Meet the Abbotts. (Actually when Ben and Rachel got married last week I suggested they pick her last name, Gianni, as the new family nomenclature.) After dating on and off over the course of four or five years they finally settled down. Ben is a high school friend of Katie's and is nearly 6 years Rachel's junior. It is nice to see true love prevail despite the odds. Soon they will head for Alaska where Rachel is doing a PhD and Ben will be the kept man of a sugar mama in the frozen north. Just kidding.One of the BEST parts of going to the weddings of friends of Kate and Liz is seeing all the old faces that would hang out in my living room until the wee hours of the morning. Look, Gabe and Nora in the same picture. I am a little embarrassed by how much I enjoy hanging out with the Orem High crowd. Really, I should just get my own friends.
Kate and Liz wowed the crowd with their take on Old Time and the small children were darling and photogenic.
There was just one little hick-up that is still causing us trouble at home. Xan turned down Zina's request for a spin on the dance floor and took off with this little blond number instead. (When Zina saw these pictures she stood right up, walked over to Xan, slapped him and said that she wasn't going to marry him any more. Love is a tricky thing, darlin'.)
Thanks for a lovely party and here's to a brood of your own. Best to snuggle for warmth in Alaska!
