I love weddings.
I love being a part of them.
But mostly I love seeing my friends so happy.
I feel like there is something special in watching someone you love go through ups and downs to be with the one they love.
And when they finally make it to the temple, its like a deep sigh of "Finally, they made it".
I'm grateful for the friends I've got to watch fall in love and eventually marry.
And this past weekend, I got to celebrate one of my best friends, Emily, on her wedding day.
Em and I lived together for two years and became such good friends.
And on Saturday, October 20, 2012 she was sealed to her best friend, Preston.
Bren and I got to be two of her bridesmaids and it was so fun.
We got all dressed up and drove to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.
Bren was my date for the day.
We make such a good couple, if I do say so myself. ;)
We got to see our other old roommate, Bri and her boyfriend, Mitch ^
Roommies, it was so good to see Bri.
The first sighting of Mr. and Mrs. Plowman!
They looked so happy!
I love Emily's face in this.
All of the bridesmaids.
They had their luncheon and reception at a place in Highland called Highland Gardens.
It was gorgeous, I loved it.
Brenna's mom made the cake and it turned out beautifully I thought.
We love our Emily.
The three of us were buds when we lived together.
We would stay up late and talk and cry and be goofy together.
We created some incredible memories together.
How grateful I am for their friendship.
We got to see Hannah too, another one of the old roommates.
It was fun to watch them cut the cake.
You can't really tell, but they used a HUGE sword to cut it!
And they shoved it into each others faces.
Some went down Emily's dress, and her face was priceless, wish I would have caught that on camera.
Daddy-daughter dance
And their first dance as Mr. and Mrs.
All of the roommates, minus Hannah.
I love these girls!
Bren, Me, and Jarom.
Emily and Preston have been through a lot to get to this point in their lives.
And I am so happy that they let me be a part of their big day.
There is always that small twinge of jealousy when I go to weddings
(Yes, I know, I'm only 22-almost 23, my time will come).
I look forward to that day that I get the chance to be sealed to my best friend and to have all my friends and family help celebrate.
However, I feel like I appreciate marriage and weddings so much more as I get older.
There is something so special about watching my friends go through this whole wedding thing. :)
Congratulations Em and Prest!
I couldn't be happier for you!
