HERE COMES THE BRIDE!!

My little sister got married this weekend!! She was the most beautiful bride and everything went so smooth. It was a crazy buys weekend at the McSpadden household trying to get everything ready, but it all came together nicely and they are finally married for time and all eternity! Ben and I got there with our kids Thursday night around 11pm and stayed through Sunday. Friday was spent getting everything put together for the reception and all of the final wedding touches and then Saturday was the big day. I was so excite/nervous for her I barely slept a wink all night! I got up early that morning and did her makeup, got the kids ready, and off we went to the the Boise temple where they were married. It was a beautiful ceremony and it didn't help that I was pregnant because I cry over anything anyways,..I bawled like a baby through the whole thing. I was ok until she started crying and then I lost it. Something about watching your baby sister getting married, I was very emotional all weekend. It was so neat just seeing her so happy and in love, it made me so happy that she found that for herself. Ryan is an amazing guy and adores Taucia. He treats her so good and just watching the way they interact with each other made me so giddy for them.

We had a lunchin at the church afterwards where of course my dad makes me get up and give a speech..which of course I bawled through again! We then went back to my parents, rested for a little while (oh and may I mention that my husband came down with a sore throat the morning that we left. He pretty much slept the whole first day we were there and whenever he got a spare second to rest. I thought he was just being a baby with a bad cold. But come to find out when we got back in town...he had STREP THROAT! I felt so bad. I did have some left over amoxicillan so the first day he started complaining I made him start taking that. Good thing too or we probably would have all got it. Anyways, he was quite the trooper with me dragging him to everything!)

The reception was that night and it turned out awesome. It was at the church and Taucia didn't want it looking like a church gym so they pretty much transformed the whole thing! Hanging lights, that see through sheer material over the lights, everything! For food she has an ice cream bar with every topping you could think of. A chocolate fountain and lots of yummy things to eat. It was a crazy busy night with all three of my kids tired, visiting with every person that came to the reception (it felt like...she knows SO MANY PEOPLE!) but it turned out amazing and we are so happy for her and Ryan! They are so happy in love and so cute. We are so proud of them and hope they know how much we love both of them. Thanks for a fun weekend guys, WE LOVE YOU!!
