The Temple

I truly do not have the words to describe the feelings of watching your child kneel across an altar and make eternal covenants. It almost feels too sacred.

But here's some pictures!





I love my boys!!! All four of them!



Brady, Lauren's life long friend.


If you are related to us you are in the picture. Add about 25 people and that's the crowd we had at the temple!!! Notice Rachel who sat down and refused to get up or smile!! It was hot and there were a ton of people, it was too much for my girl.






I love this...Rachel wouldn't stand, so the girls all sat down for her.



What a good looking bunch!! (Rachel had a melt down and refused to stand or even smile, so she's not in these pictures. But she was a little bridesmaid and looked so cute!)







The mothers of the Bride.






Jennie, Candy, Gentry, Tracie and Brady






I cried all my make-up off!






My most very favorite people, all in one picture.

what a wonderful day! I love the flowers! you looked fabulous in the brown. Your words made me think about when I kneeled across the altar from my husband. We got to have our 4 kids there with us. I can't wait to watch them kneel with their eternal companion!

I suddenly regret not having pink and brown for our wedding colors.

Such a beautiful wedding! Wow. I'm just tearing up over here at how happy everyone looks!

Love every single picture! I especially loved the pictures of all of the bridesmaids and the lovely bride sitting on the steps. I think that made the picture and moment even more special.

I love weddings!

My favorite picture is the one where Lauren has her arm around Rachel and they are talking! So cute!

Fun pictures! She looks so happy and beautiful! And you look so proud and beautiful! I love that you cried all your make-up off!

I love how you opened this post. It gave me chills.

Those are lovely, lovely, pictures. I love how all of the girls sat down for Rachel. It made me teary.

I would have cried off all of my makeup, too...but, HONESTLY you. look. beautiful. Okay, now I am crying quite steadily...what is the matter with me?

I just get verklempt...they have each other for eternity. All of you look so happy!

I love the groomsmen pic where they are hoisting up the handsome Skyler. So fun :)

Lovely wedding! Now I want the reception pics! Oh, by the way, you don't know me so I guess I really can't be so demanding! sorry! I read you every day, just started and have my friend, "Life in Red Shoes" reading you too. You are our kind of gal!! I am 50-ish, LDS, Utahn, educator. Have given one very hands-on wedding for my daughter and just had a son married. Much easier and cheaper being the parents of the groom! Keep up the goodwork!

The photo of your two daughters made me tear up. So so lovely!

You guys look great! I am still so happy you had me come to be a part of such a special day.

So beautiful, so very special, poor Rachel might feel like she's losing her sister forever! I loved the shot where they all sat down for her and the two girls (daughters) together, that was neat. The family pictures are great, you have every right and deserve to be so proud!

Love her dress, love the brides maids dresses, love the flowers, looks like it was just splendid and perfect. Although I need a picture of the cake, I didn't get to see the final choice.

So, my mom (mszkan) and her friend Bridgette (life in red shoes) found your blog and introduced me to it, so I had to say hi!

Love the blog, love the wedding, and just wanted to say hi!

I love all of these pictures! Everyone looks so good! The colors are amazing, the flowers, the dresses...I can't wait until my little girl gets married!!!

I think Rachel had the right idea for sitting. The bridesmaid picture looks very cute with all of them sitting.

I'm so excited for your daughter. Being married is awesome and it is so fun to see others figure that out.
