Weddings and Prom

 This is going to be an amazing season of weddings for our extended family and friends.  In March, Tony and I joined Mom and Dad and Lori and Blake, to attend Luke and Livi's wedding in the Payson temple.  This was a unique experience for us because Luke likes to wear makeup and tiaras.  He has pink hair and is an avid magician.   I loved the reality that the temple was a welcoming and not shaming place for him,  and the ceremony was lovely.  We especially enjoyed our time together on the drive and our dinner in Payson at Yummy Thai.

Last week I went with Mom and Dad Rippy to Alpine to celebrate Ellie and Evan's wedding at a beautiful dinner that Tyler and Chelsea hosted.  It was as delicious as it was picture perfect and the feeling among the family was tender.  They will be married in Portugal in May.  

This weekend was Sam's Prom.  On Monday night we went to search for prom clothes and prayers were answered when we found the perfect pants and tie.  A big group went together and did all the fun things that kids should do: eat out, play at the lake, paint canvases, go to the dance,  treat his date well.  I hope it built his confidence and will be a happy high school memory.
