Doug & Ashley Guptill - They got married!

Doug & Ashley were married in the Columbia, South Carolina Temple on August 29th.

What a beautiful temple! The ceremony was so special. Douglas, like his brother David who was married 3 weeks earlier, had a hard time keeping his emotions in check. While the temple sealer was sealing them Doug's chin was trembling and he was fighting back his tears of joy. Ashley was smiling just as big and had tears running down her cheeks. Even the temple sealer was choked up. I know I was shedding happy tears!

I was so touched that both our sons were so emotionally touched and how much they love their wives. :o)

Ashley has a wonderful family and we enjoyed being with them so much. They were awesome! Everyone treated sweet little Kirsten like royalty. Ashley's Grandpa Glen Buckner bonded with Kirsten from the start. It was a very special experience for both of them. The first picture above is Ashley's family. She has young parents and they have six beautiful children! They are such a neat family! You just love them! Ashley was their first child to get married and Doug was our last. My to be so young again! :o)

Georgia and South Carolina are so beautiful! It was like we never left Oregon or Washington. The people down there are so friendly and genuine. We very much enjoyed our visit down there. I hope we can go back again sometime.

We have an OpenHouse we are hosting for Doug and Ashley this Saturday evening, so I'm pretty busy getting ready for that! The honeymoon couple get in this Friday evening. They went on a Carnival Cruise and hopefully won't be bothered with hurricane Hannah. They went from Miami through the Florida Keys and down to Cozumel, Mexico, a little island off the tip of Yucan, close to Cancun. We're excited to hear about there trip!
