Elder Dale G. Renlund of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, a family friend of the Woodburys (he was Jenna's grandparents' mission president in San Diego), performed the sealing. He gave some very wise words of counsel along with the ordinance. But he was also not the only General Authority in the room. Kristin Yee, second counselor in the general Relief Society presidency, was also there. (She had previously served as one of Jenna's Young Women leaders.)
So, we basically had all of the famous people there. We also had this whole group of folks:
The sealing was only the beginning of our long day! We then congregated in the cultural hall at Dave's and Jessica's meetinghouse in Woods Cross for a wedding luncheon. We were served a delicious meal, catered by Cafe Zupas.
The day was capped off with a wedding reception at the lovely Eldredge Manor in West Bountiful, where Biz and Jeff's reception was held nearly 16 years ago! Way back then, Jenna was a five-year-old bridesmaid (seen here on the right, with five-year-old Kenna and nine-year-old Madison):
The refreshments at Eldredge consisted of a wonderful waffle and crepe bar. (We were basically spoiled all day long.)
JB worked very hard on the baking the wedding cake, which turned out like this:
Of course, a family wedding wouldn't be complete without our getting to take a picture along with the bride and groom:
The evening concluded with a lot of dancing, after which the bride and groom hustled off on a plane ride to Hawaii.
We are happy for Jenna and are also grateful to have Max as a new member of the family. The future is bright for these two.
