Thursday August 19th was Doug's brother Scottie's wedding. It was a crazy week with a wedding, and a family reunion all rolled into four days! Scottie became engaged to Erica about five weeks before the wedding, so there was a lot to do very quickly. They were married in the SLC temple and while we were waiting for them to come out it began to down pour. Some of Scottie's friends got caught out in the rain out by the temple. So Doug decided to go out and rescue them! Armed with three umbrellas he ran out so they could all come back inside and get dry. Too bad Doug wasn't so lucky, he was soaked and so was his jacket.We kept hoping it would slow or stop, but it never did. So we ran out and took one family picture and that was it!
Later that night was a wedding dinner with dancing. Here are all of the grandchildren in Doug's family with Scottie and Erica. Erica and Scottie planed the whole night. So we had Thia food for dinner and a mariachi e band for entertainment. The rest of the pictures are after the dinner with lots of dancing and fun.
This is Alyssa with her cousin Siena, they had so much fun together. They have so much in common, and Alyssa was so excited for her to visit. She lives in NC so they don't get to see each other often.
Below is Alyssa dancing with her uncle Scottie during the money dance. It is a tradition in Erica's culture to pin money to the bride or groom and then dance with them until someone else cuts in. I think this is a great tradition and lots of fun! I think people in Utah should do this instead of having a receiving line, it would be much more fun!
Here I am dancing with Blake, this was the one and only dance we could get him to do. All he wanted to do was play with his boy cousins. He looks horrified having to touch me! Thanks a lot Blake!
