Ben's Wedding




The night before the wedding most of the bride's family stayed at Crystal Inn. Many out of town family members of the groom had accommodations at the Spring Hill Suites. Candace called and said Brooklyn wanted to see Grandma so we went to the hotel to visit. As we arrived, Marilyn was checking in. Robin, Heidi and Jennifer had already checked in with their families. Ron, Jodie and Ben came over and then Holly and BJ. We kept adding more chairs to the circle. There were probably 35 of us. Many of the kids went swimming. Ben was very cool, calm, and collected on the eve of his marriage.







Ben and Ally were scheduled for a 9:15 a.m. ceremony in the Logan Temple on October 15th. Gary Allen was the sealer.

Ally was a beautiful bride. She was in our YSA ward at USU so we knew her before Ben did! Ally is a 2 year convert to the church and is the only one in her family to join. That made it a little difficult for her and for her parents and relatives as well. I thought everything turned out great. It was a very enjoyable day but I wish I could have visited with everyone!
