Val's Wedding

It is October 14, and I am just now blogging about my sister's wedding that happened on July 22. I know... it was forever ago, but I am horrible at blogging...oops!

Now, to introduce the newly married couple - sealed forever in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple: Weston and Valerie!!!

So Happy Together!

Val with Mom and Dad.

When I saw this picture, it just cracked me up. I have the EXACT same picture of my mom doing the EXACT same pose in the EXACT same spot on my wedding day. I am just sad that the picture is blurry...

The Bridesmaids/Sisters

"Sisters - Sisters - There were never such devoted sisters..."

Of course, going to a wedding means being with the entire family. Kyle and I just love our nieces and nephews. This is a pic of Kyle with JoJo. They were best best buds at the temple. It was so precious!

Tyler, Jaden, and Austin. Such handsome young men with their awesome mohawks.

Me and Taycie. I loved the girls' dresses

Now, on to the reception, which was held in my parent's back yard. If you have ever been to my parent's house, you know the story of the rhino and the hippo. The people who lived in my parent's house before them decided to put life size statues of a rhino and a hippo in the driveway. My mom thought this was so funny, so she refused to remove them. There is nothing like a rhino and a hippo in Wyoming! For every holiday, she dresses them up just to make the situation even better! Without further adieu, meet Rhino (groom) and Hippo (bride):


Kyle and I took some family pictures since we were all gussied up.


My favorite part of the reception was the sweets table. This was the party favor. Everyone got a bag to fill up with candy to take home.


Isn't the sweets table cute!

Val found a wedding cake designer that matches the cake to the dress. Isn't that insane? I thought she did an excellent job. The cake was beautiful!!!

My Dad and Val surprised everyone, putting together a medley of dances, from swing to hip-hop. This is my dad attempting the hip-hop section:

Then, on to the dirty part. Weston had to remove the garter with his mouth. It was pretty funny.

The party came to an end, and the bride and groom were off to start their happy marriage together.

In the meantime, the bridesmaids were all blistered up! But well worth it!

Best of Luck to Weston and Val
We love you guys!
