Mom' niece, Lisa Brinton, Aunt Marilyn's daughter, got married on Friday. She married Joseph Keller in the Salt Lake Temple.
They met on LDS Singles. It is great the many ways people find each other. They are a cute couple and are so happy.
Mom suggested they have their reception in our backyard. They came over and liked the set up and the work began.
Mom began to work on the garden, pulling weeds, having old hedges removed, planting more flowers, getting the waterfall going and bringing in more potted plants. The Brintons arranged for all the food using the downstairs kitchen as home base. They rented chairs, called in the desert caters, hung lights and decorated the back yard.
The guests came in the lower back yard gate and past the reception line that you see in the upper photo. The lower garden was the site of the main food, chicken salad sandwiches, fruit, vegtables and dip, and cheese and crackers.
On the upper level, there were catered desserts, wedding cake and special wedding punch. It was a neat reception if I do say so. Anywhere from 200 - 300 guests came and except for the little kids wanting to see the lion in my office and the crocodile and leopard downstairs, it was all in the backyard.
I thought we were finished with wedding reception but maybe this was also a dry run for any grand kid who may want to have a reception at Oma and Opa's. Mom and Marilyn did a great job!
Love, Mom and Dad

Looks great! better than when we stayed there with all the toys in the back.
Mom is good at that kind of stuff and I think she enjoys too!
Wow, you are very brave to extend the invitation to all of your grandkids. :) It looks great!
Another generation of weddings! It was fun to see Mom in her 'party' mode!
