This picture makes me so very
HAPPY!!
It truly expresses every moment that day and the day before.
IT WAS ALL SO PERFECT!!
Over the years, I have had many days filled with anxiety over this day.
Will she choose the right person? Will he have a good family? Will he be kind to her?
I am pleased to say YES to every question.
She married into an amazing family. They love her as is she was their own.
Jake is so good to her and so patient.
They are so happy together and it makes my heart so happy
for them both to have found one another.
Jake is so sweet to Miss Ashlynn. I first knew I loved
Jake for Alyssa by how sweet he was to Ashlynn.
He always makes sure to acknowledge her and make her feel special.
He knows Ashlynn has had a hard time with her sister getting married and leaving home and he goes out of his way to make it so she is happy about this step in her sister's life.
It's adorable.
I love how happy everyone is for them in this picture.
It brought overwhelming joy to all of us how many people showed
up to support this beautiful new couple.
What a PERFECT way to start a new life together, knowing so many are cheering for you.

I love how in so many pictures Jake is
just staring at Alyssa with so much admiration.
How adorable are all these little boys checking out the new bride:).
The handsome groomsmen.
I think JD became emotional more times this
weekend than he has in the last 22 years of marriage.
I love how in this picture everything is being done to
keep the bride warm and dry.
That is thanks mostly to Alyssa's new mother in law.
She is amazing and took care of every detail--including heaters to keep the bride warm.
Right before we thought we would all freeze, Elder Phippen called in to say hello to the new Bride and Groom. I am so happy Riley received permission to call.
This was such a fabulous moment.
It made a perfect day that much more perfect!!
July 21st 1995 JD and I were married in the Idaho Falls Temple.
The years went so fast, it feels like it was yesterday.
How are we bringing our daughter to be married at the same temple???

I am not sure what I thought my first daughters
wedding day would feel like, but it was a very JOYFUL day.

I absolutely love the new addition you have brought to our family.
I love the family Alyssa was blessed to become part of.
They joined her name with his and call her JaLyssa.
I felt blessed as a mom from day one by how wonderful Jakes family was to Alyssa.
I fell in LOVE with Jakes family
when I went over to visit right before the wedding.
They had all the stocking hanging on the wall.
One had Alyssas name in it and it matched all the others:).
They had it specially crouched to match the rest of the families.
That sealed the deal...I LOVE THIS FAMILY!!!
