A Beautiful Wedding!

April 27th was a beautiful day!  

Ben and Melissa were Married!!

We were so grateful and humbled by the support of so many family and friends.

While my talented Sister Linda and Niece Ally were helping me decorate... Grama and Grampa Dixon came to the Reception venue and brought us some flowers.  As they were leaving I reminded Grampa..."Watch your step!"... he didn't see the step and fell..it was very frightening.  Thank goodness James was there too... he knew not to try to move him and had me call 911... they came and transported him to American Fork Hospital.  We had to continue to prepare for the wedding, but we were all so worried about Grampa.  It was a blessing that 4 of James siblings were here for the wedding and took over with all that was needed with Grama and Grampa.  Jana even got Grama back in time for the wedding! We received the news that Grampa broke his hip.... not good.  He had surgery the next day and has made steady progress.  He is currently in a rehab center in American Fork and is being well cared for.  Grama is staying with us... and we have never had so much laundry and ironing done... I thought I did alot of ironing... but the boys have had their t-shirts ironed and even pillow cases... (I told them not to get used to that!)  We are grateful for his recovery and for the wonderful care he has received.

Grampa apologized to Ben and Melissa for "ruining the wedding... but at least you have a story to tell the rest of your lives!"

Other than the excitment with Grampa Dixon... it was a PERFECT day!  Beautiful in every way!

We are so pleased to add Melissa to our family!

 Part of the family... We missed Tyler and his family... he had a Law School Final that day... and Cami and Asa were in St. Louis... (Brad made a whirlwind cross country drive and immediate turn around flight back from North Carolina for the Wedding... we were so grateful he could be here with us!)

 She is a stunning Bride!

 She got him good...

They spent their honeymoon driving across the country... After stops in Nebraska, St. Louis and a fun night and day in Nashville they are in North Carolina while Ben works with Brad... we miss them already!
