Guess who is getting married? Eliza and Joseph have been dating a while and finally decided to tie the knot. Since Eliza's family just moved and she didn't really know that many people where they lived, she decided to get married where a lot of the family were and chose a temple on the Wasatch front. This is the key to having the kind of wedding that is my favorite. When you have a wedding at a location that is not your home, it becomes a party with your favorite people, family and friends. The people who love you the most make the effort to be there. So they decided on the Manti Temple, which is near my parents. It was a beautiful setting and very cold. I do love the colors as well. I think it is periwinkle.

Next instead of having a luncheon and then a reception, we had it all together right in the middle of the day. No waiting, just go to the next location which was the local Junior College. Beautiful place settings, a catered buffet with an ice cream bar to boot.
They had a short program, the Dad's Toast, and the cutting of the cake.
Then they moved the tables out or back and
we had a super fun dance. starting with the parents and the new groom and
bride, then the first dance as a married couple. Then everyone joined
in and had a blast. The bride and groom also did a little ballroom
dancing and the bride surprised us with the worm.
Then we ended the night with the pyramid, the bouquet throw and the garter throw.
Then at about 4:00ish, they changed their clothes, walked through the crowd, walked through our line up as we rang our jingle bells,
Got into their decorated car and drove off to go on their honeymoon. It was awesome!
