Zach's mom (Teri) called last week to ask if they could come down and meet us. They were available on Labor Day Weekend, and Zach's dad (Brett) has Fridays off, so they came down on Friday of Labor Day weekend.
Of course I spent the day Friday tidying up the house, and the Wixoms pulled in around 2:00 (I think). We had talked about going out for dinner, but then I decided it would be nicer to have a relaxed, quiet home atmosphere to visit. They were delightful people. They visited for awhile and left Zach (heaven forbid we should keep Zach and Becca apart any longer than is needful) while they went to check into a motel near the airport. When they came back, I put them to work helping to prepare salad and garlic bread to go with the lasagna. We had Cherry Cheesecake for dessert--YUM!
David came home from work, and we enjoyed visiting and then ate dinner. After dinner, we got down to business. This is their first wedding, and of course we are so experienced having done one whole wedding. We talked about things that needed to be done and who would do what and a little about what our money limits were. Thank goodness they are not super rich and expect it to be super glamourous.
They are doing the wedding lunch at our ward building, and we are hoping to get people to bring different kind of soups. It will be cold weather, and that sounds really nice. I have reserved our building for that, and the 6th and 10th ward building for the reception.
Becca and Zach will be married in the Bountiful Temple on Thursday, December 22, 2011 at 11:15 am. We will hold a lunch at our 800 West Chapel around 2:30, and then the reception will be from 6:30 to 8:30.
The next day, we will head up to Idaho Falls where we will attend an Open House for Becca and Zach.
I am excited. This will be a beautiful time--we just hope the roads are safe. I wish I had gotten a picture of Teri and Brett Wixom.
We still have so many plans to make. Becca has her dress, she has had her bridal pictures taken, we have started planning the reception, ..... Things will be just great.
