My Little Sister's Wedding

My little sister Tina got married in June! We are 16 months apart, and grew up sharing most everything including a room and sometimes bed. It's crazy to see your little sister married. It just seems like little sisters shouldn't be allowed to do such things! Well she did, and it was a really fun day!

Her colors were green and purple, and so my oldest sister and I decided to make matching ties for the boys to wear to the reception. This was my first time making a tie, and I sewed it all wrong and had to start all over. The second time came out much better, although not perfect. It took a lot longer then I thought! I was much more patient when I was in labor with Dallin then I was making this tie.

 Then I decided to make some extra bow ties for my nephews who would also be at the reception. It was a simpler pattern to follow, but once again I sewed it all wrong and had to pull out the seams and start over again! Sewing does not come naturally to me! They turned out really cute though, and it was fun to have all the boys in matching ties:)

 Dallin doesn't look very happy, but he actually did a lot of dancing at the reception and had fun with his cousins.

My older sister Aimee surprised Tina by coming to her wedding all the way from Florida! She brought her newest baby Levi with her. It was so fun to have her there!

Tina and Christian had a photo booth at their reception, and it was really fun taking pictures. I loved having something to take home as a little memento:)

The blushing bride in her gorgeous dress! This was right before she was going to toss her bouquet.

Apparently there were no adult single ladies at the reception, because only small children were present to catch the bouquet. Brenna reached out to grab it as it was coming down, and it hit her in the face. This was no small throw bouquet, it was heavy and had lots of stems at the bottom, and so it did some minor damage.

 So as Brenna is bawling from the cuts on her face, Brooke comes over to announce that she got the bouquet, although Brenna's face touched it first.

  Fortunately, Brenna was OK, other then having some nasty scrapes on her face. We had a lot of fun dancing, eating tasty foods, and visiting with family and friends. Once we saw these little prints next to the chocolate cake, and Dallin covered in chocolate, we called it a night:)
