Jordan and Jenny's Wedding

On May 23rd Jordan and Jenny were sealed in the St. Louis temple.  We started all the wedding fun the night before.  My parents had a dinner for both families.  My Mom ordered food from Chevy's and made a few side dishes to go with it.  Everything was delicious and it was a nice to get both families together.  We then all helped get the cultural hall decorated and set up for the reception the next evening.  It was a late night but it was good to have lots of people helping.  The next morning we got up and got ready to head to the temple.  My sisters Courtney and Kelsey were going to watch all the kids for those of us that could go attend the sealing.  When we got there they hadn't arrived yet and luckily a nice lady offered to sit with our kids until they arrived.  It was a really nice sealing ceremony and everything went really smooth.  It was nice to see some couples from the ward who have meant a lot to our family.     

The wedding colors were turquoise and coral.  We all got our own outfits in those colors and it was fun to see what we all decided to wear.  Here are the turquoise girls!

 We waited a really long time for them to come out of the temple.  The kids were as patient as they could be.  It was warm and it was lunch time. 

 Finally they came out!  Jenny's dress was beautiful, we hadn't seen it yet.  Jordan looked handsome in his new suit.  They looked so happy! 

Jordan and his groomsmen.  They have all been friends for a while, they are all really nice guys.  The guy right next to him lived down street from my parents and I babysat him all the time.  Crazy how we all grew up.

 During different group photos the kids found some shade to rest and explore. 

 Jordan and Jenny with all the kids, they were exhausted and it was starting to show.  It was also pretty warm and bright outside. They did a great job and they were all so cute in their outfits.

  Siblings in age, it is not that often we are all together.  As we get older and more spread out it gets harder to get us all here at the same time.

Me and Jenny

 We wanted to get a family picture on temple ground, this was the best we got.  We were all done with taking pictures and ready to head home.  

Before heading to the reception I took the kids picture in the front yard.

 We took this family picture right outside the church before heading into the reception.

 Everything came together really well.  Jordan and Jenny worked really hard on a lot of the details.  We had yummy food and an ice cream bar.  Jordan and Jenny meet in this church building at a youth conference years ago.  She was helping serve the caramel at the ice cream bar.  Which is why they decided to have an ice cream bar at their reception.  Until he found out her name they called her caramel.  Jordan eventually got brave enough and asked her to dance.   

 

They had crayons and coloring books for the kids.  They had a time capsule to write notes to them to read in one year.

 

The reception was a lot of fun.  They had some dancing at the end and we sent them off with sparklers and bubbles.  We had fun visiting with lots of people.  We brought our pack and play and put Nolan to bed in one of the classrooms.  Good thing because we were there really late helping clean up and take everything down.  It was a beautiful wedding and we are happy for them.  They are so happy to be married!
