Once Upon a Time....

Once Upon a Time there was a cute little boy named Tanner, and a darling little girl named Natalie. They both were wonderful and grew and grew and grew. When they had grown long enough, they went into the world to find their own ways in life. One day, they met along the same path and their relationship grew and grew and grew. When it had grown long enough, they decided that they wanted to share their lives forever. Now they will grow and grow and grow and their happily ever after has just begun.

Tanner's turn to say a few words
YUM! 'nuff said
Wonderful food and beautiful atmosphere

Natalie and her sister Catherine wrote and published a book for Tanner. It was the story of their relationship in fairy tale form. Too CUTE!!!!!
Tan and Nat read it to us.

We had a very nice luncheon in the Palmyra Room (very appropriate since that's where we are from) of the Roof restaurant. (one floor below where we had the rehearsal dinner)





Andrew proposing a toast
Their theme was tandem bikes. Nat's family made a huge poster with quotes from famous (and not so famous) people regarding bikes. It was really unique.
In between the luncheon and the reception.....sleeping beauty fell asleep while eating some chocolate from the favors that they handed out at lunch.


At the reception....they apparently let any ol riff-raff in.





Our last day in Utah we had fun at the rec center. Here is Erin going off a diving board for the first time.
Way to go Ben
Dallin

Andrew was a bit more adventurous
The Great Dallin Rescue, starring Dallin "scared to death" Phillips with Ben and Andrew Phillips in a supporting roll. He climbed up but was petrified to move. It took about 20 minutes to get him down.
Well, that was a quick over view. Their reception was amazing but I didn't get to take any pictures. What a wonderful time we had!!! Congratulations Tanner and Natalie DeVinny!!!
