After a long journey in the car we arrived late Thursday night at the Rigg Ranch in Grand Junction.
It was awesome to see all the little Rigg cousins together and to be out of the car!
The house was full of wedding guests so we headed over to the hotel where the whole extended family was staying for a good night's sleep.
When we woke up we headed down to the lobby for breakfast and found it overflowing with Rigg cousins and relatives! The kids had a blast wrestling with their big cousins.
Then we did a little swimming at the pool
That evening we had a rehearsal dinner where we met up with even more Rigg relatives!
There was lots of yummy food and even better company!
(Also, Taber was lookin' mighty fine in that dark blue Guayabera, just sayin'... ;)
Late that night my parents rolled in from Pleasant Grove. The kids were so excited to see them!
The next day it was wedding time! Taber was one of the groomsmen and Brett was the officiator so they got to wear some pretty sweet tuxes. Mama Rigg looked gorgeous as the mother of the bride.
The wedding was in the backyard of the Rigg Ranch right in front of the lake. It was an incredibly beautiful setting.
Taber rocked his duties as a groomsmen.
And Regan made the most beautiful bride. There wasn't a dry eye when she walked out of the house with Papa Rigg to walk down the aisle.
The Newlyweds! I don't think I've ever seen Regan so happy. :)
It's so wonderful to see her with someone who loves and treasures her the way Corwin does. We couldn't be happier to have him in the family.
After the ceremony we headed over to the country club for the reception.
There was singing...
(Taber and I sang a duet that Regan had requested)
And Dancing...
(This little girl was cutting the rug full throttle till after 10pm!)
And just a whole lot of fun!! The food was amazing and I can honestly say that I haven't danced as hard as I did that night in years!! It was awesome!
Little miss Teya and Brinley jointly caught the bouquet, which was probably the highlight of their night, and Brett's oldest son Landon caught the garter.
The next day we had enchiladas at the Rigg casa and said goodbye to all the family.
But not before the kids got soaking wet in the sprinklers, with a 4 hour drive to Pleasant Grove ahead, and all the clothes packed deep within the Yukon. Little stinkers!
It was a quick trip but so amazingly awesome to see everyone and especially be there for Regan and Corwin's big day. We wouldn't have missed it for anything!

I still can't believe you made that drive! But it looks like it was well worth it. Everyone looked soo beautiful, especially mama Rigg. And those tuxes were crazy! Brett officiated? Is it because he is a lawyer? How does one get into the officiating business? Wow, and Corwin's hat... so special!
I love this so much. Thank you for such a beautiful post. I loved my wedding...so full of love, laughter, and booty shaking. :) I really adore this. Thank you Becca. xoxo Oh, this is Regan. :)
I love that you love having your massive family together as much as I love having mine together. That long trip looks worth it.
Beautiful picture of them by the lake!!!
That looks like so much fun, and what a beautiful setting!! I love the photo booth thing that is popular for weddings now...where was that when we were getting married??? So neat that you sang at the reception...you have such a beautiful voice!
