I think Mark and I set a world record for "Number of Weddings Attended" yesterday. At least if there is a record, I'm sure we shattered it. We went to two weddings yesterday. Aren't you astounded?
Okay, maybe it's not that many, but it sure seemed like it. My cousin, Brittney, got married in the Logan temple yesterday at 10 am. We were invited to the ceremony, which was so nice. It was the first temple ceremony that I've got to witness other than my own. It was special to watch.
Here's me licking my bowl of guacamole clean.
Okay, that's really not me, as evidenced by the nose ring. But seriously, I would have licked it clean if I wasn't at a formal wedding surrounded by strangers--and in-laws.
I've never been to an actual "reception" (nice dinner, expensive drinks, embarrassing speeches, and awkward drunken dancing) before, so it was so fun to be a part of it. However, the people that were drinking seemed to be having a little more fun. Odd, I know!
These aren't pictures of the actual wedding, but I guess they'll have to suffice. They are in the exact same place anyways. With all the driving, crowds of people, weddings, and I do's, at the end of the day I ended up with a smashing headache. I'm pretty sure this is how I looked and felt at the end of the night.
Who knew that breaking world records could be so exhausting?
After that, we headed down to the wedding breakfast at the Bluebird. We couldn't stay too long, because we had to jet down to Salt Lake for Mark's cousin's wedding. So we crammed in Mark's parents van with his parents and grandparents. Her wedding was at Snowbird up Little Cottonwood Canyon. We arrived just in time for the ceremony at five. It was out on a terrace of Cliff Lodge. I'd never been to Snowbird before, so it was actually pretty cool. The canyon was gorgeous.
We went to the ceremony, followed shortly thereafter by hors d'oeuvres and drinks in the Eagle's Nest. Someone passed us a "free drink" card, and I used mine to get a Coke. One of the hors d'oeuvres was guacamole, and let me tell you, it was outta this world! You know me and my obsession with guacamole. That just might have been the best part about the whole night.

Out of all the times that I've forgotten to take my camera, I really regret this one. The reception was pretty and different than what I was used to. I would really love to share some actual pictures, but sadly I have none. Another thing to work on. As usual, enjoy some mediocre pictures that I could scrounge up from the internet.
