My niece, Brittney Flaspoehler, was married to Adam Jacox in the Mormon Temple in Bountiful, Utah, on Saturday afternoon, July 7, 2007. The date, 7/7/07, was considered a lucky day for weddings. Brittney is the only daughter of my brother, Bob Flaspoehler. Brittney's mother is Carol Flaspoehler.

The wedding was beautiful, and Adam and Brittney seem very much in love. He is a nice quiet boy and she is an ex-cheerleader so, in my opinion, they are a good match for each other: she brings out his fun side, and he helps keep her grounded.

	Bountiful Temple On Saturday afternoon, I drove to the Bountiful Temple for the wedding at 4:30. Bountiful is a medium sized town about 10 miles north of the Salt Lake City. The temple building is quite beautiful.	CAROL FLASPOEHLER IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE MARRIAGE OF HER DAUGHTER Brittney Flaspoehler TO Adam Jacox SON OF BRAD AND ALYSON JACOX ON SATURDAY, JULY 7, 2007, IN THE BOUNTIFUL, UTAH, TEMPLE. THE PLEASURE OF YOUR COMPANY IS REQUESTED AT A RECEPTION FROM 7:30 TO 9:30 THAT EVENING, SOUTH JORDAN, UTAH.
	Photos on the Lawn Afterwards, on the grounds, they took lots of the "traditional" wedding pictures. The bride and groom change into temple garments for the actual wedding, and then change back to wedding gown and tux for the pictures. Brittney's dress was quite pretty, and Adam wore a formal suit rather than a tux.
	Outdoor Reception About 200 people showed up for the reception, a big number by any standard. And they stayed late. We had chicken salad sandwiches and cheese cake for refreshments.
	The Next Day I was surprised to see Adam and Brittney show up at Carol's house on Sunday afternoon. They were batting around, waiting to leave for their Honeymoon trip on Monday. This gave me a chance for a few cute photos.
	Mormon Tabernacle at Temple Square On Sunday, Carol and I joined Diane and Jeff for visit to the Mormon Tabernacle to hear the choir. But they were on tour, so we watched in on TV!
	A Visit with Bob Naturally, while I was in Salt Lake City, I had time to visit with my brother Bob. I took him out to lunch twice, and once for ice cream. He is doing very well, but needs more interaction with people.

I met Adam's family, and they are quite nice. They are named Brad and Alyson Jacox, and have 5 or 6 kids. Adam is the second oldest. (Sorry I can't remember all those names!)

Adam's dad works for the LDS church in an administrative position and is stationed in Sao Paolo, Brazil, with his wife and family. Adam did his mission with the Chinese community in Montreal, Canada, and his brother spend him mission in France. The whole Jacox family is quite international!

Adam's father, Brad Jacox, works in Brazil overseeing building projects for the Mormon Church. Alyson and Brad flew up from Sao Paolo for Adam's wedding. Their daughter, Adam's sister, is getting married the next week in the Salt Lake Temple, as soon as Adam and Brittney get back from their Honeymoon trip to Cancun. Mom and Dad did not want to fly up twice, which is why the two events are so close together.

Carol, my sister in law, was a good hostess, and both she and Brittney seemed pleased that I had taken the effort to come in for the wedding. It was a lovely wedding, and provided a great opportunity, as well, for me to visit my brother Bob in the Nursing Home. It was very much worth the trip, as far as I am concerned.
