This is my blog so I can write what I want, right? It was a little disappointing that Travis is now my second returned missionary cousin in the last few months who has chosen to not get married in the temple. I don't understand the choice and I wish it was different, but I do sincerely wish them the best of luck in their marriage. Marriage is not an easy thing by any means. In fact, some days it actually can be pretty sucky and I can't imagine getting through it successfully without the blessings of the temple gluing a family together. That is my statement and I'm sticking to it.
Anyway, my Aunt Karen tried to make the wedding experience as nice as she possibly could and she did an excellent job. Everything from the table decorations to the name cards and party favors were very nice and I'm sure she put a lot of effort into it all. The ceremony was on the first floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and then there was a nice luncheon afterwards on the 9th floor.
Here are some lovely photos of the day!

My dad's Aunt Deloris and Uncle Bob were in attendance at the wedding. They are the last of the older generation in the Petersen Family. Deloris is my Grandpa Petersen's sister. She had two sons with her husband before Bob. One of them died just out of high school and the other one is Russ (Peterson with an "on"). He is an artist who lives in NYC and I met him one other time that I can recall. It was at my Great Grandma Petersen's funeral when I was in 9th grade. He was visiting Bob and Deloris for Christmas this year and decided to attend the wedding as well.
