Reception Pictures

I took these pictures outside of the Temple. Mom was so cold that she wrapped her scarf around her head and we thought she looked like she was the star of The Fiddler on the Roof. Matchmaker anyone? Breana's hair looked a mess in the wind and I was glad I had the pictures from the day before. That day when I did her hair at her house she didn't like the end result, I thought it looked like how I did it the day before but she was not happy with it. I couldn't fix it because she had to leave for the Temple and I was stressed. I told her I would fix it after her sealing and when it was all done I waited in the waiting room until they came and got me so I could go fix her hair. I needed up taking out all of the braids and started over. She was able to watch what I was doing in the mirror and it was working out much better this time. When I got done she said she loved it even more then the day before and boy was I relieved.
Her sealing was really nice, I always love listening to the advice the Sealers give and this one talked alot about his wife, who had passed on, and how much he loves her and missed her, it was sweet. Mom was Breana's escort and Andrew was one of her witnesses, I thought both choices were perfect. 
We thought we would have more time outside of the Temple to take pictures but nobody wanted to hang out in those elements so we got in our cars and headed over to the venue. We couldn't get in for another hour so we sat in our cars and visited with each other.

After we sat in the cars for forever we were finally able to get inside and help set things out. Breana had asked me if I would print some of her and Ben's engagement pictures for the reception. The venue already had frames I just had to bring the pictures I had printed and fill the frames, which I did. Once that was done I helped with food and then when there was nothing left to do I had some pictures taken in front of the cool backdrop.
Heather and I were taking some photos when Rylee popped in, we took a picture with her and then we did our traditional heart from behind picture.

I had Kefford take a picture with me
and Rylee wanted some with Atticus
We were missing Erin and Jeremy but it was nice to have most of my family here for the wedding. We were able to get a picture of all the siblings who were there with Mom...
And then we got the Bride in on the action and had her take a couple with us. I love her wedding dress, I thought it looked like a very beautiful bridal version of Morticia Adams, it was the perfect dress for a Friday the 13th wedding.
Trying to get a decent picture wth my family always takes a while
But we managed to get one with all of us looking happy!
