An Irish Wedding!

So I thought I would post a little more about my son's wedding. We had it at the Historic Provo Courthouse which was quite beautiful. They had a room upstairs where we had the wedding. There was quite a few guests there and I was fortunate to have my Mom come up from California to be there with us. Hopefully my Dad was there in spirit. He would have loved to see Jeph get married he always was telling me that Jeph was such a good looking guy, (I think he just couldn't believe some fortunate young lady hadn't snatched him up already). Anyway, here's a picture of Mom & Me and one of My Sweet husband & I.

Soon the wedding began - Here is Jeph in his full Irish regalia. When he was planning his wedding the most important thing for him (besides getting married) was that he could wear his kilt. You see, he is very much into everything that is Irish. I don't know where or when the fascination hit him, but I remember when he came home from his mission he had this drive or obsession if you will, to study and know all about Ireland and it's history and folklore and everything Celtic. It has been a good thing for him, because it has led him in directions in his life that have brought him to this point.


Next came the flower girl and the ring bearer. These were Hannah's children and they were so cute. The boys also wore kilts and her daughter, Tavia looked like a princess.


Finally the moment arrived - Hannah came down the aisle with her oldest son escorting her. She was so beautiful and Her son Cameron was so dashing. I believe Jeph and Hannah are a striking couple and I am so happy for them.

They had a "Handfasting" Ceremony which is an ancient celtic tradition. Her father married them with permission from a judge he was given the authority to bind them in marriage.


They all were so overwhelmed with emotion afterward that their dreams had finally come true. It was a wonderful day and we were so happy to be a part of it. I know Jeph is so happy to become part of Hannah's family and to a part of her kids life. He loves them with all his heart and that is so wonderful to see. It makes me happy to see him so happy!
