Wedding

Our good friend, Brittany Brown, was married on Friday in the Draper temple. I arrived home from work on Thursday night. Brandon was down in Arizona. Broden and I flew to Salt Lake City early Friday morning and Brandon met up with us a few hours later. My friend, Amanda Rich, picked us up from the airport and let us use their car for the day. Brittany had a breakfast/reception on Friday morning before the sealing at a reception center in Draper. We brought Broden along. Each table introduced themselves and then we had breakfast. We only had a moment to give Brittany a hug. We dashed out early due to the disruptive nature of our son. I left with so many questions. Brandon and I had not met her fiancé, Greg, before that day. We didn't know how they met, what his story was, and what their plans were. She did look very happy though.

We dropped Broden at Amanda's house and headed back to the sealing. It was short and sweet. We planned on leaving right away but Lucy, Brittany's mom, told us not to leave until she had a chance to talk with us. We were among the very last to leave. It was nice getting caught up with Lucy, who was one of my mother-in-laws closest friends.

Two funny stories. First, Brandon was trying to entertain Parx, Brittany's two year old son from her first marriage. Parx wanted his mom but his mom was still taking pictures so Brandon took him around the temple grounds to find bugs. After awhile they passes by some young women and Brandon told Parx to say hi. Parx said hi and then pointed to Brandon and said "this is my dad." When it was time for Parx to return to his mom and Greg, he didn't want to go. It looks like Brandon won him over. Next, while we were at a stop light, Brandon mentioned that the guy in the truck next to us was staring over in our direction. So Brandon waved. Then Brandon started to roll down his window (I guess the other guy rolled his down first.) We thought that maybe he saw something wrong with the car. He proceeded to say something along the lines of "your wife is very beautiful. I hope you take good care of her. I tell it like it is and she is beautiful....etc." I didn't expect this at all and said thank you but totally started blushing. It was flattering even though he was in his mid-fifties. 

That night we stayed at Matt and Amanda's. We had Thai food for dinner and talked until we were all exhausted.

Matt took the funniest picture of Broden.
