{My Brothers Wedding}

Well, there has been much that has happened. On November 21st my little brother Derek got married to Elli (Elizabeth). The week before their wedding was super busy. I was pretty much the wedding planner, and the photographer. I took their pictures, made their invite (which I accidentally put the wrong address on there for the reception-BIG OOOPS!) My best friend Kristin let us use her backdrop that she used for her wedding, as well as the tablecloths. Her mom did their wedding video-BIG thanks to Annette. I made the centerpieces, my beautiful friend Megan made the flowers. She came over and we put the flowers in the centerpieces. We were running around the night before getting last minute stuff and we were at the church until 2:30 in the morning. The day of the wedding Jasons parents watched the boys, Tyler drove with us to the Temple (Salt Lake) and the ceremony was beautiful. It was done in English and Spanish which was fun. Elli's Mom is just a fantastic person. She is so sweet and funny. It was cold, but thankfully no rain or snow. Can I just say it was hard to be the photographer, but also to be in the pictures. We left the temple, and when we got home i had to hurry and fix some pictures and send them to be printed so we could have them for the reception. At this point everyone else was eating Soup in breadbowls (i had only had 2 rolls to eat the entire day and it was now 5:30). Oh, and I guess the wedding cake melted a little bit, and when they got to the house it had fallen... sad! They managed to save the bottom layer and my aunt Jenny ran and got a new layer for the top. They hurried and decorated it at the reception which started at 6. I felt like a chicken running around with my head cut off. The reception was fun. After the line they had dancing. That was a blast. So many people were dancing and having fun. We said goodbye to Derek and Elli and started to clean up. We were out of there by 11:30. Not bad I would say, but I was wiped out! And i was also glad to have it done with and over. No more stressin. And I know that I will never ever want to be a wedding planner, photographer is the only part I will partake in for weddings. I will have more posts coming soon. Life has been busy, and many things going on.
