Most of us arrived at 5:30 planning on using those 30 minutes to finish getting ready then we were told that we couldn't get in the the reception hall until 5:45pm. David and Melissa took advantage of the wait to practice their dance.
One wouldn't think that 15 minutes would make that big of deal, but it did. Getting ready was a MAD rush. Both sides of the wedding party tripping over each other trying to get everyone ready in time to take pictures before the rest of the guests arrived. It was crazy. Some of the getting ready carried over into picture time.
Dallin waiting patiently for everyone to get dressed, made up and hair done.
Becky and I were put on Gift Duty. We were told that we were to make sure that the correct cards stayed with the correct gifts...
Sarah as put on Door Duty...she had to make sure everyone signed the guest book and tell folks where to go ( the place was kind of confusing)
My nieces, Katie and Chris came over to keep Sarah company at the door. They also were the official 'trash' collectors, gathering the ice cream bowls from the abandoned tables and putting them in the trash cans. They were very efficient.
My niece, Katelyn, brother-in-law Cameron and nephew Dallin on Ice Cream Eating duty...some people have it hard it's true.
Grant on Sleeping Duty...makes you kind of jealous no?
I kind of wish I was a little kid and could sleep whenever the mood hit me.
Cutting the Cake - the official photographer has the best angle so this is what I could get :)
Throwing the bouquet - At first Becky, Sarah and I were the only ones out there...fortunately others joined us...
The girl with the yellow flowers on her shirt caught the bouquet...practically ripped it out of Becky's hands, but Becky told us she's okay with that.
On 'Sneaky Duty' hehehe....we abandoned are various posts during the night to take care of one of the important traditions of wedding receptions.

The Parents, Bride and Groom were on Receiving Line Duty...fun fun fun no?

The car look great. I don't have any really good pictures of it. My camera died right after taking the pictures of the twins helping out. However after we finished it was attacked by Melissa's brothers and didn't survive. It looked, as David said, like someone threw up on it....but we did a good job anyway.
The parents of the groom...happy the all went well and to have their son married off to a wonderful girl :)
Good times were definitely had by all!
