Elder Peacock’s Day at His Brother’s Wedding (sort of)

[December 28, 2013]

When love happens, sometimes it can’t wait for brothers who are on missions in remote parts.  So, Flat Elder Peacock (or Flat Tyler as we familiarly call him) had a busy day as proxy for his more 3-D counterpart.

Flat Tyler is very quiet, so sometimes we forget he’s there and we were afraid we might forget him, so we put a little reminder on the front door.

A sweet ride to the temple.

Here he is, always the missionary, welcoming visitors.

But I like this version where he has palm fronds sprouting out of his head…I think 3-D Tyler would appreciate the humor in that.

Oh look!  Here’s a visitor now!

Chad is almost as tall as Flat Tyler.  He likes that about him.

Take down! (ok, ya, we had a lot of time to kill while waiting for the bride and groom to emerge…)

Now on the temple side of the street.

With grandma and grandpa, and…

Aliza, and his brother’s roommates, and…

meeting Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Spiker (married for 7 days!), and…

Hanging with his cousins and brother.

Flat Tyler was very popular with the ladies:

His friend Jessie,

Kari, sister of the bride (I promised her he’s actually much taller in 3-D!),

He even found a flat Sister to hang out with! (who also, incidentally, happens to be serving in Peru!)  They’re cute together, don’t you think?

Finally, the bride and groom emerged and Flat Tyler was a champ, posing in all of the pictures!

Oh.  I don’t think 3-D Tyler’s going to be very happy that he ended up shorter than his brothers.  I think they might have been taking a bit of advantage of his inanimate nature.

There he is, photobombing…a favorite hobby of 3-D Tyler (see below, pre-mission).

At the wedding luncheon.  His last social obligation of the day before retiring to the garage (scaring us from the shadows when we forget he’s there) to await further duty…

Thanks for filling in, Flat Tyler!
