Time spent in St. George

We spent from Sunday night to Friday morning in St. George last week. What a beautiful town! We enjoyed time at Snow Canyon, time with Octavia's family (who were such gracious hosts!), we had "girls day" (coffee, brunch, shopping & nails) and the wedding rehearsal...here are some of my favorite pics!

More wedding pics!

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Steve Allen Rose!!!

The wedding was absolutely beautiful! The ceremony was held on a cliff overlooking Snow Canyon, with an amazing backdrop! The weather was perfect and Steve Allen and Octavia looked like a fairytale bride and groom...I've posted a few pictures and will add more as I go through them. Emmaline had the privilege of being their flower girl and did great! She felt shy as soon as everyone turned around to look at her, but with a little coaxing started to walk and throw her petals. Lyla was there, standing about half way down the aisle, so I told her to just walk to Lyla and then walk to Uncle Steve...She walked to Lyla and looked so relieved to have made it and just started showing Lyla the petals! I got to join her for the rest of the walk to the front! Emmaline walked down the aisle to an instrumental bluegrass arrangement of "To make you feel my love" and Octavia walked down to the traditional " Bridal Chorus" bluegrass style! The wedding was followed that evening by a beautiful reception at Octavia's parents home. There they had a bluegrass band that provided hours of entertainment! The fairytale day ended with the lighting of 39 floating lanterns drifting into the sky... Congratulations Steve and Octavia!!!

Valley of Fire...

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at Valley of Fire State Park, on the way to St.George, UT (where the wedding will be) I just love the changing scenery..! Here are some pics...
