Beautiful Day for a Beautiful Bride

Saturday, November 23, 2013
Brigham City Temple
congrats to the new mr. and mrs. claflin. the day finally came and one of my very best friends is now married with a husband. yes it is true, i brought these two love birds together. this is not the first time this has happened. i have actually introduced at least 3 of my friends to their husbands. i am that girl. always a bridesmaid but never the bride..... someday, right? i am just waiting for a friend of mine to introduce me to my future hubbie. haha in the meantime i really do enjoy seeing my best friends fall in love. i am the bigggest hopeless romantic you will ever meet. i just love love and carli and daniel are defintely so in love. 

carli was such a beautiful bride. her dress was gorgeous!! the white gown looked incrediable on her tan and perfect skin. something i have always been jealous of. carli and daniel were married in the brigham city temple. i loved that she didn't follow the norm. the slc temple is beautiful but all my friends have been married there. it's about time someone switched it up. watching carli and daniel come out those temple doors was such a happy moment. it is amazing seeing two people after they have just made eternal convenants to be sealed for time and all eternity. carli and daniel were all smiles, a little tears but you could tell they were filled with so much joy and excitement. that is how it should be right? i imagine that on my wedding day i want to feel confident and excited about the person i have choosen to marry.  


 The Brides Maids
one of my favorite things about weddings it that it reunites old friends. it is an oppurutnity to see people i only get to see a couple of times a year. weddings are like a mini high school reunion. its crazy to see where people go after high school. its like we all have the same basic goals, go to college, get married, have a career and start a family but all of us have a different time and way we accomplish those goals. some meet their husbands at 19 while others meet them at 30 but regardless everyone's course of life is different. we cannot compare our life to anothers. life is full of oppurtunities, but they don't come to us all at once or all at the same time. to each is their own and there is definte joy in the journey.
