courtneys wedding

I can not even believe that my little sis is married!! It was amazing and wonderful and I am so happy that it all turned out how it did! Courtney and Landon met their freshman year at BYU while living in the dorms and ended up writing throughout his mission. When he got home this summer they still felt the same about each other and March 5th they tied the knot. My mom worked so hard and thank you's can not even come close to expressing how grateful we are for the many wonderful friends that helped make it happen! 

Wednesday court went through the temple and it was one of the highlights of the weekend. She was so calm and so prepared. I am so proud of her. I can not describe the feeling I had looking around and seeing most of my family all in white. Even though my boys are still small I can imagine how good it must be to have your children make it to that point in their lives. That is truly a blessing. That afternoon we did pictures at the temple. It was a beautiful day and courtney looked incredible! (Landon looked pretty good himself :)) Wednesday night was the dinner. Delicious (home made) cafe rio and wonderful company. My mom and their group brought the house down! ha ha. They were even given a new nickname "Leila and the Girls". We had a blast and really enjoyed getting to know the Fowlers even more. They are a wonderful family and it was cool to see how much our families fit together. The wedding day went off with only a slight hitch as my dad got a flat tire on the freeway coming home from picking my aunt up from the airport! Needless to say we did manage to make it to the temple on time and it was wonderful. The reception was beautiful. I seriously can not believe the talent that exists with our friends and how they are able to create what they do. It was everything that court could have wanted! Thank you Thank you! The long day and party ended with the cutting of the cake. (My mom even got in on the action as courtney creamed her as well as Landon! Good sport mom! :)) And the newlyweds drove off for a wonderful honeymoon in SanDiego. It makes me so happy to know that my little sis found a great guy to spend the rest of her life with. I love them both and am excited for them to learn and grow together. 

Although I would never want to go back and start over- it is refreshing to think about how danny and I felt at that same time in our lives. There is never a time when it is quite the same again. It is different and amazing but still never the same so live it up you two!
