"My Best Friend's Wedding!"

My friend Brad, who I grew up with in Maine got married last weekend! We have a long history as friends since he is only 5 days older than I am and we were "betrothed" to be married! My family actually lived in his families' basement apartment when we were 4 years old and we were the best of friends! I of course, spent my days chasing him as I was "in love!"

We had so many fun times as we grew up and our families are like family to one another.

Needless to say, I got married young while he was on his mission and I've been waiting for the day when he too would get married! His new bride, Tanja is a wonderful girl who I can't wait to get to know better and it was a beautiful day at the Logan Temple, where Chris and I got married a little over 6 years ago!!!


I love the architecture of the Logan Temple and it's castle-like appearance. It's so beautiful and grand yet simple and stately at the same time. It was the second temple completed so there is so much history there!


I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity of being present at their sealing and witnessing the love and joy that they have for one another. I couldn't help but feel so much happiness and the reassuring peace of knowing that we have both been able to find wonderful spouses. It was one of those moments where you feel everything is as it should be.

From the temple we went to a luncheon at the Firehouse Grill and enjoyed some delicious salad and breadsticks, pizza, pasta and dessert. We were so busy eating that I failed to get any pictures and I didn't realize that we were literally eating for like 2 hours!!! Before we knew it the Reception was beginning so we hurried on over to that only to see that there was MORE food! I can safely say that WE ATE GOOD!!!

The Reception was held at the Logan Country Club and was absolutely beautiful. Everything was attended to perfectly and it was so elegant yet simple.

The scenery was gorgeous as the sun was setting against the mountains and the golf course.





I couldn't get a good picture of Brad and Tanja cutting and eating the cake but I did get the cake prior to being cut. We were also so full that we didn't even get any cake!

And last of al, as we left I snapped a picture of their honeymoon get-a-way vehicle!!! Right now they're currently basking in the sun somewhere in Hawaii!!! CONGRATULATIONS to a wonderful couple!!! We look forward to many years of continued friendship!!!!
