I am told that the month of May brings flowers. That has been especially true for me, both physical flowers and blossoms of love and achievement. This month has been full of sweet, blossoming blessings.
On May 4th, I was blessed to witness with my daughter, Debi, and her family the eternal marriage of her daughter, Randi. It was an event that brought many tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. Randi made vows that are eternal in nature and listened intently to promises made to her if she remains faithful to those vows. I witnessed the little girl I have always known and loved become Mrs. Travis Thompson in the Holy Mt. Timpanogas Temple in American Fork, Utah. Oh what a lovely bride she was.
There were so many friends and family members present to wish the happy couple well on their journey that will take them to an amazing future. I lost count of just how many were in attendance. Travis's family alone would fill a stadium! He is the youngest of 13 children. Randi's family, though not as large, were happy to be there and partake of this beautiful event.
It was an amazing photo-shoot day! Pictures were being taken at all angles and in all nooks and crannies and in all lights. If I could, I would post every photo I have in my files, but I think I will save them for albums, and post only the highlights. Needless to say, the subjects of the photos were literally glowing.
It was the end of the ceremony, but not the end of the day, by any means. A gorgeous reception follows (in my next blog writing!). Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Travis & Randi Thompson. May God bless this union, and may you walk with Him always in your lives. I love you, Randi, and I am sure I will come to love Travis just as much. You make this Grandmother so very proud...and your Grandfather (in Heaven) is smiling, too.
