Calgary LDS Temple - 17 September 2012

It's been a long time since I've posted anything about the construction of the Calgary LDS Temple.  It's really coming along.  In fact, it's nearly done.  So close!!
The Open House is less than 2 weeks away now.  The official date is September 29th and goes until October 20th.
If you would like to go, you can go online and reserve a day/time.  The website for that is...http://mormontemples.org/calgary
If you would like someone to go with, I would be more than happy to take you through, just let me know.

I've taken several pictures of the temple over the last week or so.
Have a look....

I took this through the window.  Just ignore the annoying reflection I was picking up.

Top spire was lit up this morning.  First time we've seen that.  So pretty!!

Nikki & Ryan's Wedding

I love weddings.  Even more, I love weddings when they're for someone I love and care about.  

I was so happy to attend the wedding of Nikki and Ryan.  Nikki is my niece.

Their wedding was so lovely.  It was held in Canmore at the Nordic Centre.  

Here's a few pictures of their wedding....

Nikki and her Dad walking down the isle.

The wedding party

We happened to run into them in Canmore after the wedding, while they were taking pictures.  I managed to capture this cute picture of them.  Such a cute couple!!

Love this photo!!  I think my sister took this photo of them.

Fern and I offered to make Nikki and Ryan their wedding cake.  After all, it would be a shame if we didn't make something when we both make nice cakes, right?   Nikki said she would love that and basically said we could do anything we wanted.  She left it completely up to us...... 

This is what we came up with.  We were thrilled with how it turned out!

All fondant, hand-made flowers!

Cupcakes!  We had 2 different flavors of cupcakes.... berry cupcakes and a butter pecan pina colada cupcakes

It was a beautiful wedding.  I like to wish Nikki and Ryan all the best as they start their lives together as husband and wife.  We love you both so much!!   Congratulations!
