We have been planning this wedding ALL summer and my girls have been counting down the days. It has been a much anticipated event. Of course the day turned out perfect and the reception was beyond gorgeous. Here are a couple of my favorite things from the weekend
1. Being in the bride room in the temple getting Clarah in her wedding dress with ALL my sisters. We helped her button the back of her dress, fix her hair, and put her shoes on. After we stood around her and all looked in the mirror. It was a surreal moment to have all of us together in the temple. It took many, many years of hard work to get us all there together. It was worth it. Following the Saviors plan is always worth it!
2. Going through the temple with Caity and Clarah together. Brady and Cherise were not in town yet but everyone else was able to make it. We gathered in the celestial room after and had a wonderful family hug. I dream of the day I can have all my children with me in the temple, worth and clean!
3. Seeing Alice and Scarlett get so excited to see Clarah come out of the temple. She looked beautiful and just like a princess.
4. Chatting with old friends at the reception and eating the super yummy homemade ice cream sandwiches. The reception had tons of flowers and it was so beautiful. A perfect summer wedding.
5. It was HOT. Super HOT! After Clarah and Skyler left we all jumped in the pool with our wedding attire on. It was so memorable. I always wished I would have jumped in the pool with my wedding dress on after my reception but my mom wouldn't let me. So when I saw the pool looking perfect I just had to jump in. Then everyone else followed. Even Scarlett jumped in with me.
6. Of course I loved having all my family together! Brady and Cherise drove into town with there kids and stayed at Emilys. Since we know live so close we were able to eat breakfast with them on Sunday and wave goodbye as they drove back to Dallas. I always miss them when they go and wished they lived closer. Nate and Brynne drove from Reno and were able to stay the whole week. Nate just had his white coat ceremony and started med school yesterday. So proud of him!
The best part is that we get to have another bit wedding party in just a couple weeks. The wedding extravaganza continues!
After Caity and Clarah took out their endowments. Such an amazing experience.
