Reception pictures of the wedding couple

The reception was held at the Springville Musuem of Art.  It was a beautiful place and turned out to be just the right spot for the reception.  Thanks to Josh's family for choosing such a great venue and for putting on a wonderful reception.  Once again all the pictures shown here are from MP Photography except the one above of the museum.  It really was a great night and will have lots of memories not only for the married couple but for the rest of us that were there as well.  I'll start the reception pictures with posed ones of the wedding couple.

And here are a few  of candid pictures of just Josh and Megan.

"Unforgettable" reception highlight

A couple days before the wedding Megan and Josh came and ask me what song I would like to dance to when I had my father of the bride dance with Megan.  I looked at a list but had to choose "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole when I saw it was available.  It turned out to be one of the highlights for me at the reception.  It was fun to have a few minutes in the middle of everything to talk and have fun with Megan.  I don't recall what we discussed but the pictures indicate we were having fun.  There actually was one picture where Megan was staring at me with an alarmed look on her face but I am not putting that one in the post.  I wonder what was being said then?  At any rate it was lots of fun.  Of course the moment hopefully will not be forgotten.

I decided to put the version of the song by Natalie and Nat King Cole that has been done in recent years for your listening pleasure while you look at the rest of the pictures from that father/daughter dance.  I actually prefer the one by Natalie and Nat King Cole but it also is symbolic in a way as well since it is the father and daughter singing.  And by the way Josh and his mother were dancing too and looking like they were having an enjoyable time.   

Natalie and Nat King Cole: Unforgettable

It was a memorable and unforgettable moment for me!

Temple marriage--a family friendly place



Everyone we could corral after the wedding.

More pictures from Megan and Josh's wedding.  This time we include pictures taken at the temple with family and friends.  Once again all the pictures are taken by MP Photography.  Next week I'll be posting pictures from the reception.  We'll start with the posed pictures and then with the candid pictures outside the temple.

Megan and her sisters laughing of course, one of the things our family does best.

Megan and her bride's maids blowing kisses to me (you'd never catch groomsmen doing this).

I get a little tired of seeing so many pictures of newlyweds kissing and you
will notice that I haven't put many in my posts.  But this once we needed to prove that we can
still kiss as good as newlyweds!

Nate is a good kisser, giving Josh lessons.

Megan and Grandma.

Temple--I'm going there some day.

As children in the church they are instructed and even sing about when they will be able to go to the temple.  Megan fulfilled that desire to be married in the temple.  She had always enjoyed attending the temple and has really become a lover of the temple.  She often attends regularly to refresh and increase her learning from the temple.

She was married at the Provo temple last month and we have the pictures to remind us of the fantastic experience.  The pictures in this blog today of ones of just Megan and Josh at the temple and were all taken by MP Photography.

 

There is beauty all around

Megan's wedding pictures are in so I will develop a number of posts to show them off.  This post is entitled after a phrase from a hymn.  I chose this title because Megan was very beautiful with her wedding dress and so I will focus on pictures of her in this particular post.  Many people think of a wedding as the bride's big day.  Everything is made to her specifications, she chooses the colors and the details of decorations and so forth.  The groom is supposed to get there dressed appropriately but the bride is often considered the main character in this all important play.  In our religion the bride dominance thing isn't quite as pronounced.  Nevertheless I use that as justification to have mostly pictures of her today.
