Chris and Kristen's Wedding

So, first off I need to express my complaint before I mix my complaining with my brother's perfect wedding. So here it is, I LOOKED LIKE A COW! Too harsh you say...not so! The dress I ordered (which I admit I hadn't tried on since I bought it 1 1/2 months before the wedding) did not fit so it hung below my waist when it was supposed to sit above my hips-the effect was hideous! I looked so frumpy it was ridiculous. Also, for some unknown reason I wore black tights (I HAVE NEVER WORN TIGHTS SINCE I WAS LIKE 8!!!!) and it looked so dumb standing in beautiful sunny California weather in heavy ugly black tights-WHY OH WHY did no one tell me I looked like a freak!? Then, to top it all off the curlers I bought wouldn't get hot enough to actually curl my hair so it was sort of a wavy mess so I put it up...UGHH.

Okay, I'm done, now on to the wedding...

Their wedding was absolutely perfect! It was a sunny California day when we arrived at the beautiful San Diego temple on Saturday morning. The sealing was amazing-Jon and I cried through the whole thing. Chris and Kristen just beamed the whole day. The following reception at her home was very comfy and friendly and our boys loved eating cake and candy and running around their putting green in the back yard. Kristen was honestly the most beautiful bride I have ever seen (and I am even including models)! I am so glad my little brother found such a wonderful girl for his wife and my new sister (in-law but that's close enough). Congrats you two!

I thought this pic was so funny with the Angel Moroni sticking out of Kai's head.

The sealing reminded us of our temple covenants.

So exhausted with one more party to go.

Josh, you know you love wearing that suit.
