Hanna and James had their reception in Cokeville the night before their wedding. I highly recommend it. Then there is much less to worry about on the day of the wedding, and they can head off on their honeymoon after the wedding and luncheon.
We stayed in the basement of James' uncle's house in Cokeville. They are on a mission, and they had the best raspberry patch I've ever seen. Vonda, James's mom, fed us every meal. She's an amazing woman to just pull that off - she was feeding all of her kids and grandkids also.
On Friday, we helped decorate the church gym for the reception. It was so simple but awesome. They served brownies and ice cream. Janetta, James' sister did the flowers. She is amazing.
James family and friends came, but we also had family and friends make the effort to come. Declan Nunn (Hanna's cousin) came. Don & Lynn Thomason (Austin's mom's cousin) came. Brian and Bonnie Summers (friends from when we lived in Hyrum) came. Then my siblings and parents came and then stayed the night to be there for the sealing the next day.
A funny moment was when we were cleaning up after the reception, and some of James' nephews had snuck into the brownies and Vonda caught them and made them do 10 pushups - right there in the church kitchen.
