my little sister is a married woman

These two people are so ridiculously happy together. We were glad to share in their special day. It was a quick weekend for us - fly in, fly out. We got to my parents home in time to taste the first fruits of dad's new pizza oven. Dad and my brother, Jared, worked for hours in the outdoor kitchen making pizza after pizza for a house full of friends and family. Cori jumped into the action and was part of the pizzeria madness too. (Can't wait for some Christmas Eve pizza Dad, hint, hint...) 

The original W* crew plus the newbie!

Their wedding day was rainy, sleety, and then snowy. These are all unofficial photos from the day, most of which were taken by Sara's new brother-in-law and which I then happily snagged from Sara's FB page. I'm sure the official pictures are even more beautiful.

In between the temple ceremony and the reception, we chilled back at home. Kevin's mom laid out an excellent lunch for the crowd.

Then it was up to Tahoe. The reception venue was cozy and intimate. It was perfect for the weather outside and for Sara and Kevin. We took some more pictures and then enjoyed the rest of the evening. Well, I finally started enjoying the evening once I was done giving one of the few toasts of the evening. Curse you public speaking! But part of my plan was having Gracie sing. She did so well and it took a lot of the pressure off of me. The food was fantastic. It was heartwarming hearing from the people who spoke, especially Kevin and Sara. And then once the DJ/MC was let loose, it was a partay! Eden cried every time we tried to pry her from the dance floor. 

Grace worked hard to protect the cake. Eden only stuck her finger in it once. That we saw.

We hit the donut bar before the guests showed up. Yes, I said the donut bar. Best reception ever? Maybe, though I'm a little partial to ours as well. :)

 We love Uncle Jared.

Kevin wasn't the only one getting a little love on the old honeymoon. Congrats Sara and Kevin! Your happiness is so well deserved.
