As I thought about posting a remembrance of Bonny and Bruce's wedding day, (and btw just because I do a post doesn't mean others can't do a post of the same occasion!!) I was browsing through the photos. I know I've posted this before, but click on it and see who's there - and who's not there.
And reflect upon who's not with us anymore, which couples are no longer couples, which youngsters have grown older - it's a little microcosm of life. (Just to note - Harry was still up at BYU - but the 15th was the last day in December that the temple was open for weddings before Christmas - and so we had the reception on the 22nd so he could be involved. And Hannah and Noah were home with a baby sitter - I wasn't up for chasing after small ones - and it wasn't quite the same as it is now, when everyone brings everyone - it was, after all, 19 years ago!!)
But something that hasn't changed is the great couple that Bonny and Bruce still are!!
Here's to more wonderful years together!!

I always did think it was funny that I was the only child there. I think Tina and Jim were in charge of me. I don't remember exactly though, maybe someone else watched me during the wedding.
Happy anniversary, Bonny and Bruce!
I thought you had the little kids stay at home because there would be no family picture without Harry.
And thanks for the post - what a lovely day....
I didn't have them go to Grandpa Terrill's funeral either. I come from an era when children were not automatically included in everything - which can be good and bad.
I just didn't want one more detail to worry about. And I think they stayed with Jan Johnson and had a great time - better than hanging out outside the temple on a cold winter day!
It was a wonderful day - and I'm pretty sure Noah and Hannah are not upset with me!! Remember how disappointed Noah was with the reception? He said, "I thought you said we were going to have a party?"
I remember that reception, and it was one of the most beautiful that I had ever been to... It was really elegant, as all the Terrill wedding receptions are.
Coincidentally, Bonny and Bruce's wedding festivities always make me think of young children, because someone in your crowd (can't be sure who) decided to play a "trick" that evening with a trail of pennies on the floor, and I well remember my two very young younger sisters stooping (and losing their balance) to pick them up! It's an adorable mental image!
Now, I didn't know about that Ashley - thanks for sharing!!
And we always love the always lovely, fashionable presence of the Burdicks - one and all!!
