Chelsea Wedding

When we got to Mesa the weather was fabulous. What a difference from Canada. We check into our hotel and relaxed until it was time to go. Tyler and I were both so excited. We hadn't seen the Braithwaites in five and a half years. They use to live behind us when we weren't so active at church. What a great example they were to us. When they moved to St. George we went down twice and that was the last time we saw them. They had no clue we were coming to the wedding reception. As we walked in all their mouths dropped. Chelsea and Laurie both started to tear up. It was such a great feeling to see them. We totally disrupted the line. Chelsea told us that us being there had made her wedding complete.
I teared up several times that night as I watched each of them together. I can honestly say that I don't know a closer family. All I wanted was for my family to be like theirs. I will just have to explain the photos so that you can see what I am talking about. They had it decorated with lighted trees and snowflakes hanging from the ceiling. They had the cutest hot cocoa bar. I think that they must miss Utah just a little and then they snap out of it.
The only thing I would have change about this night was the camera that I used. :-( I didn't get they greatest shots. I had to be up close for them to work.

Chelsea is so beautiful!

Bride and groom

Lonny and his little girl doing the father daughter dance. On the side of the dance floor the other kids were crying. What an awesome experience.
