Lessons I learned this weekend

  • Sydney gets very jealous when I pay attention to any other kids now. (Charles says that this means we need to have another baby now...he's been outvoted.)
  • Sydney cannot fall asleep on her own without her blanket and her own bed. (we are currently in the market for a playpen now)
  • Novelty dates (such as 8/8/08) are very popular days to get married...so sealings run very late. (There were 45 sealings in Manti and it is rumored that there were over 200 in Salt Lake City...Yikes!)
  • Having your wedding and reception in two different towns almost two hours away from each other makes a long day twice as long.
  • Being a wedding planner is not a relaxing career.
  • Nobody really believes you when you say "take as much cake as you want".

Elisha's wedding was very nice. She and Greg looked amazing and there are at least a few usable pictures that they should like. I wanted to take more than I did, but with so many weddings, we had to wait forever just to take group and family pictures and by the time that was done, we were all hot and just ready to be done. And, thankfully, between their sealing and their reception there was a huge thunderstorm (really huge...we had to pull of the highway for a few minutes because we couldn't see the road) that cooled the day off and made it the perfect temperature for her outdoor reception.
