Jordan and Andrea Wedding (Payson Temple Couple favorites)

The photo team consisted of Amy, Colton, Meghan and Brenda.

These were taken Nov. 24, 2017 at the Payson, Utah Temple.

Nov. 24^th: Today was filled with a photo shoot at the Payson Temple with Meghan, Brenda and Amy. Sarah Hunt printed three pictures from that effort to display at the reception today and delivered them to us. We didn’t have bridal pictures for my big, nice frames, but Sarah made certain we had nice couple pictures to put in them anyway. I was so grateful. She refused to take any money saying they were her gift to the new couple. The rest of us hung around here. One team did some clean-up and then focused on food prep for the reception. Another team set up at the cultural hall. It took all day, but it was beautiful when we finished. I may be our most beautiful wedding ever.

Andrea and Jordan Wedding (Bridal Picture favorites)

I learned on Nov. 19th, that Andrea’s custom made wedding dress is still in China! I was pretty disheartened by that. Nov. 20: I awoke feeling energized and optimistic to a degree only available through the Spirit. I had a sense of peace that all would go well today as we search for a wedding dress for Andrea. I did my morning bus run and Bethany did my pm run so I could go shopping with Andrea. My faith faltered a bit on the way up. Andrea and I each felt we should begin our search at the bridal boutique in Spanish Fork. We walked in at 2:00 p.m. and out at 3:15 p.m. with a wedding dress that filled Andrea’s dreams in nearly every way. She showed the clerk a picture of the dress still in China and they quickly found dresses that were similar. The 2^nd dress fit like it was made for her and it was gorgeous. It required hemming and a little bit of lace to bring the v-neck up to a modest level. Leslie, the owner came in near the end of our shopping trip. She said she would take care of the alterations herself and have it ready by noon the next day. We had already missed our window of opportunity for bridal pictures, but at least she will have her dress for couple pictures on Friday with Meghan. These bridal pictures were taken Nov. 28 by Andrea's room mate DeeDee.
