We had a special occasion in our family a few weeks ago, on Friday March 11th Stephen's sister Rachel married Kodie Bennion in the Dallas Temple!It was a beautiful ceremony and just a gorgeous day! It was a bit windy but it was just a lovely weekend.
Our children looked BEAUTIFUL in dresses made by Grandma McKneely, and REAL pearls that are now carefully guarded by Mom. Sam and Matthew wore bow ties! Sam's wanted one for awhile and he loves it (even though it's pink and Stephen thinks it's a shot at his manhood!)What's more, this weekend was just full of family. Because we live in the area we were BLESSED (and I really mean that) to have our home just full of cousins and uncles and aunts. We just love spending time together--here are some of the kids waiting outside the temple for the happy couple! They had a great day and weekend and were so well behaved and danced the night away at the reception!
And I just have to share how excited our Lindsey was to have Kodie join our family. She knew very well that 1: Aunt Rachel and Uncle Kodie were going to be married in the Temple and that 2: then Kodie will become her UNCLE Kodie! I'll never forget at the family luncheon after the sealing taking Lindsey up to Kodie to give him a hug and call him "Uncle Kodie" and just smile--she was probably one of the most excited for this wedding.
