The wedding

Justin and Laura’s wedding was at the hotel in a tent just off the lobby. Although I don’t know if I’d consider it a tent! It seemed more like a fancy large room and it had air conditioning, which was a good thing because it was extremely hot that day. Before the wedding we were all gathered down in the lobby visiting and waiting for the ceremony to start. I tried to get a good picture of the 3 younger flower girls but they wouldn’t sit still long enough. I think they were all excited for the big event.

Each of the flower girls (there were 5 total) were giving a flower basket and a pretty flower bracelet to wear. Karisa wanted flower pedals in her basket (thankfully Laura’s aunt didn’t put them in the baskets until they walked down the aisle) so she compromised and started ripping the flowers off her pretty bracelet and putting them in her basket. By the time the wedding started her bracelet was looking pretty plain! Then just before the wedding started Justin told all the little kids (Jacob, Mallorie, Riley, Emma, Karisa and MaKena) if they walked down the aisle they would get a sucker from him. Well the time came and Jacob walked down first and did great. Then Mallorie and Riley walked down and did great. Now was the big test! Emma, Karisa and MaKena started walking down the aisle. Karisa made it about 10 steps and turned around and ran back to Jerene. MaKena and Emma made it down to uncle Justin and were rewarded with their suckers. It was cute. (Karisa got a sucker too!)

Then Laura came. Boy, she looked beautiful. It was a very nice ceremony and before we knew it they were married and we were off the reception and dance.
