Wedding Day! 08-11-07


I LOVE THIS PICTURE!

My sister is gorgeous!

Here are the girls of the Broderick wedding party.

Here we are as a family but for some reason we don't have Steve in the Picture so hopefully Rena did or someone else did.

Bri having fun waiting while the pictures were taken.

Paige is now having fun scaring me that she is going to fall into the flowers. Both of my girls are cute HUH!

Here they are waiting for they to come out of the temple.
Here is Rena with all of the nieces and her own daughter. Unfortunately I didn't get one with me out of the picture.
The threesome starts now. Don't they look great!

Steve is now my brother and we are so happy to have him in our family! The wedding day started out with us all getting up really early. Especially Rena because she needed to get her hair done. We all needed to be at the temple at 8:30 because I was her escort and Shane was a witness. So- since Rena was gone to get her hair done I was in charge of getting the girls up and ready for the wedding. That means getting their hair done plus mine! Well- I practiced on the girls before to see how long it would take me but I still didn't get it all done. I was stressed out. Plus I didn't even get my own hair done! The girls were being watched by my mom and a babysitter. Luckily for me Rena told me that the babysitter was really good with hair. So- when the time ran out and the girls were not ready I packed up all the hair stuff and brought it with me. The babysitter did a great job finishing the hair. I also made all the girls their dresses and that was a stress but I was able to finish them all by myself and that made me feel that I was able to contribute to my sisters wedding since I live so far away. It was hard to not be a big part in planning but I was very happy that I could make the dresses and be her escort. Thanks for that!!!
Well- I think that is enough pictures. Do you feel like you were there?

I am so happy for Rena! What a beautiful bride. Please send her my congrats. I'm impressed you made all the girls dresses. A project I wouldn't even attempt.
