THE WEDDING RECEPTION

I am finally posting some photos of Natalie's reception. I have been waiting because we didn't get many good close up photos. In fact I don't have ONE photo of my little family. We left the camera in the car while we were taking those and spaced doing it later. So here is a brief overview of the evening. Natalie and Trent greeting visitors. We set up all these tents in the rain, but didn't need them!

My cute cousins yes, (even the ones on the left are considered my cousins) and Grandma enjoying food under the large tent.

The water table. My mom has such a good eye for decorating, every table was beautiful.

Obviously cutting the cake. The most unflattering photo of me, but the only one we got all night. Anna LOVED eating the cake and had to do it all by herself with a fork!

The amazing Buffet!!

Little groomsmen and flower girl, they were so cute together all night, they even danced on the dance floor with one another.

My little cutie! She looked adorable, but was a little handful. (Toddler around a stream and pool, not my idea of a fun time).
Dancing with Daddy.

The bridesmaids wore black dresses with a red sash and red high heels. I got my first pair of red high heels! Then, a bunch of Natalie's friend came wearing black and red as well. Obviously the ones with the red sashes are the bridesmaids.

A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING... including the weather!

Natalie and Trent are now married! They met 6 years ago, the actual week that Dave and I were married. They have been through a lot together and are now married for time and eternity. I am so thrilled for my sister. We had a FABULOUS day. The weather was suppose to be "wet, raining all day, with scattered thunderstorms." I am thankful to report that the weather man were only partially right about the rain and thunderstorms, it came and went between the luncheon and reception only lasted for 1 or 2 hours! And it was overcast during all the pictures at temple (perfect for photos), and blue sky (though a little cold) at the reception. We were nervous towards the end of the reception and prepared ourselves for a wet cleanup (it was an outdoor wedding), however we had beautiful clear skies until 1:30 AM (yes we were up until then, though part of it was relaxing for a moment in the hot tub :).

Here are photos of the beginning of the day, I am posting some of my favorites, they aren't all the picturesque poses, I will leave that up to the photographer. Pictures of the reception will come later...

My cousin Whitney and I

I love the classic child pictures. HA!

Such a cutie!

The Miner Family

All the siblings, this picture makes me so happy! And a bit teary, I love my sibs more and more each day.

The Young sisters went all over the valley to Target stores to get us prepared for rain. Luckily we didn't need the umbrellas, but they made for cute pictures!

Being goofy, I told them to jump and this is what happened.. yes they are a bit giddy as they should be.

This is Franny, our "adopted" sister, she and Natalie have been best friends since Junior High. She basically lived at our house and we LOVE her! I am so glad you came Franny. I will email you lots more cute pictures. I love this moment- you being the umbrella holder!

Such a fun morning!
