C&R Carter Family: Carson's Wedding

A little further down you will see that this was suppoosed to be somewhere else but I somehow managed to delete it so you get to see it first.
Anyway this is Carl and Cheryls new family. Carl, Cheryl, Carson, Sarah, Caitlynn, Cade, and Cole. I don't know why Carson didn't find a wife that started with a "C"! She will feel left out.

We just love our trips to Canada. They are filled with excitement and always the unexpected weather conditions. We left here Wednesday, March 25 in the afternoon and went as far as Karies and stayed the night. True to form the weather was pretty good until we just about got there and then the heavens opened up and the snow came. That was day 1. We left the next morning and got to Canada, and it was not too bad. Friday was also a nice day. Saturday morning we woke up to 8+ inches of snow, depending where you were. Mountain View and Hillspring said they got at least 10 inches. Good day for a wedding, but the sun did come out and part of the day was quite pleasant. We made it to the reception and got to visit with many of the family members. All my brothers and sisters that were up there were to the wedding. Marie was back east visiting her son Ken so she wasn't there but the rest were. At the luncheon we decided we all wanted to eat together so 11 of us crowded around the round table and had a great time visiting with each other. People came by and made comments about us being a "close" family. Good thing we were all right handed! We decided to leave Sunday so we could take two days to get home. Well true to form we woke up to at least 4 more inches of snow. The roads were bad all the way. We got to Dillion and the roads were closed south, so we had to stay there overnight. The next morning about 10:30 they finally opened and we were able to get the rest of the way home. Boy did it ever seem like a long trip home! Anyway that is a brief story of our trip and now for a few pictures of the wedding.

Dad decided to start to grow a beard to keep the women from chasing him. (his words). The Carson said he should grow it till he got married so he decided to. This is how handsome he looks. Jane said he now has it cut off. He kind of looked like some old miner come into town in the olden days.

And here is the happy couple. Carson and Sarah. They looked very happy. And it was a nice ceremony performed by Cheryl's brother (Carson's Uncle) He also married Carl and Cheryl 31 years ago.

And here is the happy mother (Cheryl). She was excited but also emotional. And she looked beautiful. They had a wonderful dinner. Roast beef, baked potatoes, salads, and yummy desserts made by Sarah's mother.

And the proud father (Carl) and Cade. I told Carl he cleaned up real good. He did look very handsome. He didn't wear a suit but looked great in his vest.

And now for a three generation picture of the whiskered Romerils. Carson was supposed to have a few more whiskers but he trimmed them off that morning, so he just had a few. What a handsome threesome.

****Once again I somehow deleted the picture that was supposed to be here so it appears at the top of the blog. I don't know how I manage to do that!
