Everyone waiting outside the temple:
Erica and Mel trying to mend the great dress debacle of 2016. |
The boys totally oblivious to the nearby disaster... |
If there's a photographer around... |
He will be shamelessly used. ;) |
"Someone grab his bag!" |
Awkwardly waiting for anyone to come up and talk to us... |
Finally Midge makes the move! |
The whole gang! |
Los Amigos |
The Messerly Group...apparently Rich thinks he's above us all... |
Messerly Might! |
Other than the fact the Loren didn't quite get out from behind Mel I LOVE this picture! |
So sweet! :) |
Ben and I had a good laugh about the fact that our fathers are the same in pictures...just stare at the camera and look slightly confused...love ya Dad! |
And he says he's not photogenic... |
Unfortunately, in all Ben's sibling pictures the wind was doing something bizarre to his hair... |
The Bridesmaids! |
The Men...who weren't really officially groomsmen, but just happened to be the three of Ben's friends who made it. |
Totally artsy...I love it! |
LOVE the colors in this one! |
Can you tell that veil has fallen out and had to be put back in about a THOUSAND times? |
Just stand there, look at the camera, and smile. The hardest type of picture for us to pull off...but I think this one is nice! |
I kind of like it...even though you can tell it's not a natural pose for us. |
He's just too cute! |
Favorite moments:
Getting ready in the morning with my sisters. Four girls, one giant mirror.
Driving to the temple with Ben. It felt so natural and so bizarre at the same time.
Walking into the sealing room and seeing so many familiar smiling faces. Everyone I looked at was someone I loved and was so happy to see there!
Watching Ben get emotional as I covenanted to be his wife for eternity.
Hearing what sounded like a little emotion in Grandpa's voice as he gave me a hug and told me he loved me.
Seeing Missy walk up to me with tears streaming down her face as she hugged me and hurried out of the room.
Having our host couple tell us that was the most powerful sealing they've ever been to.
Having Mom with me to help me with my dress...the ribbon looked perfect Mom. :) Well done.
Hearing that Midge was going to be wearing some ugly shawl over her pretty dress because it busted before Mel and Erica fixed it.
Getting into an air conditioned car after taking pictures in the HOT sun.
It seems as if the pictures were worth the wait. They are so beautiful and you two just look fantastic! I'll be showcasing some of them on my blog soon!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!! I love love love them! Though I can see where Ben gets his lack of smiling skills from... But really, great pics that you will cherish forever! And I agree, Loren gets a FAIL for not finding his window on that siblings pic but outside of that, it's amazing! Beautiful colors with those flowers!
ReplyDeleteYay! You look gorgeous--but I already knew that because I WAS THERE! The comment about Dad and Ben's Dad photographing the same cracked me up--I'm still chuckling about that one! And ok, I'm glad I wasn't holding my breath for a good pic of me and my lil fam...cuz um...I just look large, not pregnant...not a good pose, but whatevs.... I'll be looking at these photos again when I have more time--but first look through = <3
ReplyDeleteYou both got really cute ones with your mom! And yours where Dad is kissing u on the cheek for the first time in your adult life is classic!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures of a wonderful day! I'm so happy you have them. I hope we have time this weekend to choose what picture should go up on our wall. Love, Mom
