One of the many exciting activities we had last summer was the wedding of our daughter Kenna and Josh Eckery. Kenna and Josh met at BYU-I. They were in the same ward. The first time we met Josh was at a concert that Kenna sang in. We were able to be in Rexburg for it and he was there to watch her too. She had told me about this boy from New Zealand, so of course I called him “the Hobbit” With two sons-in-law with the same name, we are still trying to figure out how to decrease the confusion with names, so if you have any great suggestions, please comment below.

Planning the wedding with Kenna was fun, but difficult with Josh still in school and Kenna at home. We didn’t always get answers to questions as quickly as we wanted, but in the end it all worked out and the day was wonderful. We found a photographer pretty quickly. Thanks Cameron for fitting us in your busy schedule! Cameron is still in high school and has a very busy schedule between music activities and sports. We were planning on having a friend from Kuna do the decorating, but her son decided to get married the same week, so we got bumped, LOL! So, we decided to tackle the decorating ourselves. My amazing friends, Brian and Mary Ann Toone, saved our bacon and let us borrow some fabulous pieces from their home decor store. Without them the reception would have been pretty sparse. Kenna wanted it to be simple and refined. I think she was happy with the results. She spent hours cutting out and assembling the heart garland that we strung across the ceiling. My sister, Ranae made the beautiful cake for us. I’m sure that I am forgetting things, so I will comment more on the pictures. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into the wedding and reception of Kenna and Josh.
