Tis the season to get married, fa la la la la...la la la la!!!

Collin and I apparently started a new trend, because there was a huge number of people who got married after us. Summertime is always a busy time for weddings, especially in the Mormon world. During August, we were each in a wedding, one in Utah and one in California!! He got the opportunity to be a groomsman for our friend Kevin's wedding. We saw Kevin and his wife get sealed in the Manti Temple. This was the first sealing that I witnessed, so it was really special for me. :) The Manti Temple is so gorgeous and I love the view you can see from the temple. While we were waiting outside for the happy couple, we took a few pictures around the temple.

We were told to be funny...

 

When Kevin and Natalia came out of the temple, you can see that they were so happy. They are such a nice couple. :)

 

 

 

Pictures were being taken as Collin and I had fun taking our own. :)

 



 

I loved the mint green dresses. :)

 

We went to their reception where everyone was playing games and winning prizes. Collin hosted a game of family feud. Overall, it was a beautiful wedding. Collin and I really enjoyed ourselves that day.

 

 

 

 

 

A week later, I took a train down to California for my best friend April's wedding. Ironically enough, April was one of my bridesmaids for my wedding and I was a bridesmaid for her wedding. We both got married a month apart from each other! Collin couldn't make it down because of work, but we still Skyped with each other like old times. :)

 

I was so excited to be a part of her big day and was looking forward to wearing my bridesmaid dress.

 

 

I remember how beautiful she looked as she walked down the isle to marry her prince charming. Tears filled my eyes knowing that April was married to a great guy who would support her no matter what. The scenery was beautiful in the Newcastle Wedding Gardens. It was a perfect day to get married.

 

I got to Rocklin for the wedding reception in the afternoon. The decorations were so amazing with a Midnight in Paris theme.

 

I LOVED the incredible center pieces!

 

During the reception, each member of the bridal party got announced individually along with a song of their choice. When they called my name, they played "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper. I made my entrance and began dancing as I walked in. It was fun! :)

 

 

Later on, there was food, a lot of dancing, bouquet/garter toss, and cake. :) I was glad when I had time during the reception to get a picture with my girl. :)

 

 



 

It was such a creative, fun, and beautiful wedding. Jordan and April make a gorgeous couple. I am so happy that my best friend is now happy with the perfect guy for her. It is a good feeling when you find someone who is your true soul mate.

 

 

 

The following day, I packed my things and took the train back to my new home in Utah where I knew my husband was waiting for me there. :)
