The WEDDING

So this was for sure the wedding of the year! Todd's little brother Kelly and darling Karlie Poulsen got married on August 18, 2010. The festivities began on tuesday the 17th at Maddox Lodge for the wedding dinner which was delicious! We laughed at stories told, Michelle told a funny poem she had written and we got to watch their amazing wedding video that had been completed up to this point. We got a quick snapshot after the dinner, but not quick enough because Brad had already bailed. . . so here is the rest of us.

Michelle, Eric, Lexie, Karlie, Kelly, Sherie, Scott, Me, and Toddy
Here is Stockton and Ryder waiting outside the temple for the newlyweds

Can you tell they are in LOVE?!?
