The Wedding

On Friday morning, June 22, Katy and I arrived at Santiago's exactly at 11:00 A.M. The guests had been arriving since 10:30 and as we walked up the hill to the upper lawn and down the aisle, everyone was in place. Clara and Lizzie slowly scattered rose petals in our path. Katy and I had a hard time holding back to their pace, but we eventually arrived front and center where I passed Katy to Daniel. Jeff Ringer, our nephew as well as our bishop, performed the ceremony; it was personal, spiritual, and touching. Jeff did better than any sealer I have ever witnessed in the temple. It was wonderful.
