Brief update before I begin telling you about my cousin's Anthony's wedding to Whitney Smith. Second semester went smoothly. Heather and I got to know each other really well and I was more social. Summer has been wonderful. End of May my mother, Alex and I went to the Taylor Swift concert and had an absolute blast. Then we went to Utah for three weeks and Alex met my crazy family. Now all of them are asking me when I am marrying him. My response? Nothing can happen for three years so anything can happen. I also watched Sound of Music for the first time, went to Galveston with Morgan, Madison, Christine, and Blake. Joseph got his tonsils out and my parents went on a Baltic Cruise. Also I went to Lagoon for the first time in at least ten years and won a dragon and rode Wicked! Wicked is an awesome roller coaster you take off and go straight up in the air to turn and precede straight toward the ground before continuing the ride. It was terrifying and exhilarating and further proved why I love roller coasters.
On to the w
edding! There were 81 weddings performed at the Salt Lake Temple today. Twice as many as they normally do. So trying to find the wedding party was a nightmare! We saw at least twelve brides before we found our own. Whitney was absolutely stunning and Anthony could not have been happier. We preceded to take pictures outside the temple before headed over to Candace Lish house while we waited for dinner. I rode with Gina and Kurt to Candace's house and do not mess with Kurt before he has his diet coke! He's a crazy driver!If you
know Candace then you need to go see her townhouse it is SO adorable! We hung out at Candace's house for a little over an hour before preceding to the wedding feast, and I mean feast! It was a three hour dinner with five courses! The venue was absolutely stunning and the food was good. We were allowed to eat appetizers for an hour before the meal started. Then we were served a salad, followed by raviolis and lasagna. Then we had a beef and chicken then we were served wedding cake. It was fabulous food. During the entire dinner if anyone started to hit their glass with a knife the rest of the room would join in until Anthony and Whitney kissed. My favorite toast was given by Mike (Anthony's brother). He made a poster that said the TWON Legacy (Twon is Anthony's nickname and it is a spoof on the new Tron movie) and had Anthony's and Whitney's face on the poster where the actors should have been. It was adorable. All and all a wonderful wedding.
