Hyrum and Emma's Big Day!

Wow I have never let my blog be so neglected. Shame on me. But then you would understand if you lived my life the past two weeks. It seriously has been one event to the next, and that doesn't count my work life which consumed my every thought as well. It totally must be summer. So I'll start with Hyrum's wedding because well that's where I left off, correct? Ry and I got there Wednesday night and really it was so good to be home with our family. You know the excitement in the air when something big is about to happen? Well that's how it felt. Granted I was exhausted by the time the entire weekend was over, but still loved every minute of it. So here are a few pictures of this delightful occasion.

So Thursday of course was decorating and packing as much as you can into more day. So we decorated, and decorated until we were so exhausted. I mean it turned out beautiful, but my mom and dad put a LOT of work into it. I loved it.

Even the couple helped, they were just probably trying to keep themselves busy. You know, the wedding jitters and what have you.

 Here I am looking super busy I know! You've got to pose when you can!

This is Mariah and Maddie getting ready to cover the windows at the church. Seriously we transformed that gym into a garden. It was awesome.

So Friday was the big day at the Boise Idaho Temple. I could tell Hyrum was nervous but the nervous excited you know? I know that Emma and him were destined to be together, it's just a HUGE step in your life. And probably surreal thinking that this day finally came. CRAZY! The ceremony was beautiful and of course I cried a lot, when Hyrum got choked up that's when I lost it the most. I sat by Kenzie in the temple and I was just so overwhelmed by how happy everyone looked. I mean really you can't grab happiness and put it in your pocket, but you know some people just glow and well there was some mega wattage in use there. We then went outside and met up with these characters.

Honestly now, how precious! 

 My seesters and me. We all rocked those dresses like nobody's business. 

Here they are (and don't mind Liam, haha), first smooch outside the temple. Hooray for weddings!

Then we took a BAZILLION photos I swear, but I don't care because I love photos. Anyway, then we raced home for the luncheon in which Kenzie made her Cafe Rio salad. So delish. I mean honestly! It was good to relax a little before the crazy reception. And really, the weather couldn't have been more perfect either.

 Oh hey here I am with the couple. Love them! I'm so excited for them!

 Jenn and the happy couple! Hooray!

 HA! What a bunch of weirdos!

 These guys are old news, I mean they've been married for 3 years, and have a child. Come on now, regardless I still love them too!

Here is the final reception. It was an Italian garden complete with homemade pizzas and Italian Sodas (which were a hit by the way). 

Anyway, so much fun, and such a party. My feet still hurt! I'm so happy for Hyrum and Emma. I'm heading out tomorrow to fly to New Mexico for their other reception and I'm so excited because I felt like they was way too much stuff going on to even have a decent conversation with them when I was home. Then I get to travel home with my parents and we are stopping at the Grand Canyon. SO EXCITED! Summer I love you... and weddings and family I love you too!
