The Big Day

The next Saturday after graduation, May 1st, Brittney and Micah were married in the Las Vegas Temple!! It was a wonderful sealing and I was so happy to witness it. There is no other feeling in the world like there is in the temple and I was very touched to be surrounded by family and friends on both sides of the veil for this special occasion. It brought me back to when Jordan and I got married 5 1/2 years ago and the same happiness was experienced. Brittney and Micah have been dating for over 3 years now and I am so happy that they decided to take the next step of being married!

So here is how the day went...

They got married at 1pm and this is after with the start of the never ending pictures!!! This is all of our side of the family:aunts and uncles, cousins, Grandma, and Great Aunt and Uncle.

We had a luncheon at our house after the temple for everyone while the rest of us finished the details of the reception. Brittney did an amazing job at creating the look of the reception, so detailed which was a pain to set all up but looked soooo good all put together. Brittney had the ideas and with alot of my parents help they pulled off quite a reception!!!

Doesn't she look absolutely gorgeous!?!

So onto the details....

This was the entrance to the reception.

The sign in table, feather pen and all.

Brittney made their sign in book. Each page was different, so unique and so cute.

The theme she was going for was rustic and antique, old looking, and she totally pulled it off. I loved these signs we made.

The flowers were gorgeous. Their colors were peach, rose, cream, brown... all in that same family which made everything look so elegant.

This was one of my favorite details. On the property of the reception there is this huge windmill and Brittney wanted the cakes to be inside of it. So my handy little Dad made a board that fit exactly inside to hold the cakes.

Then for the pedestals for the cakes were lanterns that my handy little Dad, again, made platforms to go on top to set the cakes on.

They buffet was set up on the back of a '57 Chevrolet truck which was such a big hit. It looked so awesome!

Again, all of these were Brittney's ideas! She is one creative lady! Between two poles she strung hemp zig-zagged and hung a bunch of photos of them by mini clothes pins.

And see that tree in the back? Yes, we wrapped 4 huge trees in lights along with tieing little lanterns in the trees and lining the tent with lights too!

They had a montage video of the two of them going.

And here is the grand tent, chandeliers and all.

The centerpieces were awesome. She wanted just a lot of groupings of certain flowers on each table along with some lanterns, chalk boards, and decorative balls. All of the table cloths were different colors and fabrics made by my talented Mom.

The DJ started up and so did the dancing!! Drake had so much fun with his cousins Bella and Grayson!

Cutting the cake!

The Newlywed's first dance.

My Dad is an awesome dancer and Britt wanted a semi fast dance for the father/daughter dance. They looked so great out there and with everyone cheering made it so fun to watch!

And with Brandy too!

The Newlyweds! Doesn't her hair look awesome? I wish I had a back shot of it because it was in a loose braid across the back that Brandy did. So beautiful!

In honor of it being May 1st, May Day, Brittney wanted a Maypole, and that is exactly what she got! All of her good girl friends did it with her.

I loved dancing with Jordan. He would come find me when a slow song would come on, bring me up to the dance floor and I loved it.

The night ended with more dancing and a pathway lit up with sparklers to say goodbye to Britt and Micah. The night was magical and so fun. Everything was pulled off amazingly and the hard work was worth it! Now they are off in Maui enjoying a wonderful honeymoon!

I am so excited for them to start their lives together as husband and wife and I am also excited to have Micah as a brother in law now!

Congrats Porter's!!!
