February 18th, 2012...Melanie Rae Nelson and Russell Mason Askey are sealed for time and all eternity in the Sacramento, CA Temple. Many of our family members and many friends were able to join us for this sacred and wonderful occasion. We thank each of them and we know that those who were not able to come were with us in spirit. Melanie looked radiant! Her grandpa, Marvin Nelson, was able to seal the couple. This was the 9th sealing he was able to officiate for his grandchildren. It is a wonderful experience to be in the temple with those we love.
Following the sealing and pictures at the temple, we all headed back to Chico for the PARTY/reception. We always have a good time dancing, visiting, and eating and this was no exception. As he did with Melissa, Ray recorded himself singing the song that he and Melanie danced to. It was amazing and there was not a bit of noise as everyone looked on and listened to the traditional daddy/daughter dance. I think there were many wet eyes when it was over, including mine.
