Ryan and Rondy's Wedding

Ryan married his sweetheart, Rondy, on December 29, 2009 in the Portland Oregon Temple. It was a pretty overcast day with no snow, at least when we went into the temple. The ceremony was beautiful, and when we came down to the waiting area Lydia responded with "It's snowing!!" Low and behold, there was snow. It made for most of the pictures being taken inside in the beautiful atrium. Fortunately they have it! :) We took a few cold pictures outside, and then headed off to dinner.

We had dinner at Olive Garden. It was a wonderful evening enjoying the beauty of the day and celebrating the wonderful event we had just had. They looked so happy! :) Afterwards, Ryan and Rondy headed off in the snow to their hotel. It was an eventful drive because traffic was AWFUL due to the snow; and what should have taken 45 minutes was 3 hours. Our drive to get to our hotel 3 miles away was 55 minutes, due to our inability to get the car out of the parking lot and up the slight hill, and having to back track and take a MUCH busier road. We made it safely back, but it was a little nerve racking. The girls slept through the ordeal, and with prayer we made it to our hotel.

Anyhow, on to the pictures of the wedding. These are only pictures from the temple and at dinner. The reception was a different day, and I'll post pictures of those later. Enjoy!

The happy couple! They are so sweet. Welcome to the family Rondy!

Ryan and Rondy with various people at the temple.

The top left are Rondy's parents, Ron and Betty. The top right is Rondy's sister and brother-in-law, Megan and Michael. Then my parents, and my mom's parents, and my beautiful mother.

These are all pictures of my siblings and their spouses.

These are all pictures of my girls. Lydia seemed to be pretty independent that day, and all Claire wanted was to be held. Or maybe we made her let us hold her so she wouldn't run away. I can't remember now! The picture of Claire with my grandma on the top right is of her pointing to the snow through the skylight in the atrium.


Congratulations Ryan and Rondy! We love you guys!
