So for those of you who weren't aware... I had left Tuesday the 21st to spend a week back home at my dad's farm. He had paid for both my older brother and I(younger bro was already there) to fly up for the wedding since we were all participating in it. My sister and I were bridesmaids and both my brothers were groomsmen, both our nephews were ring bearers, the best man was an good ol' friend of my dad's, the maid of honor was her neice, and her 3 son's walked her down the aisle.

It was a western-themed wedding and it was soooo cool! I promise I'll post pics once I get a copy of the CD, but for now I'll just describe it. ^_^ The guys wore cowboy hats, cowboy boots, fancy pantsy black shirts(except my dad and nephews who wore a white shirt with a black vest and string ties) and black jeans with western belt clips. The bridesmaids had a kinda fancy long midnight blue dress, silver sandals, rhinestone bracelets and earrings, and wildflower bouquets tied with blue handkerchiefs. On the alter they put a pair of my dad's old brown leather cowboy boots with wildflowers in them and the tables each had glass cowboy boot mugs with handkerchiefs around them filled with wildflowers. The cake's topper was a lasso shaped like a heart and there were two horseshoe-shaped cakes beside it. The ring pillow had a white cowboy hat and a black one in the middle above the bow, and a little lasso in the corner. They were planning on playing a western tune similar to Bonanza for the recessional (it started with an R.. Reignhide rein hi.. I dunno lol) and little ring bearer boys were going to gallop out after the bride and groom, but unfortunately the pianist's grandson was in a pool accident and had to be airlifted to the hospital. We aren't sure of the status, but there was a prayer for him at the begining of the ceremony and we went off a CD instead so it was just a regular song for the ending.

Did I mention the wedding took place on National Cowboy Day?

Following the ceremony, we had dinner at the at the church with sparkling champaign that was blahhh XP. Food was good though. I think the best part of dinner was watching my grandma make funny faces while my aunt gave a crazy long speech for her twin brother and his new wife. XD The wedding party opened the dance, and while I had danced with my younger brother, my dad, my friend's brother, and my dad another couple times.. I speant most of the night with my crazy little nephews who wouldn't let me off the floor XD

The next day we had a family reunion and I got to catch up with my favoritest Uncle and Aunt who I got to meet up with the following summer which was the first time since I was 4 at his wedding! They want me to come visit them sometime in Utah.

My dad got married, I now have 7.5 siblings(3 brothers 1 half sister, 2 step-sisters, 3 step-brothers), I passed on the "Happy Apple Juice" at the dance, and got invited to visit my Aunt and Uncle some time in Utah.
