I just got back from my week and a half vacation spent in grand SLC, UT. I am exhausted!
I arrived wednesday night (the 31st) so I could attend my sisters graduation the next day. Em is the last of my siblings to graduate High School. Her graduation was nice, and long! There were something like 500 kids graduationg, and her last name is 'W', so it's not like we could hang around until her name was read and then take off.
The rest of the week was dedicated to wedding stuff. My best friend Bri-Bri got hitched! Her wedding was on the 10th, and when I finally saw her on the 2nd, her mom was still frantically sewing away at my Maid of Honor dress and Bri's sister's Matron of Honor dress. So my days were spent running around getting this and looking for that. I was lucky to be able to help with and attend the Bridal Shower! I was afraid that I would miss out on that fun tradition.
Thursday and Friday were rainy and stormy, and everyone checked their different weather reports each hour in fear that it would rain wedding day. However, Satruday morning dawned bright and clear. The wedding and reception were to take place at Log Haven. It was perfect up there! It was green and the air was so fresh. Bri, Jo (Bri's sister) and I arrived at 9:00 to start getting the bride ready. The ceremony was set for 11:30 and the reception for 1:00. Jo and I had the best time attending the bride.
The ceremony took place outside on a wooden pation overlooking the canyon. A family tradition is to place a ring of flowers around where the couple will be wed.
The ceremony was perfect, and went off without a hitch. There were bees and butterflies fluttering all over area. After the ceremony and pictures, we all headed down to the reception.
Log Haven is a restaurant as well as serving as a "special events" place. So, needless to say, the food for the reception was wonderful! There was an herb roasted chicken, roasted potatoes, steamed and seasoned veggies, and a delicious salad with a basil pesto dressing. Everyone there loved the food.
The day was perfect, the ceremony perfect, and the reception perfect. The only bad thing to happen was the batteries died on my camera, so I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted.
I leave you with a few more:
One Love eveyone!
