Wedding again...

Friday:
The boys went to play paintball. And the girls worked all day making bouquets and programs and running errands and setting up the church and a million other things. I took a short break at dinnertime to have dinner with my family and Ty's family and Barb and Jake Reynolds. It was great to see everyone--but way too short! Then I went back to wedding stuff again. My day ended by ironing 33 tablecloths with MB, Britt, Glenys and Gideon. Till 1 am. (We sent El home to go to bed.) Needless to say that was a bonding experience and we were really giddy and out of it by the time we were finished and wanted to go home. But when MB and I went to get our purses off the couch downstairs, they were gone. So we searched the house for an hour, top to bottom, several times. No one could find them, but everyone remembered seeing them on the couch. It was really wierd. Without them we didn't have our licenses or our keys, my new camera, and MB didn't have her phone. I actually wasn't too upset at that moment, I just was mad cause it was keeping me from going to sleep. Britt took us home and we tried to figure out how we were going to get through the next day without being able to drive.

Saturday:
I got up at 7...only 4 1/2 hours after I went to bed. Tyler and I went to Jordan's to look for my purse again and help get stuff over to the reception. We didn't find the purses, but Ty did manage to lose his phone for awhile. (I think maybe we should be worried about ourselves. Our ipods also ended up getting stolen that night--which is a story in itself. I'm just glad we don't have kids, cause we'd probably lose them!) We had to transport like 50 big helium balloons to the reception site---that was funny. Then we set up the reception room--which, looked completely amazing. Elmarie has the coolest ideas.

Then, happy news, El called me saying they found our purses. Someone had picked them up thinking they were someone else's and taken them home. So we were very happy to be able to drive again and for me to take picture and for MB to be able to call her boyfriend. We went and did hair and makeup and left for the church to discover it was snowing! But luckily, that was short-lived. Then of course the fun started. It was a beautiful wedding and I am so happy for both of them and felt so honored to be a part of their day. Let's get on to the pictures, cause I know that's the only reason you all read blogs! ;-)

El looked amazing. She's probably one of the most beautiful brides I've ever seen! (No offense to all you other beautiful brides.)

Waiting...

Cait, staying warm.

Gettin' married.

Me and my love.

They are cute...that's all! ;-)

We took bridal party pictures at Standley Lake, which is such a great idea. MB took a few pics of me and T and they turned out great. I'm so excited about them!

The Parkers, Bendis, and Shaws...that's all so wierd.

First dance...

Anyway, sorry this was so long...it was just so fun to be with everyone and watch J&E start their life together, that I wanted to share it. We had a great time and made so many fun memories. And on Sunday we got to actually talk to all the people who came in from out of town, which was so fun. And see Violet...yes, it was a happy weekend!
