James and Tammy are married



This is our son James and new daughter-in-law Tammy just after they walked out of the San Diego California Temple (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) where they were married for time and eternity.  After several days of rain and flooding, the clouds opened up for a few hours and the sun shone down on them as they got a few pictures.

Wednesday, December 22, the night before the wedding, my mom helped us hot a dinner for them for our families.  We rented a clubhouse.  My mom made enchiladas, and we had a Mexican wedding menu.  Afterwards Tammy and James were on the hotseat (near the fire :) ) as they told the story of how they met and dated.  It was a great evening. 

Midway through Erika, Tyler and Julia arrived.  We were so happy to see them because they had car trouble in Utah, were stranded almost 2 days in a big storm, and eventually were able to get a rental car and drive to California (starting out in Idaho) just in time for the festivities.




James and Tammy both looked so beautiful and happy at the temple.  After pictures they went with the photographer for more pictures at the beach.
That evening was a reception for them in Vista, California.  Here they danced the first dance.  Tammy is from Fallbrook--ironically where my mother and her husband Craig live, as well some cousins and an aunt and uncle--so it was nice to also have some of our family there.  In addition my brother Vic and aunt Margie  came down from Northern California.
They were sent off with a bang!  They stayed at the beach for their honeymoon for a few nights--close enough that we could still celebrate the holidays with them.

The title of your blog "Learning to get along" is invaluable advice and something we should all apply and remember!
