Britni Smith, my dear sweet sister, joined forces with the one and only Timoteo Guillermo Ponce.
(its his true name. look it up.)
In the Salt Lake Temple they were sealed for time and all eternity! Mr. and Mrs Ponce looked ravishingly beautiful, as any newly married couple should. The day was full of smiles, and laughter. (and a few tears... but only the happy kind)
We began the day by waking up at 7:30ish to do everyone's hair...(poor girls at the Smith home didnt get to bed until after 2am.) Unfortunately some of the babies decided to spread some weird sickness about and we also woke up to a crying 2yr old who had just barfed in the crib. Perfect way to start a wedding day. So after much gagging and more aerosol spray than I could possibly begin to describe, we were all fresh and clean and ready to go!
While in the process of doing the Bride's hair, I was introduced to garlic scrambled eggs.. now, that look that you have on your face right now, I had the same one. However, my motto is Dont Knock It Til You Try It! So, I had a teeny tiny itsy bitsy little bite, and VAVOOM! I was hooked. These eggs are to DIE for! They totally changed my world when it comes to breakfast foods. Garlic eggs and toast with a tomato avocado spread? mmmmm. Im salivating at the mouth as I type. But really though, you should try them.
Once the Bride was all glammed up she took off with her mother dearest while I stayed to do two more heads of hair before running off to do two more! I guess thats one good thing about having a beautification lady in the family, you never have to go to a salon again. (my niece calls me "the beautification lady")
The Temple was gorgeous as it always is, and the couple was stunning. Pictures were freezing, but we all froze a smile to our faces and giggled at how loud our chattering knees were. Its always fun to have a family member getting married because it seems like during the family pictures there is always some child running amok. This case was no different, we had children running through dirt and splashing in water. Thankfully there were no flowers to destroy because they were preparing for the snow that we still havent received. After pictures were all over we parted ways to grab food and meet at the reception. Everyone in Brit's family except for Spencer and I went to the Lion House for Lunch/Dinner. We had to drive around to find gas first before we puttered to a pitiful end on the freeway towards Thanksgiving Point. In this way, we totally lucked out! For two reasons,
1. All but one who ate at Lion House recieved food poisoning!
2. Britni's sister Jen actually DID putter to a pitiful end RIGHT on the freeway. poor thing.
There are always a few mishaps at weddings, nothing to serious, just things to laugh about after the occasion is over. The reception was held at the Thanksgiving Point Garden Room. It was BEAUTIFUL! There were more photos, and a line, of course. There was also an ice cream bar, which I have to admit, was one of the highlights of the night. Throughout the course of the evening, we realized that no one had been dubbed the "get-away car destroyer". There was pandemonium for a few brief seconds until we asked the staff if they had any cool whip, saran wrap, and weird candies we could throw on their car. They said yes, and we went off to destroy...... however. we were not aware that in freezing cold temperatures, cool whip... melts. You read that right. It M.E.L.T.S. One would think the effect would be just the opposite, right? Well, you're wrong. And Im glad to be the one to educate you on this, even though I wish someone would have educated me, and then we would have used lip stick instead. BUT it didnt happen that way, so in the middle of our decorating we noticed that all of our "work" was sliding down the windows!! We thought fast, and secured the whole thing with saran wrap. In the end, it looked pretty bad, but it was fun.
I am so very very happy for my little sister!! Married life rocks! And Im also glad to now have Tim in the family, he's funny and witty and they're absolutely perfect together!
Happy Wedding Day Mr. and Mrs. Ponce!
