Almost one month ago--- Oct. 12th to be exact--- my
little sister got married! It was crazy because the last wedding I was really
involved in was my own and that was over a year ago.
The day started off at a luncheon the grooms side
put together at this old church building up in Salt Lake. This building was
built around 1850 I believe.
I love old buildings like this one that still have a lot of
their original workmanship and everything. This church had a balcony in the chapel area
and a lot of detailed carvings on the pulpit and walls, along with other things you don't see in LDS churches today.
The building on the right is where
the luncheon was held. We’re not sure if that was originally built with the
church or if it was added later on. We think that side was used for social
events.

It was a really great luncheon. We
got to meet my sister’s husbands family for the first time (they live in
Colorado) and found them all to be great people.
The next thing on the agenda was the actual
sealing! I was really excited to be able to be there in the temple to witness
this. This was the first sealing I had been to since my own and it was such a
great experience just being in the audience. I love the feeling you get when you are
in the temple, and then to be there to witness your own sibling being sealed
makes that feeling that much better!
My sister got married in the Salt
Lake temple like I did and it was nice to reflect back and have those memories go through my head of when
Lance and I got married. I
remember coming up the stairs and walking out the doors to see our family and
friends. This time I was on the other side of the doors looking in, waiting for
the happy couple to walk out.

It had been raining off and on all
day and we were all nervous it would rain while we were trying to take
pictures. Luckily we only got a little drizzle during the picture taking but it
was when we were finishing up.

Next came the reception at this
really pretty reception hall. There was a dressing room specifically for the bride’s
maids and bride to get ready before the reception. I found that to be quite
cool.
It’s still sinking in that my baby
sister is married. I can already tell this is how I’ll feel when my brothers
get married too. I am so happy for my sister though, she has patiently been
waiting for this day and I’m so glad she found a guy that treats her like the
queen she is!
The next day my family got to go
with Lance and I to a BYU football game. The game was an afternoon game so
Lance’s brother and some of his friends put together a tailgate party that they
so graciously let us join in on.
During the tailgate two things go
on; eating and playing this game called corn hole. For some reason No pictures were taken of us
playing but we got a picture when the BYU cheerleader’s came over to throw the corn
hole bags.
It was a beautiful day, weather
wise, not so much when it came to the game. The game was still fun to be at and
it was great having my family there with us.
We slacked when it came to
capturing our Saturday adventures but Lance was good and at least got these
pictures of my family preparing for bed at our apartment.

It was a great weekend seeing my
sister get married and getting to be with my family for a few days!
