Danielle Says, "I Do!"

Our beautiful and sweet Danielle Welch said “I do” to her handsome and devoted Kale Porter on Saturday, August 31, 2019.  The nuptials took place in a beautiful outdoor setting at Bigelow Ranch (between Veyo and Gunlock, UT) where the temperature was 107 degrees in the shade. Surrounded by family and friends who love them both, Danielle and Kale were joined “til death us do part” by her Grandpa David Welch whose authority “came off the internet at a cost of $50” according to the handsome cowboy officiator who was delighted to have been asked to “tie the knot” for his granddaughter and her new husband.

The happy couple, who have known each other since junior high school, will honeymoon on a beautiful beach then return to their temporary home in St. George where she works as a medical assistant for Dr. Ryan Lewis, son of our longtime good friends Rex and Vicky Lewis (Rex was our best man on Saturday, August 31, 1963 – our own wedding day 56 years ago in Idaho Falls, ID).

Those family members surrounding the bride and groom, in our Sappington family group photo, were Kelly S. and Gary Yocum, Kris S. Schnabel, Stacy S. and Rick Welch, Taisley Welch, Kendi and Taylor Dunkley, Michael and Jessica Sappington (and their kids Lilly Sappington, Kirsten, Joshua and Laura Lenford), Simeon and Stephanie Lovell,  and of course, Ed and me!  

It was a beautifully memorable event, sharing this magical moment with our happy bride and groom, Taisley looking luscious as the maid-of-honor, good food, happy tears, and lots of hugs and kisses.  No doubt, this family milestone will almost certainly be on Grandma’s 2019 Top Ten List of Sappington Family Stories.
