Weddings!!!

Fact about me:  I LOVE weddings.  Everything about them.  The dreaming, the planning, the dresses, the decorations, the music, the last minute mishaps, the laughs, the friends, the family AND the temple.  The only thing not to like, is gathering addresses, other than that, it is ALL wonderful!  I had a slew of friends that got married last year and couldn't make it to most of them, but there were a few that I was able to make it to.

This past year I had the opportunity actually be in a sealing for my first time, what a treat!  The first one I went to was the darling Marissa.  One of my best friends from high school and a treasured friend through our years at BYU.  She was married in April at the Salt Lake Temple.

The next wedding was in August at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple, I love it there.  That is where I first went through the temple and it will always have a special place in my heart.  This one was for Monica, one of the fab four.  It was so fun to have all four of us together and that each of us was there in the temple, I love these girls and was so happy to be there for Monica as she was sealed to Nate, welcome to the fam! (Months later...)

 I love how happy Nate's smile is looking at Monica

Following that in November was my little brother Travis to his sweet wife Kenzie.  I am excited for her to be part of our family and to be there with them in the Draper Temple and to be part of their big day!  It was a blast having the whole family together for the weekend and to see so many old friends and relatives that we haven't seen since our wedding.  So proud of them!

Finally, my bud Ali Greenwood.  We met working at RC Willey but will be friends for life!  They too were in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.  I had the honor of being a bridesmaid for this lovely lady and enjoyed a fun 1920's themed wedding.  Such a fun day and so happy  to be there for a girl that I will always love!
