Jenna and Josh's Marriage Celebration - Part 1

Our granddaughter Jenna Ireland married Josh Pugmire on August 27, 2021.  Family and friends came for the celebration held in our backyard in Spanish Fork. 

We smile when we think about the two weddings for granddaughters in our backyard last summer during Covid (Megan and Amanda) and now this summer celebrating two more weddings here for two more granddaughters (Maren and Jenna).  We feel fortunate to be part of these happy times shared with family and friends.

Following are some of my photos shared here for Jenna and Josh's beginning of their eternal life story.

The flower girls were very cute and preferred playing
with the pretty flower petals.

Groomsmen and Bridesmaids
(I didn't want to interfere with Tyler taking the official
photos, and the angle of the sun wasn't good
for the groomsmen in this photo
nor for the photo below with Jenna and her sisters.)

Returning to Spanish Fork after the luncheon in Provo,

the next thing on the agenda was getting ready for the
reception held in our backyard that evening.
Tables with floral arrangements were prepared.

The day before the wedding, Karry Lontine (center)
spent many hours
preparing fresh flower corsages and floral arrangements
for the wedding day.

while Kristine (right) was also busy with reception preparations.
