AJ and Brekke's Wedding

We had a dinner on Friday night at Madeline's Steak House. The food was good (steak, salmon, feticcine). Reed was a good mc. Brekke has a great family. Her mom has MS, but was doing fine those two days. They showed a video of the two of them and they included pictures of Cherie. Brekke's mom paid tribute to her and said what a wonderful woman she must have been to have raised such great children. She was a great mom. That brought tears to many eyes.

Brekke's only brother and friend sang a song to them. He has a great country wester voice. I could have listened to him all night.

We all had a great time. It was very

crowded and hot, but we had great
company. Jeff never showed and so
we ate his food. (Katie was suppose to invite her friend, but she didn't so we just pretended he was there. They just kept bringing him drinks and his food.)

On Friday June 1st at 1:00 they were married in the Salt Lake Temple. Their sealer, Bro. Woods, did a wonderful job. Jaci got to sit in the Mom's chair and Cheri's grandma sat in the grandma chair. That was a special tribute to Cheri. AJ was teary eyed during the ceremony and I know that Cheri was there with him. AJ was her favorite child and I know AJ missed having her there. She would have approved of his choice for a wife. Brekke is a wonderful girl. Those two are laughing and smiling all the time. The new thing in wedding dresses is to wear a temple dress for the sealing and then to wear your wedding dress out of the temple with a colored sash to match your wedding colors. Brekke was very pretty. Her colors were teal, lime green, and black.

Grandpa was not feeling very well, but stood up to give them a hug as soon as they came out of the temple. The three girls are Jaci's and Camilla's. They just followed the married couple around. They had a reception at "The Woods" that night. It was very pretty. They cut the cake and danced towards the end. The grandkids just had a ball dancing.

It was a fun evening for all. They are going to Florida for their honeymoon, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Searle. They seem very happy and are excited to begin a new life together. AJ is working as a construction manager for a big construction company and maybe might join his father-in-laws contruction management crew. We shall see.
