Wedding 44 years ago

This is our wedding certificate we received after we were married in the Idaho Falls Temple on August 26, 1966. My Dad and Uncle Alfred were our witnesses. Brother Wray was the Temple president and Betty Kunz's (Keith's wife) Father. Guess we started it all for our family. It seems like a long time ago.
Notice Mom and Dad and Mother Bates in the wedding reception line at the Cedron churchhouse. Also in the line was Pete as best man and bridesmaids, Bonnie, Rilla and Mary Lou. Lena was the oldest neice and was the flower girl. It was a very simple reception. Rilla and I made crepe paper pink roses and I held a real long stemmed rose. My color was dark aqua and pink. Bonnie made our wedding cake that we were cutting. Merle Kunz was looking one on the right side. We went on a honeymoon to Yellowstone Park. A story for another day.
