My Sister is Married

Everything about the wedding turned out so wonderfully!! It all began Saturday, March 19th at the LDS Los Angeles temple, where we took lots and LOTS of pictures to commemorate the occassion.The ever-growing family.
Some of us got a little bored when it wasn't our turn and posed for our own pictures.


After a tremendous luncheon, we went back to my parents house for a few more pictures before the festivities began:


Then there was the most beautiful reception. Hopefully everything Aubrey always dreamed it would be, because it was gorgeous!! From the white tulips and wall of mirrors...To the plate sign in table...To the dessert table...Which wouldn't be complete without the most amazing wedding cake I have ever seen (I had major cake envy)...Of course there was the food, it was absolutely fantastic, delicious paninis...And Dallen had a brief love affair with coconut cupcakes!!
And then there was the dancing!! Oh, the dancing...One of my favorite pictures from my wedding was captured during the emotional Father/Daughter dance. I just know that this will be one of Aubrey's favorites as well...One of my personal faves of the night, Matt stranded on the dance floor, yelling for his Mom :) Classic.I may or may not have cried dancing with my little brother who is leaving way too soon.
And the perfect ending for the couple, a motorcycle ride through a sparklers tunnel!!
It was an incredibly magical day and already seems like it happened forever ago. Good thing I can relive it whenever I want on the Mormon Bachelorette blog :) Congratulations Matt and Aubrey, we love you!!
