Simeon and Steph Say "I Do" Forever

Simeon Lovell and Stephanie Shipley were married for time and eternity in the Mt. Tinpanogos Temple on Saturday, August 5. The ceremony was conducted by Elder Devn Cornish, formerly President of the Caribbean Area Office in the Dominican Republic (including the West Indies Mission) with about 40 friends and family members in attendance.

Brother and Sister Bassler had flown in from Atlanta and both Sim and Steph had former missionary companions in the company. Also present was Bishop Michael Bair and his family, including Selwin and Brianna Bair Lovell.

Following the ceremony, pictures, pictures and more pictures captured this important day, then on to lunch at the La Jolla Groves Restaurant in the Riverwoods Mall in Provo. The evening reception was held at the Springville Art Museum near Steph’s family home were the happy couple greated friends, family and former missionary companions.

Things to remember about this beautiful day:

*    Bringing a truckload of furniture to the kids’ apartment in Provo
*    Taking a truckload of “stuff” back to St. George, including a bed for Steph’s little sister, a student at Tuacahn High School … and all sorts of things for next week’s Open House in St. George
*    Helping Michael and Jessica finish the process of moving him out of his home in Pleasant Grove (whew!!! That was a tremendous amount of work).
*    Staying in the beautiful home of our good friends Bruce and Barbara Christensen
*    Running into Vicki Henderson in the temple.  She and her husband Bob are friends from our college days in Rexburg.

We are exhausted and ready to be home, but it was a wonderful weekend.
