Grant's sister Melissa married her sweetheart, Justin, on October 14th in the Draper, Utah, temple. It was a beautiful day for a wedding!
Eliot and cousin Cole with the happy couple. Eliot's weird facial expression? Working on a fruit snack stuck in his teeth, of course.
My handsome boys at the reception. The reception center, the clubhouse at the Sleepy Ridge golf course in Orem, was so pretty!
Me with my handsome little devil before the reception.
My favorite memories of the day:
- The sealing was simple and beautiful and reminded me of my own. In lieu of marriage advice, the sealer walked the couple through the covenants they were about to make. I know I appreciated the repetition on my wedding day, since I may or may not have been in La la land!
- Seeing my sister-in-law so perfectly happy. She just glowed and grinned the whole day.
- Eliot as a dance machine out on the dance floor. He could not help himself when a song with a heavy beat came on! Great fun.
- Hearing both Eliot and his cousin Mikey bust out with "All the single ladies ..." over and over again for days after the wedding after hearing it for maybe 30 seconds before the bouquet toss. Awesome. Grant hates it.
- Getting my hair done (the cute girl who cut my hair that week offered to style it for me the morning of). It was fun to get fancied up -- I haven't felt that pretty for a long time (day-to-day mommy wear isn't that glamorous, I guess!).
- The chocolate bread pudding with caramel sauce. Normally not a bread pudding fan. But how can you go wrong with anything ooey gooey chocolate and caramel?! Amazing!

I made it last week. All I can say is I better hide the recipe away from myself. Yum, yum, yum!
And, you look great in that pic with Eliot. :) Weddings are such happy occasions!!!
Monica- you are a knock out! You look absolutely gorgeous in that picture with Eliot! And Morgen sings that song too- he learned it from watching Alvin and the Chipmunks- good times.
Looks and sounds like an amazing day! AND, you look AMAZING!! Bow chica wow wow!!
Okay, that is hilarious about the boys. I read it and was like, "What?" Ali said, "Didn't I tell you about that?" and then mimicked the whole thing for me. I was laughing! What boys we have.
