MarGene and I drove down to meet with Laurie and Ann at a hotel for the night in Oregon. We spent our afternoon at the temple, shopping, and eating some yummy food. We were stuffed rocks by the end of the night as we sat and roasted in the hot tub. We didn't last long before we turned in for the night. We played a little game of "would you rather" and I'll just say we learned some "interesting" things about each other. It was all good fun.
The next morning we hit the gym, got ourselves ready for the wedding and all packed, had another yummy breakfast and headed back to the temple for the wedding. We were a bit early and had some time to kill but it just gave us more time to chat. It was really neat to see some old friends. There were only a few of us but it made it all the more special.
The sealing was beautiful and I was so happy to get the chance to attend. It brings back lots of memories from my own wedding. I loved seeing how comfortable and in love they are. I was filled with joy for them as they start out this new life together. Kehaulani is one of the nicest people I have met and I couldn't be more happy for her. The reception was equally at special as we gathered outside at a country club. We were on the golf course in a tented area and we had a bunch of rain. The weather didn't stop any of us one bit from more good eats and socializing. We even got out on the dance floor a few times.

I really had a great time. I'm thankful for Jeff and Ken and their willingness to stay behind with the kids. It made the trip a bit less hectic and much more enjoyable. I'm glad for the reminder of sealings and how special it is to be married in the temple. I hope Kehaulani and Branden have many wonderful and happy years together. I know that in the 12 years of my own marriage things have been so happy and sometimes things have been difficult but having a partner to get through life together makes it all worth it.
