The Long Awaited Volume Two

Sorry fans and family, I have been remiss in posting updates. Here is a quick continuation of wedding day wonderfulness.

After the ceremony and photos at the Draper temple, we headed to a hotel in Provo where Jamie's parents hosted a beautiful luncheon for us. Below is one of my all time favorite photos of the occasion.

I believe we are munching down on an Indian sweet called ... barfi? (Jean, you'll have to help me with that one!) That lovely little lady in the background is Sophie, my favorite little bridesmaid. The pink fabric draped on the wall is what the bridesmaid dresses were crafted from.

After the lovely lunching, we were headed south to glorious Nephi for our ring ceremony and reception. It was held at the Old Mill, which is this amazing outdoor venue. It had a little creek running through it, and it was so green and lusciously wooded. There was a water wheel that gave it a great old-timey feel.

Jamie and I decided to have a ring ceremony due to the number of family members that were unable to join us for the sealing. We had a few speakers and exchanged rings, but didn't do vows or anything like that because we had already been married for about six or seven hours at that point.

My dad was kind enough to capture the ring ceremony on video for us. I've tried numerous times to post it, but apparently iMovie, YouTube, and Blogger all hate me. If I figure it out I will definitely get it up here. My little sister Staci, the maid of honor, gave an amazing performance, not to be missed. Love you, Shnooks :)

Our cake was awesome and one of the most Jessie-esque things about the wedding, I think. The following picture doesn't do it justice, but it's fabulous anyhow.

I know I say this about every picture, but this one of mi madre and me is definitely one of my favorites. Definitely scrapbookable.

After the festivities wound down, we let the professionals deal with the clean up and Jamie and I headed to Provo for the evening. The next day we went back to Nephi to eat some delicious wedding cake leftovers and open our gifts. Then we packed up and my dad drove us to Salt Lake. We stayed at a hotel next to the airport, and were up at 4 a.m. the next morning to catch our flight to Puerto Vallerta. You'll have to read all about our Mexican adventures in my next post!
