it rained on my wedding day.
i had the reception all planned for outside.
there was a tent with cafe lights, i was going to string pictures in between the trees,
jon and i were going to be in a gazebo, etc etc etc....
none of that happened.
we moved the reception indoors.
and this is how it went.
cute robbie in his suit.
my family.
notice robbie. his suit is buttoned wrong.
how nice do they look in their outfits!
it was such a stress deciding what to have them wear.
finally i just told the boys to wear black ties with any suit,
and the girls to wear any yellow top and any black shoes and skirts.
i love how they looked.
jon and the best man.
robbie's suit is buttoned right.
haha.
beautiful sisters.
amanda sewed those flowers on all the cardigans.
kalie and i.
she got married one week later!
jon and i were in between homes and weren't able to attend. :(
jon's dad and step-mom.
jill with the bride and groom.
in this she said "let me be in the middle!!"
nancy!!
nephi. amanda. emma. isaac.
our cake was made by a lady in our ward. kind of last minute.
i loved how it turned out.
i may or may not have gotten in trouble for this little maneuver.
i must have surprised him.
as you can see by the piece of cake jumping off the plate.
but he loves me anyway:)
after we cut the cake, amanda gave a little speech and introduced jon and i for our first dance.
it was so cute and i wouldn't have wanted anyone else to do it.
jon and his mother.
my dad and i after the daddy-daughter dance.
after we cut the cake, had our first dance, and danced with our parents,
the real party began.
this was my favorite part of the whole day.
little robbie tearing up the dance floor! so funny!
one of my all time FAVORITE dance partners!
barb was loving it so much. she is so cute.
after what seemed like two minutes, my dad came up to me and told me that jon and i needed to go get ready to leave. i was so sad to have it end. he promised that we could dance to one more song.
eenie meenie of course!
i loved it so much when halfway through the song, i looked over to see this-
my dad and mei, dancing like THIS to eenie meenie. sooo funny!!!
my brother in law sam looking soo fly in my dads old 3 piece.
amanda made our going away sign. she is such a classy lady.
it was so stressful planning the wedding and when i got to the reception, i felt like it was all in crumbles.
even a few days after i was still sad that it didn't end up being exactly how i'd planned it and i felt like i wasted all that time.
but when i look at these pictures, they make me so happy.
i didn't get to use the cafe lights and i didn't have the outdoor wedding i've always wanted.
i DID marry the man of my dreams, and i did have the funnest night i've ever had.
and looking back, i wouldn't change a SINGLE thing!
everyone kept telling me that rain on your wedding day was good luck.
it pissed me off, but so far it seems true.
6 weeks later, we're still happily married!
