My sister-in law Kristy got married this last weekend. We are so happy for her and so excited that she is happy!
They held the wedding in the chapel of the LDS church. I have never been to a wedding in the chapel. There are certain things that you can't do like you can in a regular ceremony. It was a very nice ceremony though.
Matt fits in really well with our family and he makes Kristy very happy. He was sticking his butt out at just for this picture.....perfect.
Here is grandma and the kids all dressed up for the occasion.
The bride with all her bridesmaids. Kristy and Kim her maid of honor (the one with the dark hair) are twin sisters.
Beckett had his full time babysitter with him. My niece Ali is always up for a challenge and I always put her in charge of the monster.
Here are all the grand-kids except one. Thank goodness Michelle brought her Ipad to keep them entertained.
Here is the missing one, she had to stop off for a snack.
There was a luncheon after the wedding and this was the only picture I took of that because my nephew Nate cracks me up.
The bride and groom were busy taking pictures most of the afternoon so the rest of us got busy setting up for the reception.
I know you have been waiting for it, so here it is. My first (hopefully only) wedding cake. It looks nothing like the picture that she gave me of how she wanted it. I pretty much suck.
Bless my awesome sister in-law Michelle and her mad flower arranging skills. Without which the cake would look absolutely horrible. So many things went wrong with this cake it is amazing it looked even this good/bad.
These are the four sheet cakes that I made too.
I bribed the kids with frosting so they would stay away from the cake.
Here is the monster man again.
This is the rest of Jason's family, his two brothers, aunt, sister and another sister in-law. Jason's grandma even came, and she hasn't been to Idaho in 13 years!
They had a chocolate fountain and it was a big success. Once again Nate cracks me up!
Cutting of the awesome cake (I don't want any comments about how it's leaning okay).
I was proud of Kristy she smashed it in there good.
The reception was a ton of fun, with dancing and eating we really enjoyed ourselves. I love weddings!

Your first wedding cake looks fabulous!
Not nearly as great as Mr Ginger Beckett looks in his orange bow tie though.. I must say. That is smashing.
I truly do know how much work and stress went into making all those cakes! Give yourself a pat on the back, and if you really don't ever want to do one again... well say no, because I guarantee someone will be asking!
WOW Des how can we ever thank you enough! You are amazing! I am sorry for all the stress you have had with Kristy's bridal shower and then the wedding with the wedding cakes and helping to set things up and helping to keep things organized and taking down on her special day! You pretty much rock! You're THE BEST! I don't know what we would have ever done without you! The cake was great and I don't care what you say about it, it was beautiful! I don't think you give yourself enough credit! We love you and you was Amazing! Thanks so much for everything and especially for being a part of our family and loving us and helping us out so much!
Here's the deal...the cake looks fab! You pointed out how crappy you thought it was because YOU made it. Which I understand because every piece of "whatever" I make I see all the imperfections and fail to see the good. (Kinda like I do sometimes with students, myself...)
Anyway, Knock it off sista! It looks like it smashed into faces beautifully. And I bet it tasted great :0)
The wedding looks like a lot of fun and that Mr B looks like the sweetest little Leprechaun.
I love you Des! Thanks for always making me smile.
The cake is awesome, gorgeous, amazing, etc. You know you are awesome, you don't have to deny your inner awesomeness. You really need to teach me how to make a cake. I attempted to make one on my own for my mom's birthday this year--umm, it was unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. I LOVE Beckett's bowtie. Bowties are cool. I think orange suits him. Did you make the matching skirts and ties? They are so cute!
Des, I meant to tell you how happy I was to see this post! I have decided that I like being at weddings when I'm not the bride. I missed so much being a bride. Thank you for sharing!!! I love the pictures and the cake was simply wonderful!!!!
