Miranda's Wedding--Thursday

 We drove up to our motel room in Silver Springs, near the temple, the night before in a pretty good rainstorm and took a trial run to the temple.  Here it is, lit up at night.  It's a big temple and very beautiful.  Our GPS took us a crazy way to Silver Springs through lots of residential neighborhoods and we wondered if we would ever get there in the rush hour traffic.  But, praise be to the inventor of the GPS.  We don't know how we would have found anything without her!!  (Ours is Clara.)
 A glorious day for the wedding.  A little breezy, but all the rain was gone from the night before.
 Ken and Miranda after the wedding ceremony.  They obviously weren't posing here.  I don't know that I have ever seen a happier couple.  Maybe it does enhance your appreciation if you don't find each other until you are in your thirties.
 Ryan, Lauren, Wendy, Miranda, Ken, Caitlin and Curtis.  It was wonderful that all of them would come to wait outside for the wedding party. 
 Looking directly opposite the temple toward the Visitor's Center.  The flower beds were empty of the spring flowers and getting prepared for the summer ones, but the grounds were still lovely.
 Miranda's reception was held on this lawn in front of the Mt. Vernon Chapel.  The chapel is beautiful and has a sloping front lawn that overlooks the Potomac.  What a choice piece of property!!
Looking toward the river.  They fed us a delicious catered dinner of stuffed chicken, salmon, eggplant, etc.  Very Nice!!
