A Wedding!

We recently went to the wedding for Wayne's younger brother Daryl in the Salt Lake Temple.  His new wife is named Denece, and she's from Hawaii.  They met in their BYU ward.  She's really pretty and sweet.  I took a few pictures at the wedding, but none of them turned out that great.  It may be time for me to get a new camera.  We got some video, though.  Anyway, the most memorable part of the day for the guests was not something I want pictures of. . .

We dropped our kids off at my parents' house before we went to the wedding.  Yes, they could have waited at the temple.  But it's kind of a pain to make kids come when they are just going to be waiting for a long time.  After the wedding, we considered picking up the kids before going to the wedding lunch.  It turned out to be a good thing that we didn't.

We went to a restaurant called "The Golden Dragon."  Before the wedding, I checked out their menu  on their website at www.goldendragonchinesefood.com, and it looked like a pretty normal Chinese restaurant.  I really like Chinese food.  There was even a kids' menu, with fish or chicken and fries.  So, I was very surprised by what we encountered there.  It turns out that the reason people go there on Saturday afternoon is for the dimsum.  I've never had dimsum, which is essentially a Chinese buffet that is delivered to each table.  None of the food was even recognizable!  There were a variety of meat dishes that included organ meats.  When they brought out calamari, I was tempted to eat it just because at least I knew what it was.  Wayne went so far as to try the chicken feet.  My problem with the chicken feet was that I couldn't find any dishes that had any other chicken parts in them.  So, thank you Daryl and Denece for offering us such an unusual cultural experience.  And I'm sorry I wasn't quite up for the challenge.

Here are some pictures from the reception:

Benjamin liked the treats at the reception.

 Daniel liked seeing so many relatives, especially since he was able to give them mini concerts on the piano in the Primary room.
