Lynette and Stephen's families were members of the same Stake of the Church in Virginia, but they didn't become acquainted with each other until after Lynette returned from her mission last April 2008. they met each other while participating in activities in the Singles Ward in their Stake. Stephen had served a mission in France and had just gotten home in February 2008.

We visited with the parents and with other members of both families and we can tell they are very, very happy about the marriage of these two fine young people.

We attended the reception, held down in Manassas, Viriginia, south of DC, that same day. We met and talked with a number of interesting people, both at the Temple and later at the reception. It was a very special, long, but most enjoyable day.

Before we left the reception to make the drive back to Bedford Lynette insisted on a picture, making the line wait while we had this picture and several others taken.
