Jocelyn Lea Salmon and Nathan Pierson Bates were married on December 21st in Calgary on a cold and snowy day.


Worse than cold and snowy -- the sidewalks were so icy that it is a miracle that no one fell and broke a limb.


The new couple should be so lucky as to live as long and as happy a life as his grandparents who opened their home to all of those at the wedding to eat and drink hot chocolate, hot dogs and all the donuts in the world before this little company headed off to Glenwood for a happy evening of food and dancing.


There had been many happy hours of preparations for the wedding.

Lovely decorations made in Glenwood.


Bridesmaid dresses altered and re-altered in Calgary.


Cousins dancing and singing together in celebration of the happy event.


A good time was had by all.


The most memorable side event was the sleuthing for Nathaniel's Aunt Tonia's lost I-phone.

There are programmes that can tell where lost phones are, and this phone seemed to be hanging out in the northwest at a major food distributors store and was eventually found in a relative's purse.


Yes to technology that helps to bring the lost (phones) back home.
