Well its official. Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Ben Gray

The wedding is over! We drove down Friday 8/10 for the wedding dinner. Delicious Cafe Kelly (Rio) and a roast of the happy couple later we attempted to go to bed so waking up early would be a happy thing. Well Kyla had other plans. She was up for 2 hours in the middle of the night so we went to bed around 3 and got up around 7. We got ready and headed out with Wendy and Terry to drive to Manti. The sealing was beautiful and I got all teary eyed because this girl, who for all intensive purposes has been my little sister since I was 16 and she was 12, was suddenly a beautiful young lady and changing absolutely everything by getting married. Not that it's a bad thing but everything is now different. Ben hugged me in the sealing room and promised me he'd take the best care of her. We took pictures at the temple for a long time and then drove back to the cabin. Kyla was forced to take a nap whether she wanted to or not and David and I were more then happy to take one ourselves before the reception. We woke up a little after we had planned on leaving so we threw everything together and David probably drove 60mph down the canyon while I fed Kyla in the back seat. We arrived right before the reception started so we were just fine. We laughed and mingled the whole reception. We got Allie back for helping with our car at our wedding by decorating the crap outta her car. Then we went back inside for the bouquet and garter toss. Funny story. Ben tossed the garter and Allie's cousin Jake and his friend were both pretty amped on catching this bad boy. As they wrestled a little bit for it Jake's friend ending up backing into the table with the cake. Jake flipped over the table like a freaking ninja and along with Ted's daughter Josie caught the cake before it hit the ground. Just a couple big hand dents but could have been so much worse. Haha Funniest part of the night. Well....it might be tied with when Ben and Allie saw their car. Either way I had such a fun time.

Yes, that's baby powder.

Hahahahaha this picture is so amazing. So Jessica and I were joking about our shirts all weekend long. We said we looked like we were going to a 70's prom. So this is Jacob and Jessica's prom picture. Haha I love it so much.

Ben and Allie,
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you little lovebirds. Remember my advice to always make each other better. Ben, you better take care of my Allie but you better stand up to her too. Push her to be a better person. Allie, don't walk all over Ben. Be nice to him because its hard being married to a diabetic. (ask David any day of the week) Have conversations when you're both in sound minds (not tired, blood sugar high, or hungry) and remember that the best part is getting over the fight so work towards that instead of keeping the argument going. Its not who is right but what is right. Always remember why you got married and enjoy it. Laugh all the time and have fun date nights. Life is stressful but keep the fun in your marriage. Come and babysit your niece all the time ;] and have fun date nights with me and David. Love you both!
