Wedding weekends are my favorite kind of weekends. Basically, I was wishing it was my wedding all over again. BUT, it was so fun to celebrate another family member's wedding and be able to sit back to enjoy it with everyone. David's sister, Jen, got married this weekend to Phe (Christopher) Brooks. It was a nonstop party and we had such a good time. Plus, they were just stunning. We are so happy for them!
First off, let me start with Thursday night when we went out to eat with David's family at Guru's. The boys were having a great time with the hair extensions, and it was hilarious.

Like father, like son. Disgusting, huh?
So here's the start of all the wedding festivities:
Friday, we went to Tucanos for lunch with the Drake side of the family. It was so fun (and so delicious). This was the "kids" table:

We then went through the temple that afternoon with Jen and Phe and it was amazing. I love the temple! After the session, there was a family dinner that night that Phe's parents threw. It was so delicious and beautiful. Here are the bride and groom giving their speeches/toasts

Then it was finally the wedding day! They got married in the Salt Lake Temple and it was just amazing. The sealer that married us also sealed them, so it was such a special ceremony for us all. Salt Lake also looked gorgeous with a dusting of snow. Here we are in front of the temple:
Here they are after the temple ceremony!
And here they are with some snowy pictures
And the best photographer's assistant ever:
Then it was back to Orem for the reception. It was at a golf course named Sleepy Ridge, and it was stunning! I could not get over the draping on that chandelier.
And the cake table was beautiful as well.
Great food...
...and great company.
It was an amazing wedding and reception! We had a blast and it was the perfect excuse to not study for finals...speaking of which, I should probably start studying. Congratulations Jen and Phe, we wish you guys all the best :)
Thanks for the great recap, Meegan! I don't follow Instagram, so hadn't seen some of these. I can't wait for the professional photos! It was so wonderful to see you and David. Thank you for all of your help! You are such an awesome team. You looked beautiful the entire weekend...as usual. :) I love you and couldn't possibly ask for a better daughter in law. See you in a week. :)
