Jared, Allison and Makenna Move to Memphis

LDS Linkup brought Allison and Jared Cooper together. They picked a beautiful day and place to get married: May 5, 2008 at Salem Pond. It was a small gathering of a few close friends and family members. They lived in Salem until December while Jared did an internship in Magna. January 2009 they moved to Memphis so he can finish Optometry school and graduate in May.
Where is Makenna? The great grandchildren posed for a picture, but Makenna was running around ignoring our requests for her to come. She was so excited to have her beautiful mother getting married that she couldn't stay in one spot for very long. Here are 7 of the 15 grandchildren with Grandma Darlene and Grandpa Dick.
I captured a candid picture of Makenna getting instructions from Madilyn on how to be a flower girl. Two year old Makenna just loved being the center of attention on such a special day.
We were glad she made the family picture, but we missed the Atwoods of Bellevue and the Taylors of Omaha. Also missing were Jared's cute little boys, Jaxson and Jace who live with their mother in Oregon. Makenna is thrilled to have two big brothers and Daddy Jared in her family.
President Roy Silcox performed the marriage ceremony. Nancy (Allison's second mom) was there bringing her famous macaroni salad and we celebrated the occassion with a picnic. Jared's family came from Burley, Idaho. He is the youngest of eight children. We enjoyed meeting and getting to know the Cooper family.
