The bridesmaids are from left to right: my little sister Gail, Doris Bullock, Mary Atwood (now deceased), me, my sister Lois, and Eldon's sister Gayle.
The other picture is of us flanked by our parents. Eldon's parents are by me and my parents are by him!
Doris is the one who introduced us so she gets credit for some high quality matchmaking! We are grateful to her! She was married by then and lived in Eldon's ward. In fact she worked in the RS with Eldon's mom. She would chat with Eldon when she shopped at Safeways and told him about me and she told me about him. We were both just home from our missions. There weren't young adult wards and activities in those days, so getting help from a friend was a good way to meet someone!
Our first date was eventful--a family barbeque, playing tennis, miniature golfing, and visiting his grandparents who also lived in Pleasant Grove. After he kissed me on the steps I went inside and knelt down and thanked the Lord for finally sending Mr. Right to me!

I don't think I've ever seen those pictures! What a good looking group. I like the bow ties.
This is a cute post. I don't know how Doris had my phone number and not yours... but she called and talked to me for quite awhile even though I had no idea who she was.
I love those pictures. I used to love to look at the fabric swatches from the bridesmaid dressses and the pesonalized napkins from your reception. It was quite the wedding!
this was fun to see and read. thanks for sharing.
And in our very own living room. Humm. I recognize that pole light as one the Webb's laid claim to. Oh well. ☺
