.:liz & ryan jones:.

The happy, adventurous, artistic, and fun-lovin' couple, Liz and Ryan Jones. They were married on Jan. 24th, 2009. I'm so happy that they found such a perfect match in each other! I really have never seen my sister happier. I admire her so much - she's insanely talented.



This funny pic and the following breath-taking photo was taken by Ryan's talented sister-in-law, Sharlynn (pic to the left) on Antelope Island in the Salt Lake. Izzie married into a super loving, artistic family. Ryan is great - he opened up his home to Yonashiro invasion for a couple of weeks.


The following 4 photos were also taken by Sharlynn.

The happy Jones clan.

The Yonashiro family.
I was moved when Dad escorted Liz down the beach. This was unique to the 2 previous weddings in our family and I think it was really special.

Ryan's very talented mom sewed Liz's cape and all of the little girls' hooded capes. They all looked beautiful!

The radiant, beautiful bride - officially Mrs. Jones!


Uncle Jun and Elijah. He's wonderful with children and will be an amazing dad to his new baby, Kenta!
I was so impressed with my mom. She made Elijah a cumberbund and bowtie. Doesn't Elijah look sweet?



Ryan's family had made warm, flavorful chowder and chili that was served in bread bowls. Perfect for a chilly day!

This cake was delicious! They made it from scratch all by themselves! It was a delicious carrot-crushed pineapple, spice infused cake with a hint of peanut oil. They even made a yummy marshmallow fondant. Quite impressive. This photo was taken by Sharlynn.
