The last of Ryan's good friends from college tied the knot this weekend. Rob and Cortney were married in the Las Vegas Temple and it was so beautiful!
Ryan and I drove down to Vegas Friday night after work. (I was totally exhausted so Ryan did the driving while I slept--what a GREAT hubby I have!) We stayed with my Uncle KC and Aunt Debra although we were so busy the whole weekend that we didn't get to see them very much. We pretty much went straight to bed when we got into town because we had to be at the temple at about 9:30 the next morning.
Rob's uncle is Elder Clarke of the First Quorum of the Seventy and so he was there to seal Rob and Cortney. It was a beautiful sealing and it was so personal for them since he knew them so well. In sealings I always think of the day Ryan and I were sealed and how thankful I am for that ordinance that seals families together forever. I can't imagine not having that knowledge. I'm so grafeful for the priesthood.
After the sealing and some fun pictures we headed to the luncheon where we had Macaroni Grill catered lunch. Mmm... It was good. Ryan got to hang out with his friend Rich and Rob's brother Scott so he had a blast with his old buddies. After the luncheon we had like 3 or 4 hours to kill before the reception started. Ryan decided to hang out with his old college friends and I hung out with some of the girls I knew from BYU who were friends of Cortney's.
It was funny because the original plan was to go shopping after we helped Cortney with some small task. However, this turned into us going to Cortney's house and spending about 2 hours helping cut up all the food for the reception. Don't get me wrong, I totally don't mind helping at all but it was just funny because all the people were asking me, "So, how do you know Cortney." To which I would resond, "Well, I don't." haha! I had to explain that my hubby was actually friends with Rob. Anyway, after finishing all the cutting and music-picking, we finally got to do some shopping. We headed to the huge H&M in Vegas and found some cute clothes. I just love shopping!
I met back up with Ryan at the reception, where we had some delicious crepes and fun dancing. Ryan got to catch up with all his friends and I got to laugh at all their funny stories.
Sunday we basically went to church with Uncle KC and then headed home.
We had so much fun on our Vegas vacation and are so happy for Rob and Cortney! We are happy to have another couple to hang out with!
I recognize some of those girls from Fleur De Lis. Looklike a fun trip!
