"The One"

My baby sis has had some absolutely brilliant ideas for her wedding. You only get married once *wink*wink* so she should have her way right? Here are just two examples of this bride's ideas:


1. "Lets have the wedding and reception at Classic Skating! We can rent out the whole place and everyone can wear roller skates and play games!"


*cough*cough*


2. "I want to make my wedding dress entirely out of coffee filters!"


*ahem*


Thank God I was put on this earth to be her wedding planner and have vetoed every single one of her brilliant ideas.


She would be lost with out me...


So I grabbed her long fricken ponytail and dragged her wedding dress shopping. Something every bride has been dying to do since the day she played Barbie-marries-Ken-and-has-naked-baby-making-time-in-the-bedroom. Right?


I was determined to beat this anti-bride attitude out of her for good. She was loving it...





That dress above was my mom's favorite. I wasn't a fan of the whole side-swiping-into-the-flower-on-her-hip look.





This one would be beautiful if I could rip off that awkward looking fabric gathered under her boobs.





I was giddy when she started trying on the mermaid style wedding dresses. She has the perfect body for it: tall, skinny & curvy.








Is that a smile I see? My plan was working, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, she was getting more excited with each dress.





I wish these pictures could do her justice, but the only camera I had was my cell phone which has a tendency to turn anything gorgeous into some dark looking creature so the fact that she doesn't look like a gremlin in these photos goes to show how amazing she looked in real life!





Now this next one was her favorite from the first store we went to.





Again, the pictures do not do her justice, she looked gorgeous!





Now I about died when she tried this next one on and said she thought it was "The One".





I distinctly remember trying to swallow the lunch that I had just regurgitated in my mouth before trying to speak. I'm sorry, but this just looked cheap. Or maybe it's the whole side swipe look I didn't like.


No, it's because it looked cheap. There was no way in hell I was letting her walk out with that one.


No way.



Now this next one was MY favorite. I still can't get over the back of the dress, I wanted to die. Or rip it off her body and wear it out the door...





Isn't that gorgeous??


I'm sure you all want to know which dress she picked right? Well, it was none of the above and sadly I don't have a picture of her actually wearing the dress she picked, but I can tell you she chose the perfect dress! And by the way she was holding back her tears when she saw herself in the mirror, you could tell she had no doubt she had found

"The One"




So what's your favorite?

This.

So this:





Decided he wanted this:





So he bought her this:





And she gave him this:





(Her hand, not the ring.)



And now they are going to do this:





This:






And this:






ALL. THE. TIME.






(In case you didn't follow all that, my baby sis is gettin married!)

Butter Luck Next Time

It kind of just hit me that I have steppies. Yeah, I've got 2 sister steppies and 2 brother steppies.


Weird.


I've never had step siblings before, I'm only hoping this means more Christmas presents for me.


Me, and the hungry children of course. (I always think of the hungry children first.)


But, I think I like having steppies because it also means more weddings!




This is one of my new steppies Katie, she just got married isn't she gorgeous?






I loved her colors!





Never mind that her wedding was a month ago and I'm just barely posting about it....I haven't even posted about Easter yet! Fine, here's Katie and her new hubby on Easter:




You can tell they were made for each other.




The wedding was gorgeous, it was a beautiful day!






Everyone knows that I'm Logan's favorite but now I've got competition.




BIG competition.








Mike has been moving up in the ranks in Logan's opinion, but I'm destined to stay on top. This means war!






Ok, you may be wondering why I included a picture of the butter from our table at the wedding luncheon. Yes, the butter was great, one regular one raspberry, but that is not the reason why I took a picture.


I took a picture of the butter because of this girl:




She is constantly making me laugh....at her. So there we were, sitting at our table waiting for our food to be served and the servers come out and put the butter on the table first.


No rolls. No salad. Just butter.


As we continued to wait for the bride and groom I could see Lindee's face getting worried. I could tell she was really concerned. She continued to grow more and more anxious until she finally blurted out:


"I don't know why they brought out the ice cream before dinner, it's going to melt!"





And of course the table busted up laughing. Even the two strangers sitting at our table busted up.


I stupidly corrected her and told her it was butter, which I immediately regretted doing when Mike suggested that she eat it.


But it was too late, I had already opened my big mouth. After being with Mike for so long now I should have learned to keep my mouth shut and let her eat the butter.


Butter luck next time.

Something Borrowed, Something New, Something Else & Something Too

I am finally posting pictures from my mom's wedding. I was dubbed "photographer" for the shindig so these pics are all they have! Sad, I am NOT a photographer, I just take pictures.


I like to call myself a pictakerer instead.


Because I know how to push that big button on top of the camera and point it at things.


Anyway, Mom got married back in August. Yeah, AUGUST. Mom is Mormon and her and Bob got married in the temple. If you're wondering why there are no pictures of the actual ceremony it's because no cameras are allowed in the temple.


And no evil pictakerers are allowed inside either. Hence no ceremony pics....but we got plenty of pics outside the temple and at the wedding luncheon. So, check 'em out.
