Benjamin and his new wife Madison were married on July 20, 2013, the day before our first anniversary. The two of us, Janell and Victor, drove to Boise after school and work on Wednesday the 17th. We arrived at eleven in the evening. The groom, who was supposed to have arrived the day before us, was still on his way from Rexburg. Changing our plans, we joined him in a caravan consisting of us with Rosee in one car, and him and Mom Limb in the other to go up to decorate the honeymoon cabin before the bride would see it. We drove all through the night and arrived at the cabin an hour before the other car. Rosee helped us put dozens of pickup line post-it notes all over the cabin.
Very tired after driving and decorating, we drove to Portland to be there when Madison received her temple ordinances. The group of us brought many family names that Victor had prepared in his family history work through the temple, starting with our own private baptism session up to going through the temple with Madison. It confused some of Victor's family a bit that the ordinances showed up online as done in Portland. Nobody on his side lives around there.
Aunt Ruth found a family in her ward that was kind enough to share their home with us while they were out of town. It was huge and perfect for the large group of us that were there for the wedding. Janell was so excited and full of energy the next day in the temple that she couldn't sit still for a moment. She kept beaming at Madison, who had been one of her friends at BYU-Idaho well before she had met Benjamin.
Benjamin and Madison arrived at their wedding lunch after most of us had finished eating even though we waited quite a while to begin. After they grabbed their food, we set up chairs around them and had fun watching them intently and talking about them as they ate.
That evening, during the reception, Benjamin gave his keys to Joseph for safekeeping so that they would not be stolen from him and the car would not get decorated. Madison's cousin and younger sisters had prepared everything that was needed to decorate the car. When I asked Joseph if I could have the keys, he said sure and joined in with us on the decorating.
