The weather didn't deter any of the festivities and we were all jubilant in celebrating Claire and Jesse's wedding. The food, thanks to Joan and all her friends, was fabulous. John made the wedding cakes--a rich chocolate with pudding frosting topped with strawberries! Before the reception was over, the clouds blew away and the sun came out, blessing Claire and Jesse as they drove off to begin their honeymoon. We love you, Claire and Jesse, and wish you eons of happy anniversaries to come!
