Colton and Avonlea are not only amazing together, they are two amazing individuals as well. They are some of the nicest, genuine people. They exude happiness especially when they exited the doors of the Payson temple. They are finally husband and wife, sealed for eternity. How happy!
It was a freezing cold day, but the sun was out, so it made for a beautiful November day. I loved meeting their families and seeing them interact with them. They have some great parents that raised awesome kids.
They had their reception afterward at the Clarion in Payson. They were greeting their guests when I arrived. They are the sweetest people– I couldn't tell if they were greeting friends or acquaintances; they were so kind to everyone. Avonlea's grandpa was the DJ and host of the reception, so he helped keep things on schedule. It was great! Right on time, he had Colton and Avonlea cut the cake. Their cake was made by Kiarra Dalley– Avonlea's sister. And then her Grandma decorated it with flowers. It was beautiful. They cut it and stuffed it in each other's faces. It was fun!
Next Avonlea danced with her dad. As we were waiting for the music to turn on, a recording of her dad came on with a tune all about his little girl. It was sweet. But then the music came on and it was Avonlea's dad singing Butterfly Kisses. So sweet! Then the DJ asked other father/daughter duos to come dance with them. After it was Colton and his mom danced to their song. I loved watching them dance. Colton held his mom so tight. After their dance, it was time for Colton and Avonlea's first dance as husband and wife. This dance is always my favorite! They are so adorable. I've said it over and over again!
Now it was time for the fun! Avonlea's grandpa put on the upbeat music and everyone joined in. It was a packed dance floor. Colton's sister brought her missionary cardboard brother on the dance floor to do some crowd surfing. It was hilarious! I think each girl in that crowd got to dance with him. Avonlea went and changed soon after and then came back to throw the bouquet. Her cute sister caught it. After, the guests all lined up outside and lit the sparklers. Colton and Avonlea came running through them, dipped and kissed at the end, and then got in their decorated car. Off they went!
Congratulations Colton and Avonlea!
