We just came back from a very quick weekend trip to Utah! Jordan's sister, Lindsey, got married on Saturday to none other than the awesome Matt Lambourne. It was such a great weekend!
Their wedding dinner on Friday night at Carvers in Sandy was beautiful. It was very well put together, delicious, and sweet! We loved when the parents stood up to give their speeches - especially when Jim said he would sing for us, but there wasn't enough time. Dang! :)
Saturday morning was spent preparing and transforming the Henderson's backyard into a Hawaiian luau getaway. Lots of work, but it was BEAUTIFUL! We didn't get the chance to take pictures of everything, but just imagine tropical flowers everywhere, two pigs roasting on a spit, and more pineapples than you've ever seen in your life.
Saturday afternoon, Matt and Lindsey were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake LDS temple. The weather was perfect! They were so beautiful together, and some very poignant words were said for their marriage. This was the first marriage I've seen, and it made me realize how important being sealed to your family is - it is the pinnacle of everything we do on this earth! After the sealing, we went outside to take the classic family pictures on the temple steps, and then went back to the Henderson's to prepare further for the reception.
The reception was a big party! Tons of delicious Hawaiian food, hula dancers, a fire dancer, snow-cones, and amazing wedding cake! There was even a dance off between all of us bridesmaids and groomsmen - it was HILARIOUS!! Oh, and of course the bridesmaids won! Matt and Lindsey's first dance was so sweet. They danced to the same song his Grandma had danced to at her wedding. I didn't see who caught the bouquet, but a little boy caught the garter! Haha! Matt and Lindsey drove away in a car decorated with oreos, toilet paper, condoms, and vaseline, but they were happy nonetheless :) Still don't know who the culprit was on that. The perfect weather held out until we were done picking up from after the reception and then it rained that night.
We are so very happy for them and wish them the best of luck in their marriage! Love you both!
