Neil and Echo had a very short marriage ceremony at the Polk County Courthouse in Dallas, OR. While they were filling out paperwork we got some really fun family shots...
My sister Becky and me.
L-R Marie (our mom), Aiden (Echo's daughter), Christopher (our boy) and Nathaniel (our nephew)
Grandpa Rogers with Michael and Mercedes. Donovan walking by.
My dad...A.K.A. Grandpa Dysart.
Mercedes looking up into the very tall tree.
Becky made Neil and Echo's wedding cake. She finished decorating it at their house.
There is actually a funny story that goes with this cake. Neil and Echo insisted on a rice krispie cake. They didn't want anything traditional. Dad really wanted for them to have a traditional cake. So....Becky made the top layer only of cake so Dad could have some cake and the bottom two layers are rice krispie treats. The rest of the story is down several pictures. It's a great joke on Neil and Echo....
Walking with the judge to the spot where the ceremony will take place.

The reception was held at their house. Neil is running the BBQ. He wouldn't let anyone help.
So....Russell and Dad got to visit.
Echo in their kitchen. She wouldn't let anyone help her either.
The cake.
The rest of the cake story. Neil and Echo insisted on Dad cutting the cake. Becky and I had a hard time convincing Neil that Dad should start at the top "because of the way the cake was sitting." So finally - Dad starts cutting. Neil and Echo do not know the top is cake. They are thinking the whole cake is rice krispies. Dad starts commenting on how easy the cake is to cut.
Neil then realizes the joke is on him and Echo. I love their facial expressions....
He did think it was a good joke on them. Becky said it was for all 28 years of putting up with his practical jokes on her.
