Anna & Matt Get Married

The day before we went to Disney World, September 17th, my sister Anna got married. She married Matt from Virginia. Since Matt was moving here, he was looking for a job. BYU called him the day before they got married and offered him an early wedding gift...a job! Wahoo! Anna was looking for a new job as well, so with all that stress, I became the wedding planner. We kept things really simple because it was in my parent's yard, which doesn't need much decoration. It turned out great!

Anna and Matt with as many of the nieces and nephews as could be rounded up.  Super funny pic!

Each table had a mason jar of mini daisies on each table, as well as 2 small mason jars with tea lights in them and a frame that was gray and yellow with one of their pictures in it.

A balloon arch to guide guests to the backyard

We had a small round table that had 4 water jugs with water and lemons.  That way the water didn't have to be refilled as much and it looked cool.

A large silver punch bowl held the grapes.

My Mom's beautiful buffet table held a framed picture, a digital frame, the book and varying sizes of mason jars in a cluster, all with lit candles.  When it got dark this looked beautiful.

Being cute with her food

We had mason jars with candles hanging from the 2 large trees in my parent's yard.

A flower arrangement by my sister, Carrie for a little bench.  Carrie did all the flowers.

A super funny picture.  My nephew is throwing a stuffed Mickey and the next picture is him and Max digging it out of the garbage.

4 kinds of cheese for the crackers.

Lemon Bars

The beautiful bouquet by Carrie

Olives

Strawberries

Super cute little girl.  Who does she belong to!?

Large pot of mums that sat by the book table.

Another candle in the tree

Gifts on the picnic table and bench.  Cards in the little fruit rack.

Anna didn't want to throw something that no one wanted, so my sister-in-law, McKell made a money bouquet for Anna to toss instead.

Guess who caught the garter!?

No cake for this couple.  Anna doesn't like it and it really helped the budget.  They bit into a lemon bar, which we quickly learned had a little coconut in them, which Matt is allergic to.  Thankfully he spit it out quickly and was fine.

Anna and Matt's sealer also sealed Shane and Me.  We got a picture with he and his wife at the reception.
