LeeLee's Wedding!

Tuesday morning (May 11th) brought us to Wadley Farms in Lindon (ever been there? I hadn't but it's beautiful!) for Arlene & Darin's big day (finally!). Everything was perfect!! She did a great job planning everything. Before the ceremony started, we just had to go say hi to the cows - made Sam's whole day.

Paul pointed out the irony of a literal ball & chain on-site.

The ceremony - yep, I bawled.

Isaiah looking so dapper in his black tie duds

Sam had a little too much to drink

Tia Sylvana (Arlene's mom) and (stepdad) Mike

Heidi & Steph, sisters, rocking it - all of the bridesmaids & groomsmen danced their way down the aisle.

Here they are lined up - gorgeous!

Ring boy - don't know his name. He's not brown, so he's not from our side. :)

Steph's daughter Ella - cute flower girl!

And the big moment! Arlene's brother Juan walked her down the aisle and you could tell he was just fighting the tears. It was adorable.

Getting the business out of the way...

husband and wife!

we were all sniffling, but Sylvana was really bawling - she was so happy

then some family pics (notice me bending my knees in each one to fit in with all of my short in-laws haha)

the groom - and sideshow Bob!!

lovin' those shoes!

Sam, playing up his studly look

Steph & Ella

Remember these guys? Yep, still happy :)

Then we moved on to this glorious spread

and ate on these cute tables

and helped ourselves to these to-die-for-cute favors that she made herself! So, so proud. :)

After we'd stuffed ourselves silly, the happy couple enjoyed their first dance

which I couldn't get more pictures of because this crazy beautiful little fella was soooo sleepy (read squirmy)

then the actually cut this masterpiece

and shared in some beautiful toasts by Heidi

Darin's brother Devin

and Juan (who, incidentally, gave the most beautiful - and last-minute! - toast at our own wedding - he's good at this)

Then the bouquet (no pics - see "squirmy" above) and the garter (she was blushing so hard!!)

Then we had to take squirmy home for a nap. It was such a beautiful, perfect day and we're so happy for them and to have Darin be an official part of the family!!

love, mary
