Austin and Jessica were married August 13, 2016 in the Boise Idaho LDS Temple. My father married them. He is a sealer in the temple. His health and mental awareness has been poor, but through much prayers and fasting, he was able to perform the ceremony and did an amazing job.
August 13 happens to be Austin's Hill Grandparent's anniversary. Pretty cool that they share that day.
We took Austin's best men with us and we all stayed in adjoining hotel rooms. Austin had Alex as his bestman, and his groomsmen were his friends Erik, Ryan and Tyler. They were wonderful at helping that day with the reception and luncheon. The ceremony started at 11 am. It was so gorgeous. Jay's family came from Texas and Tennessee and my family came from Idaho. We took pictures after the ceremony and then we headed to a local church where Jay and I had a luncheon catered for the event. My brother did a great ring exchange for those who could not go inside the temple. Three of Austin's teachers from his time at American Heritage even made the drive.
Later that evening we had the reception. It was so fun. Lots of dancing, games, visiting and delicious cupcakes and ice cream with lots of toppings! The send off was so fun. We said good bye with big sparklers and the kids had fun decorating the car. They spent their honeymoon in Lake Tahoe, thanks to the Peck grandparents.
Jessica and our family, plus the groomsmen cleaned up the reception. Afterward, we headed to our hotel for pizza and relaxation in the hot tub.
It was such a great day. It was very emotional to watch our sweet boy, get married and leave our nest for good. We are so grateful he found such a sweet girl that loves him so much. It was so tender to have my dad marry them. He was so fragile and my siblings and I sat on the edge of our chairs just in case he fell. He was wonderful though. My dad and Austin have a very sweet relationship and it was such a blessing he was able to marry him.
Here our a few pictures from that day. We had an open house at our house a week later. Pics of that to follow.
