We did it! We got everyone up and out the door at 3 am. Mark didn't even feel tired! The kids were feeling perky enough to take out a couple giant airport cinnamon rolls. The sugar helps ease the shock of mom saying yes to buying....anything.
I also forgot that Heidi was receiving alerts on her phone from the cameras installed in Mom's garage. So that's a fun all-night show!
In truth, I was kinda glad someone knew in detail how I sacrifice for this family!
Repackaging the heavenly cilantro dressing into smaller containers. More fun than as a team!
Megan and Mark made 150 tortillas
Not everyone was feeling the same levels of wedding related stress.
And Jordan was ironing my dress
We sent our adult kids off to the reception center to drop off the luncheon food and plug in all the crock pots. I commenced praying for them to make it to the temple in time...
I don't have many photo yet, since I decided to let the photographer do her job and just be in the moment. I soaked it all up. All the love and all the joy and all the family.
Mathew MC'd the wedding shoe game and it was so adorable! He did a great job.
We took a break after the luncheon, frantically packing away the ridiculous amount of leftovers and running them over to the fridges and freezers in Kaira and Jordan's temporary apartments. In a blink of an eye, we were putting our shoes back on, touching up makeup and back to the reception center.
Ethan and I danced to the acoustic version of 'Take On Me' by a-ha. That moment will forever live in the happy places of my heart.
Cutting the cake!
A room full of love and happiness!
Some of my favorite guests of the night. Sam, Kylie and Miranda. Love these kids like they are my own!
Like I said, these are just the few photos that we snapped throughout the day. I will add the professional ones later! But, oh my heart, what a day. The memory will bring me happy tears forever.
