Chelsea's Wedding

We just returned home from a very emotional trip to Oregon and Idaho. There were some highs and lows but in general it was a good trip. Let's start with the beginning and why we headed to Oregon in the first place, my sister got married! It's crazy to say that, but we are so excited for them!

I was a slacker when it came to buying plane tickets so we ended up driving to Oregon (which actually worked best after all was said and done) and then Adam flew back to get back to work. We drove up starting on Wednesday September 28th and got to stay with some friends to split the trip up. Thanks so much Debbie and Eduardo! Next time we'll have to stay longer because we miss them so much! So we arrived in Oregon on Thursday and the wedding festivities were already underway. My parents' house was full of people from both the bride and groom's families eating dinner and making acquaintances.

The following day was Chelsea and Wyatt's big day! My mom and all my sisters (plus a couple of friends who are basically sisters) crammed in my parents bathroom to get ready together. Chels was in the middle of the bathroom being pampered, getting her hair and makeup done (props to Lindsay and Chrissy for hair and makeup). Then there was a sister standing in the bathtub with a mirror, mom standing in front of the main bathroom mirror, and I brought in another mirror to sit on the floor so I could get ready too. It was jam-packed, but so much fun to chat with the girls while we got ready.

Our tattoos on our ankles say "Bridesmaids" and Chelsea's says "Bride"

Chelsea and Wyatt were sealed together in the Portland, Oregon LDS Temple. It was a beautiful ceremony and to see them so happy was amazing. After pictures were taken, we headed over to the luncheon. Cassidy, Lindsay and I wrote a silly song for Chelsea and Wyatt that we were supposed to sing at the luncheon but because of technical difficulties, we couldn't sing it until the reception when there were more people to listen to our horrible amazing voices.

He sure loves his Papa!

Five and a half years and two kids later we get to be at the same place where we were married!

Sisters! 

My boys! Handsome, right?

Everyone went their separate ways from the luncheon to go finish up some last minute setup for the reception, feed babies, and freshen up. Then we all met up for the reception at the cutest little barn about 10 minutes from my parents house.

They had a line for guests to come congratulate them and say hi. Then when that was finished, the bride and groom were able to take a little break to eat some pie and lemonade. When they were done, everyone headed upstairs for some dancing, cake cutting, and to hear our debut.

After a while of dancing, we sent the bride and groom off with sparklers and a saran wrapped car!

Now they are a newly married couple trying to figure out life while in school and working. We are so proud of you guys! Good luck on your next adventure!
