A Beautiful Wedding!

On Thanksgiving Weekend I went to Southern California for my friend's wedding. I first have to preface the story by saying that Erin and I have been friends since birth and we both have boxes of each other's letters from our growing up years. We've spent many hours laughing at goofy things and having fun with our visits. As a little bonus, I love her family and have been able to be with them at many family gatherings. Her mom and Aunt Sharron were nice enough to come make all the food at our wedding. They're the best!

With that being said, I loved being there for Erin and Cliff's wedding. I was so happy to see Erin and Cliff get married in the Newport Beach Temple and to finally meet Cliff! Erin made an absolutely stunning bride and Cliff looked very dapper in his tux. The reception later at their house was so beautiful, as you can see from the pictures. The food was fabulous...and all was homemade by Erin's mom and aunts.

Some of the highlights were seeing Kathryn and Sarah belly to belly as they are both about to give birth next month! Another was making corsages and boutonnieres with Erin the night before. The 3 hour adventure at Wonder Nails where 8 of us tried to get manicures and pedicures got a little dicey there at the end as I'm sure we were about to get kicked out! Another highlight was eating at In-N-Out Burger...yum... Seeing the little grandkids delirously run around at night was pretty funny too! I loved spending time with the whole Smith Clan! The only thing that would have made the weekend better was to have my honey with me, who sadly had to stay home.
