This is my son, Ashton, and his new bride, Becky. This was taken just after they were married on the beach in Santa Barbara. It was supposed to be a secret but when Ashton called me before he left town I all of a sudden got 'mother's intuition' and asked him if they were running away to get married. After an awkward silence, awkward conversation that ended with him hanging up on me he called back and confirmed my suspicions. To get the record straight, however, they were not running away, they had been planning since October but just hadn't told any family, they were going to surprise us at the monthly family dinner this month. That was supposed to be next Sunday and I had it all planned out where I would have a cute single-layer wedding cake made by a friend and I would bring it out as dessert and then they would make their announcement. Well, they couldn't wait so I had a day to throw together the cake. Below is the result:
Scary, I know. At least the ducks are cute and they appreciated it so much! We are so glad to have Becky as a part of our family. She is a sweet girl and has really helped Ashton get on top of taking care of his health and many other events that have spelled out a not so hot year for him.

Congratulations to Ashton & Becky. They really do look like a nice couple. I enjoyed visiting with you guys last month. It was a pretty quick trip through UT, but enjoyable nonetheless. It is always a pleasure talking to Byron, and he gave me some things to think about.
