Marriage. Marriage is What Brings us Together Today. (Think of the priest from Princess Bride!)

June was a very exciting month for our family. We began with a birthday (I'll write about that later!). The next two weeks were filled with cleaning, packing, organizing, and left over eating in preparation for our trip to Utah! We left on Tuesday the 14th but the real excitement was Saturday the 18th when Brandon (Tyler's Brother) married his beautiful bride Amy in the Salt Lake Temple. Of course the kids were much more excited about their fancy new clothes, eating yummy cake, playing kitchen in the nursery room and dancing at the reception. Here are a few pics:



While I was upstairs getting ready for the evening, Tyler thought to take a few pics of the kids before the craziness began!


The reception started out at Amy's Aunt's home, but was later moved to the local church building due to the weather. Do you like the dress? It has a fun story. Looking for a "Coral Dress" wasn't going well and during one of our weekly playgroups I told a friend about my delimma. She went home and did some research and found this dress at Down East Basics. It was perfect! The dress was sold out online and there wasn't a store in Gainesville so I called Marilyn and she went shopping for me. Happily, she found one! Unfortunately, and fortunately, there was only one left and it was a medium. Having just had that adorable baby there in the picture, this left me in pickle. I knew when mom bought the dress there was no way I'd fit into it. So I spent the month before the wedding exercising and eating salad (I got very burnt out on salad) to make sure I fit into it. I can't even begin to tell you how yummy all of the desserts at the wedding tasted!

After six and a half years of marriage, three children, having survived law school and Tyler's LLM program, we look pretty good!

 Brandon and Amy tied the knot. Cake was eaten, the pictures turned out well, the mom's cried and the children behaved. The wedding was a success! Brandon and Amy left on their honeymoon Saturday night and then....THE FUN BEGAN!!
