Serena's wedding was this weekend and it was a blast. I had so much fun that I caught a cold. I was just having to much fun and partying to much with like no sleep. Friday was the wedding day. I woke up super tired and had shannon curl my hair for me b/c I cant curl my own hair. I suck at it. Norris and I drove up to the Bountiful Temple and got there and waited for everyone to get there. Cameron’s family was there and ready but Serena and her family weren’t there yet. Serena showed up just in time and I got to see her walk in super excited and pretty! Then we were all brought up to the sealing room and waited for it to start. Serena came in with Cameron hand in hand. Serena was in her wedding dress and looked amazing. I loved her dress and her hair. She looked just as gorgeous as I had hoped and imagined, probably even better then i imagined her. :) The sealer talked for a while and then got very serious and gave them advice about living in everyday and being happy now not when school is over. There sealer was the Mr. Mac guy that owns the suit store in Provo. He was very nice and funny. I loved seeing all of her families faces and how happy they all were, especially her dad and mom. I bet its a great feeling for them b/c they had there entire family there, all there kids were in the temple with them. That has to be an amazing feeling and what a parent wishes for. Serena was laugh crying through the sealing and especially at the end when everyone were giving her hugs. She defiantly had to fix her makeup after while we waited for her to come out of the temple.
We all took picture after and waited till the lunch in started. Then we headed to the lunch in and eat good food and had fun sitting with Aaron, Nickell, Kade, Tadd, Brandon, and Janessa. We got to write notes/ advice to the bride and groom during lunch. I wrote something like kiss every time one of you walk in the door each day. Next we headed up to Cameron’s house to help get stuff for the reception. We got to the reception place and tired to set up. I helped with the flower. I cant believe we got everything done in time. I guess thats what happens when you have lots of siblings. It looked very fun and bright. I liked it.
Serena’s dad was pretty funny because he brought his dog, Buddy, and it came to everything. It kept getting out at the lunch in and Debbie was getting pretty mad. Warren loves that thing and wanted it in the family photo but everyone said NO! Norris and I were laughing about Warren and his dog like all day. Serena came a little later fluttered because she lost her purse. Someone left it at the temple and it was gone when they went back to get it. Cam and her had to go get a temporary license at the DMV for her so she could board her plane the next day. CRAZY. Well all worked out and the reception was great. We eat, hung out at a fun table, saw friends came, and watched the beautiful bride and her new hubby.
We got to see Jess & Harrison, Our friends the Potters, and Logan & Carly. The dancing came next and Serena was super happy. It got really really hot in there so I took breaks and sat outside with Kyle, Jaden and Norris. They weren’t up for dancing but it was fun to dance with Shannon, Serena, Serena's friends and family. Later they cut the cake and were nice and gentle feeding each other. I thought oh this is a sign that they will light never fight. We all slow dances. I love slow dancing with Norris he is good at it:) Then they did a money dance and Serena had money everywhere, haha she must have made bank. They did the garter and bouquet toss. It was funny cause Cam did a little dance around Serena before he went in for the garter. Serena and her dad got to dance together and it was very cute. Then came time to say good bye. I gave Serena a big huge and said i love you and your are beautiful. We all lined up outside with sparklers and cheered as they said good bye and drove off. We helped clean up just a little and left b/c i was exhausted. We came home to the Jensen’s and watched a good movie and Shannon and I were like the only ones that could stay awake.
It was a busy, crazy, fun, happy day. I told myself not to cry cause as soon as I did I knew I wouldn’t stop. So I held it together nicely. Serena and Cameron are really great for each other from what I can see. I love seeing Serena so happy.
