Brenna & Eli's Wedding Day 6-19-10

Me and Grandma all ready to head to the temple for the wedding. She ALWAYS looks so amazing and stylish.

Brenna and Eli were married in the Provo temple at 11:30 am. They were married by President Bateman who is the current temple president and the former President of BYU. It was an amazing sealing ceremony.

Proud & happy parents of the bride.
Brandon and I in front of the temple we were married in 5 years and 2 day ago.
The reception was held at the Lewis Residence (my mom's best friends backyard) from 6-9. The best way to describe the event was Casual Elegance.

My mom does flowers and with help of course made all the arrangements for the wedding. They turned out beautiful!

We took some pictures before guest started arriving for the reception. All of the bridesmaid wore matching dresses made by mom Aunt Carol. She also made my mothers dress which I don't think I have a picture of, but she was a knockout. All of Eli's friends wore matching gray suits with gray vans.
On the left of Brenna are the Woolstenhulme sisters and to her right are the Borup sister's.

Isn't this the most AMAZING wedding dress ever made? I am in love with it. I also had a short wedding dress but it wasn't quite this amazing. She looked stunning!
Talk about Stunning, Brandon looks so good!
Here is a picture of the event just starting.
When the sun went down you can see the lights strung all across the backyard, it was really romantic.
Here are a few of the girls (my cousins kids) that helped out at the reception with keeping the buffet stocked and clearing away empty plates. Don't they look cute in their matching outfits. My mom, Carol-Lyn & Aunt Carol made the aprons for the girls to wear and then they got to keep them and the shirts (I found) as a thank you for helping out.
Instead of having a regular sign in book my mom hired a PHOTOBOOTH like the ones in the mall. There was a table full of funny cute props you could use to dress up in and then take 4 pictures. It printed out 2 strips with your pictures on them. One strip you glued into a darling photo book my sister made and wrote a note next to your photos. The other strip you got to keep, Brandon and mine turned out so awesome. I should scan it in so everyone can see.
Her wedding cake was SO DELICIOUS. I couldn't stop eating it. Honestly the BEST cake I have probably ever had.
You can't go to a mormon wedding reception without a candy station. It was my job to set up & decorate this table. I think it turned out perfect.
And if 2 kinds of cake and a huge candy table was not enough sugar there was a SHAVED ICE station. NOT just your average SNOW CONE either, it has a big scoop of vanilla ice cream at the bottom of the cone and sweet and condensed milk drizzled over the top. It was a huge hit.
I got half cotton candy half tigers blood and Brandon had half cotton candy half blue hawaii.
To go along with the YUMMY dinner we had freshly squeezed lemonade. For dinner there was all beef hot dogs catered by J-Dogs and homemade Baked Beans and Potato Salad. I should have taken a picture of the cute tins we used for the plates.

When Brenna and Eli left the reception, they rode off a on a YELLOW TANDEM bike with cans on the back and flowers in the basket on the front. The driveway was lined on both sides with HUGE fireworks and everyone had one of those 2 foot long sparklers. It was a little smoky when all the fireworks were going off at the same time, but it was really cute.
