So there was this one time when one of my best friends got married and then another one of my best friends got married the day after that. For both weddings I was a bridesmaid and, don't get me wrong I loved it, but I am exhausted! I have kinda been crashing today. My cute roommate kellie-Jo got married and Meredith, a friend from savior of the world and roommate from Provo got married as well. For both brides I was in charge of their bachelorette parties and had a blast throwing them! Here are some pics!
Then came their weddings!! Kellie's was first and got to do her hair and make-up! That was fun to be apart of despite going to bed at 2:30 and having to wake up at 4:20.
I adore Mark and my Kell Bell. It's amazing to me how easy it was for kellie and I to connect when I moved in. Her other two bridesmaids were her sister and her best friend since 7th grade so the fact that she chose me as one of them was so sweet. We really did become dear friends quickly. The reception was a blast and I even got to stand in the line!
Then Mere's! I have loved watching Meredith and Steve together. He truly treats her like gold. Even the way he speaks to her - the tone he uses. He is so kind to her. And they are hilarious to watch too. It was an honor to be included in all of their festivities as well. It was also fun because Meredith and I know a lot of the same people from savior of the world so it was a bit of a reunion! Pics ahead:
What fun times. Remind me that I HAVE to have a dance party at my wedding reception. It's necessary. So fun. On a more serious note about attending a temple sealing for the first time. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. The veil was thin and it was so apparent that those marriages were of God - His presence and approval could be felt throughout all of the celebrations. The promises and blessings made in that ceremony are worth any sacrifice that could be asked of us. I loved watching such dear friends experience such beautiful and eternal things. I love the temple and I love love and I love our Heavenly Father's perfect plan!
Now to go catch up on some much needed sleep....
