The gang is all here and all are asking when will the party begin...soon.
While we are waiting outside the Logan Temple, Doug Teeples was busy snapping pictures of all who came to help us celebrate a wedding. What a great day!

Telare poises for a picture, but one has to wonder is the big smile because she is happy to be here or is it because she is a senior this year. It also looks as if we have Jenae in the back looking hard to get a first glimpse of the bride and groom.

Robin and Chris are probably remembering how it was for them...a little over a year ago.

La Denea and I are excited because we just finished putting the finally touches on Lorie and we are still feeling the special spirit of the temple sealing we just witnessed. It was beautiful.

One of the highlights of Lorie's wedding is that I got to spend time with my best friend, my sister Cheryl. I miss her and wish we lived closer. I guess Cheryl will just have to move here. Thank you Bill for bring her up and being a wonderful, fun person. I love you both.

Karen and Jeff Roberts, Lorie's cousins from Idaho made the long trip to be here and it was great to see them.

Another generation of cousins, Britney Teeples and Beleza Terrill. They live a distance from each other but are best friends when they get to spend some summer time together.

Yes that is David and
Tiare all the way from Texas and you are right they are expecting in January. Yes it is a baby they are expecting.

Jesse and Frances smile big for a picture moment. A side note, France and Dee Doney just got there mission call to Sidney Australia and will leave in Dec. That is where Riley served his mission.

What a cute family...We have Gabe, Dianne, Alyx and Sierra(Gabes Daughter) and somewhere else, probably playing with Ryan is Gabes son, Ternin(not sure of the spelling).

And as our very speical guest Helen Terrill, Jim's mother. What a treat to have her there in the temple with us.

There were many more family and friends present but like the rest of us that day, you probably want to get on to seeing the bride and groom.

The making of a bride...Our home was very busy and very full with all the family arriving for Lorie's and Riley's wedding. Those coming late found only air mattresses and floor space. With all this excitement, Robin remembering her big day not to long ago, announced to all in the house that the morning of the wedding there would be certain areas off limits to all but the bride to be, the hairdressers (Robin, La Denea, and Jesse) and the brides MOM (me). The way she made this announcement none dare to argue or press their luck.

Behold the master piece! Lorie looked like a bride and her hair was gorgeous and so was she, inside and out.

Are we ready for a wedding? You betcha!!!

She left this home as Misses Lorie Jane Terrill for the last time...

Lorie had no idea what lay ahead of her...hence the blindfold, headphone and very loud music! Her family had put a celebration together at the local bowling alley and Lorie and Riley were the guests of honor, but they did not know that. Her brother Jesse and her nephew Landy put her in a car and then drove all over to confuse her and that she was. Her other brother Douglas and her brother in law Chris had Riley as a project to confuse, but it was harder because he knows this area very well.
Lorie's sisters, Robin and La Denea and her sister in law Jenae went a head to decorate and prepare for the moment Lorie and Riley realize what had been planned for them.

After being decorated and some what embarrassed, Riley and Lorie posed for a picutre moment and then got into the fun of the evening.
The evening was a success and there was much laughing and having great fun.
