| This was the coolest "Just Married" car decorating job ever! |
Besides all the graduation festivities, we were able to enjoy a really nice lunch at Magelby's in Provo to celebrate Allison and Ted's wedding. The event was mainly for Ted's family and friends, but even with just the immediate Syphi Family invited, we filled up at least half the room. Of course there was more singing and roasting of both Allison and Ted, but the highlight of the event for me was meeting Lavell Edwards! And he was smiling! Probably because he is not coaching anymore...Here is the proof:
The Princess sure had her day... Allison was in SPECTACULAR form for her big wedding day! We headed down to Pasadena the day before the wedding, just in time to miss the decorating party at the Stake Center where the reception would be held. Miraculously, the entire Syphi gang made it to the LA temple with time to spare. The sealing was absolutely beautiful and I will never forget the calm, confident look on Allison's face. Oh, and Ted looked good, too :)
Then the party began... Although the reception was at a Stake Center, it was like no Stake Center I had ever seen! It was an English Tudor-style building with beautiful landscaping all around. And the cultural hall looked awesome in all the burgundy, plum and fuchsia decorations. The dinner was fabulous, the desserts even better (surprise), but the highlight of the evening was the musical entertainment. Allison did a couple of numbers (spectacular, I may add). An old friend, Mike Moore, sang a little Harry Connick - which Ted realizes is the only other man he needs to worry about in Allison's heart. A trio of women did some great songs including Wishin' And Hopin'. And last but not least, we heard the traditional Roast With Love from the Syphi Siblings. This video was taken at the wedding luncheon in Provo a month after the wedding, but this was the same song performed at the reception:
And at the conclusion of the evening, Allison and Ted rode off on a motorcycle -- with Allison driving, of course. What else would you expect???
Ted is a wonderful guy and absolutely perfect for Allison. We are so excited for them both!
