Just Married (sorta)
Sunday, 24. May 2009, 20:19:08
I couldn't help but post some of these fantastic pictures from Jonathan's sister, Ashley's wedding.
This is some of us waiting around for the bride and groom to come out of the temple. The men behind me are (from left to right): Jonathan's brother Tyson, Jonathan's dad, and Jonathan's bro-in-law Andrew. Plus cousin Elijah. And me and the children, of course. It was drizzly that day, so waiting around outside wasn't the greatest, although the company sure made it more fun.
Jonathan's sister, Ashley, and new husband Larsen. Isn't Ashley's dress fantastic? A friend of Larsen's family made it for Ashley, per Ashley's design suggestions. Very vintage. Very classy.
Aren't these two the cutest in their wedding outfits? I had to include both pictures, because one was better of Paul, and the other better of Anna. Of course. Why can't you ever have a picture where ALL children look their best?
This was at the reception that night. A candy bar. With all sorts of delectables to choose from. All the candies were various shades of peach, to match the wedding colors (peach and grey). Each guest got to choose a variety of candies to take home with them in their mini peach Chinese take-out box. Needless to say, we went back to get multiple take-out boxes for the kids. And then we plundered the leftover loot after the reception was over, too. What a brilliant idea!
And of course, handsome Jonathan posing with his brother Golden, bro-in-law Andrew, and new bro-in-law Larsen. Sharp looking bunch, huh? Plus, Jonathan's wearing his first new suit since the one he bought for OUR wedding, almost 7 years ago.
Sadly to report, I have no family pictures to show. We were all so busy in the festivities of the day that we didn't get to take any pictures of Jonathan's whole family. I'm REALLY hoping to get some the photographer took, though.
Oh: and for those who are interested in my due date? It's Sept. 14. Which translates to Oct. 1st, pretty much, since my body likes to hang onto these babies for as long as possible. And our #3 is a boy. We're so thrilled.

WOO HOO!!!!! A new little gorgeous fillmore. So excited. You look stunning Mels. I wanna see more.

Great pics, guys!
Our number #2 is a boy also and we may just have the same due date. This means that both of our boys could potentially be mission companions, which would be the best thing ever!
ps--one of my best friends from high school is moving up to Rochester with her husband next year for his anaesthesia (sp?) residency. I'm so jealous that two of our fave families will be in one town and we will miss the party!! Does this mean the Lloyds need to take a road trip to Rochester?

Okay, so glad to know you are still alive and didn't die in the Rochester winter. The pictures are great. Love your darling hair and the wedding dress. SO BEAUTIFUL and unique. Congrats on the little boy. They are just too much fun. I think Duncan can do no wrong. Gotta love those boys.

We are anticipating the completion of the Fillmore child triumvirate. I, for one, welcome my future Fillmore overlords.
That is a fantastic dress.

Congrats on the Boy! Let's hope for the end of Sept and not Oct 1, arggg. :-) You look fabulous in that photo of you all waiting out side the temple. I do love her dress! I could never pull anything like that off but am a little jealous of people who can. Glad to see an update and I can't believe how big your kidos are! Time goes to fast!

Your children are beautiful! I enjoyed looking at your blog and catching up with your family news. Congrats on the boy!

Melanie, in the first pic you look like the (ultra-hot) calm in the middle of a happy wedding storm.
. . . WHAT?! I just read the last comment - you're having a boy? Congratu-freakin-lations! :)

Melanie! You are always so beautiful! I wish you and Meghan still lived here. Our babies would all be about the same age. Also, how did Jonathan's parents name one child "Golden" and the other "Jonathan"? Poor Jonathan! At least they didn't name him "Silver" or "Bronze".

Hi! I found your blog while looking for the Harrows blog and so glad I did. It's been a long time. I was wondering if you still had a recipe that you gave me 3 or 4 years ago. I think they were called 7-layer bars?? My e-mail is ann8214@hotmail.com. Thanks.

Now, Melanie, it it Unacceptable that you haven't posted for so long! What about baby boy? What about life? What about you? I hope all is well. Keep us posted - we love you and long to hear from you!
