The wedding festivities started on Thursday evening - we had a lovely family dinner in the President's Room of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. The setting was beautiful. Here is Emma posing with past Presidents of the Church :)

Aaron is marrying into a family full of women! Good luck!
On Saturday afternoon we gathered at the Draper, Utah temple for the big event :) My sweet sister Sarah watched after my 4 crazies during the sealing. Props to her!! She even had to change a poopy diaper and help a certain Jake find a bathroom for a potty emergency. After the sealing we waited outside for the bride and groom to appear...
Yay! Here they come! Mr and Mrs Szymanski!
Lots of hugging...
Emma was SO excited to get to hold Stefani's dress while she walked. Stef was like a real life princess in the eyes of my girls... they were in awe of her all day...
Aaron was the bow tie expert... he helped out several guys get theirs tied appropriately :)
That evening Stefani's family hosted a beautiful reception at Sundance in Provo Canyon. We got there early so the photographer could take some pictures...
The kids all got their own flowers... they were sooo happy!
Dads and Grandpas dancing with the kids :)
Stefani was really fun dancing with the kids...
Old family friends that my parents met when I was a wee babe back in Pennsylvania...
These little dudes were kept entertained stomping ants...
Congratulations Aaron and Stefani! We love you!!
Okay. That settles it! I AM going on a diet now. Oh brother!!

Also, you got some pics I hadn't seen yet.
It was a great day, and it's very rare to get families and friends all in one place like that.
This will always be something special to remember.
