Erika and Tyler are Married

Erika and Tyler were married in the Twin Falls, Idaho temple (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) on Saturday, August 7, 2010.

Our family (David, myself, Julia and Andrea) flew to Gooding, Idaho on Wednesday. James, who was at Kara and Luke's house in Denver for 10 days after finishing his summer semester at BYU-Idaho,  drove to Idaho on Thursday with them. My parents also came--from Utah and California. The only immediate family member we were missing was Daniel--who is in Nevada on his mission.

On Thursday we  helped Tylers' family with set up for the reception.

Friday many in our family attended the Twin Falls temple with Erika, who was attending for the first time, and in preparation for the wedding the next day.

Then Friday night we had a barbecue outside at Tyler's house--complete with fireworks.

Tyler and Erika answered questions from the group that Kara had prepared--seeing how well their answers matched.

Saturday morning was the wedding at the temple.


April, a family friend kindly offered her back yard for the reception. It was very pretty with a fountain, covered deck, lights, decorated tables, room for dancing, etc.

I was able to visit with three of my good friends from Emmett/Boise, Idaho who I've known since high school, and who were also college roommates.





It was a beautiful ceremony--seeing them wed for time and all eternity. The whole day was a great celebration. We were all almost as excited as Tyler.
