Part 2: The Reception

Here is the second installment of Dan and Missy's wedding. After the sealing ceremony in Salt Lake, we drove to Sandy for their reception that night. We had forgotten the address, but we knew the street and the location name, so we figured we'd find it. After driving on the road for 10+ minutes, we started joking about not finding it. Then we saw a big cemetery and sarcastically said, "I bet it's at the cemetery!" Well, it was! Not actually in the cemetery, but beside it. They had converted a nursery into a reception location. Very clever and very beautiful, but unexpected nonetheless. Brian wanted to give Dan a hard time about it. I said "no" until Brian reminded me about our wedding. At our wedding reception, we had a butterfly release to symbolize our new life together, but when we opened the little cases, one of the butterflies was dead. Dan showed Brian the dead one and said, "So, what does this symbolize?" So anyways, Brian gave Dan a hard time about his reception location being at the cemetery.
