Saturday, July 2 dawned bright and clear. The weather man had been predicting rain but Amber was determined that her day would not be ruined. Last minute adjustments were made and at 3:00 our guests began to arrive. The wedding was wonderful. The bride arrived in a fancy old truck. The bridesmaids walked up the aisle with the three beautiful flower girls, and then Rod had the honour of walking the beautiful bride down the aisle Amber and Josh were married by Bishop Haddad under the willow tree in the front yard.
After a 2 hour photo shoot by Jody Crane the wedding party and guests sat down to a dinner of chicken Caesar wraps and salad. Gracie had a great time putting money in the KISSING WELL and making her parents kiss.
The reception began shortly afterwards and many people came to wish the couple well. There was the cake cutting ceremony, first dance and the the tossing of the bouquet. Guess who caught the bouquet? None other than TALIA. I wonder if that means there will be a Merrill wedding again next year.?

The rain had been holding off all day but we noticed the sky starting to get dark. We had moved up the events of the reception and Rod and the boys decided to hurry and shoot of the fireworks to mark the end of the night. No sooner had he finished and the skies opened up and the wind and rain came crashing down on us. We were afraid the tent and all that was in it would blow away. The big tent survived the storm but sadly, the tent we borrowed from the Bunn's was destroyed. Luckily no one was hurt. The Merrill's really know how to throw a party!
