Wedding bells and birthday candles

Our trip to La Grande for Cherise and Kiel's wedding was very fun and memorable.
Cherise has a nice little garden this year. They plan to expand next year.
Her lemon huckleberry scones were amazing!
Fresh apricots warmed by the sun... yummy!
Goofing around at the rehearsal.

Pastor Josh performed the ceremony. He did a wonderful job.
Gary and Ted sang and played... beautifully.
Cherise and Harlan.
"With this ring..."
My favorite portrait.
The wedding party.
We appreciate all of the people that came so far. Some drove over and back the same day. Gary and Chris... thank you for coming and sharing this special day with us.
After clean up, Hayden is ready for a toga party.
The G. boys were pretty much wiped out by all of the festivities.
Today Hayden turned 14. It was a big weekend for Cherise and her 4th.
Happy Birthday Hayden! The celebration will continue.

What beautiful pics! Thanks for posting so quickly for those of us who weren't able to be there, but wish we could have! She looked so beautiful!
Also, what does the comment mean "Cherise and her 4th"?

Robin, each of our 4 older kids have a counterpart in the 4 younger kids... Rylan/Krystle, Joylynn/Courtney, Cherise/Hayden and Alyssa/Cameron. We have noticed similarities in these 4ths. It is a large family phenomenon.

Oh, and you're welcome. It was my pleasure to look through all of the photos to put up the blog.
