The Royall Wedding!





The royall wedding it was indeed. Most beautiful wedding I have been to and of course the most beautiful couple! My dear sister got married this last Saturday and I couldn’t be happier for her and Cam! There was lots of stress leading up to the day but once it got here every little thing was all worth it! I was in Richfield the week prior to the wedding trying to help out with the little last minute things. Poor Scoti didn’t know what was going on. She is used to being held and played with at all times during the day and I was sewing chair ties all day everyday so she took the floor on a blanket watching baby Einstein. She’s a trooper though and loves watching tv for some freakish reason. I headed up north Thursday afternoon to make it to a little bachelorette party for Lindie. We went to dinner and then went back to Cams sisters place for presents. She got some good gifts(If you know what I mean) and I took a nice trip into Spencer’s and got a few things I thought they’d enjoy honeymoon night! Haha I’m expecting a big thank you from Cam in a few days… J

Bachelorette Party! 
Friday came and we all couln’t believe the wedding would be the next day! We still had lots of errands to run, Lindie needed to pack for her honeymoon and we had to be up at Sundance to start decorating that afternoon. As Lindie was putting things together she couldn’t find her earings. Which doesn’t seem like a big deal but it was indeed. We knew they were irreplaceable and we knew we couldn’t find anything like them. We searched everywhere possible and I think Lindie was ready to call of the wedding without them. Just joking.. but like really.. Well needless to say my dad found them in his closet. Weird I know, but it works. That afternoon everyone else showed up. Chad came up with my grandparents and the rest of the family got here throughout the day. We decorated till the wee hours and then headed to the hotel to get some rest for the big day!
This was a result of being in a hurry. Backed right into a pole. I'm trying to still convince Chad he should just be happy it was only the mirror and not a door or something more! 
I woke up that next morning and all I could think about was remembering how I felt the morning I woke up on my wedding day and thought Lindie has got to be feeling this same way. That nervous, excited, freaking out feeling. Lindie was already getting her hair done so I went over and chatted with her and Julia. Her hair turned out beautiful! It was so different but amazing and looked so great on her. Lindie, my mom and my dad left about an hour earlier than everyone else to the temple then Chad and I left and Bay, Scoti, Ashton and the other boys would leave about an hours after us. I was so nervous leaving Scoti to come with bailey. Not that I don’t trust Bay, ha she was Scoti’s second mother all week but knowing bay had to get herself ready and Scoti and the boys worried me and then being on the freeway with her. I didn’t know if Bay was okay on the freeway or what. Chad and I got to the temple though and it was a zoo. I swear they marry like 100 couples a day up at the Salt Lake Temple. It was still perfect though. The sealing was so amazing and the royalls had a family friend of theirs do it. I cried through the whole thing. Once we got out of the temple Bay had safely made it with Scoti and the boys and we all waited patiently outside for them. We got lots of family pictures and this was a big deal because we have not had a family picture since I was probably in Middle School. Everyone was there and it felt good to be one big happy family.

After the temple we needed to be up at Sundance a little before 4 for more pictures and what not. Well the only bad part of the day was a darn traffic jam. Worst traffic jam in history I think. Needless to say, her ring ceremony and dinner started at 5 and most of us rolled in about fifteen after 5. We were already in a crunch for time so it was kind of crazy trying to get everything started and going. It all went on though and was still perfect! They did a ring ceremony, had the most delicious dinner, lots of toasts, tears and fun. Between the transition of the dinner and reception we got to go take all our pictures. I can’t wait for the pictures to come back from the reception and everything else. The reception turned out as well. They had a crepe bar.. sweet and savory. And a drink bar. Yes I had a few crepes and a lot of drinks. They had a really good band playing the whole night, a photo booth & their favor was so cute. They did a cute vinyl saying for everyone. I’m not even doing the wedding justice and I’m typing a 10 page paper. I took a few pictures but it doesn’t even show how amazing it all looked and was. I’m excited to see the photographers pictures once she gets them back. 
Lindie's Garter I made her.

You really can't tell how beautiful it actually was.

The favor




They also had a videographer that I just loved and was pretty bummed I didn't do that at my wedding but here is the video of them at the temple. They did one of the reception as well but they haven't gotten that one back yet. I'm so excited for when they do. This video will make you want to fall in Love if you aren't already. You can just tell how much they love and adore each other! I'm so happy for both of them and am happy to have a new brother! 

I'm a little blog stupid so I actually have no clue how to post a video so just copy and past into your url if you want to watch! :)

Last but not least I had to share this picture. It was after Lindie's wedding we were orignally going to drive to Richfield but once it was all over and done with we were oh so tired so went to go stay at one of our cousins. We hadn't packed our pack n play because we had just used the hotels when we were there so when we got to their house Chad immediately said he would sleep on the floor so Scoti could sleep in the bed with me. I was laying in bed looking at both of them snooze and had to take pictures. True love Chad has for his little girl.
