Just Married


My nephew, Jonathan (Craig's oldest and only son), married Heather Elise Sampson last Friday in the Houston, Texas LDS temple. I attended the sealing ceremony that morning where they were married "for time and all eternity"; it was a simple and beautiful wedding. Afterwards, photographs of the wedding party, family, and friends were taken on the temple grounds. For the wedding luncheon, Craig treated us all to a huge meal at Pappasito's Cantina. That evening, a lovely reception was held in their honor at the Avalon on the lakefront. The weather was ideal--warm with a light breeze. It was a beautiful day.
Welcome to the family, Heather!

Delicious food and so much of it!
