On Saturday January 10, 2009 my Dad decided to tie the knot. He married Billie May, and from what it seems they couldn’t be happier. They got married at the Blanding Stake Center at 1:00 PM, and Billie’s brother, Bishop Dale Black from Monticello performed the ceremony. He did a really good job, and if every couple would just do exactly what he said then everyone would be happy. He talked about how each person in a relationship shouldn’t just give 50% to make a perfect marriage, instead they should each be giving 150% to it and that way if the other person is having a bad day our extra % effort will make up for it. He also said that one of the most important things in a marriage is doing things together, like date night, but he said the most important thing we can do together is attend the Temple regularly. I totally agree with that.

Anyway, the ceremony was beautiful, Billie looked great and my Dad was as handsome as Ever! They just had a small wedding with close family and a few friends. After the wedding they had a lunch and served soup in soup bowls and green salad, with lots of yummy cookies and cakes for dessert. It turned out really nice. Plus it was a lot of fun to see all of my family. My sister Amber and her family couldn’t make it though because they just moved to Richland, Washington.
My Dad's girls from the bank came to show their love.
Here is the Johnson family table.
The night before the wedding we decided that it would be fun to steal my dad for the night. So Jeff & Chelsa, Michelle & David, and Andy & I took him to dinner, then we went back to his house and played games. It was fun to spend that one last evening with him before his big day. The next morning before the wedding, Jeff, Andy and I decided to go and try out the new guns that the guys had gotten for Christmas. It was a really nice day and turned out to be a lot of fun. Saturday night David and Michelle had us all, except for my Dad and Billie because they were on their honeymoon, over for dinner. It was a really good weekend with lots of family time.

Andy was very good to keep track of my camera bag for me. Although he looks a little bored.
I kept taking pictures of Brighton during the ceremony because she would not look away from me the whole time. She doesn't look too happy.

Jeff trying out Andy's gun. I didn't post any of Jeff's new gun, but he got a Kahr 9mm. It's tiny, but pretty fun to shoot.

Congrats on the baby! Thats really exciting! & to your dad and new wife for your marriage!I just wanted to tell you that I loved your pictures that you posted from your mexico trip!
