Wedding Fun

A couple of weekends ago, we drove down to the LA area for Travis' cousin's wedding. It was nice to see family and be apart of a lovely wedding. JR and his wife were sealed in the Newport Beach Temple. The area and temple were beautiful.

Here is the gorgeous couple!
This is the pregnant lady line-up. Suzanne, my cousin, (on the left) is due the beginning of December, I'm due the beginning of January and my sister in law, Michelle, is due the beginning of February. Oh, and we are all having BOYS! We all hope they will be the best of friends!

They had their reception on a boat called "Eternity", which we thought was appropriately named. The harbor looked absolutely picturesque at sunset.

The event was 'black tie optional' and let's just say lots of fits were thrown, not only by me, about trying to find something appropriate. To try to find a modest dress that is fancy enough for a large pregnant woman was not the funnest experience. I still don't know if it was worthy enough, but I at least I wasn't wearing skinny jeans and converse, like some dude there.
Here is a picture of the immediate family that came to the event. We took up a whole row.

We had a little too much fun taking pictures of ourselves...

We had a really fun night and probably the highlight for me was watching a drunken lady dance in a dress that was a little too short.

The next day we walked around Laguna Beach and had to have lunch at BJ's Pizza. It's the home of the original Pazookie. It's basically a freshly baked cookie with ice cream on top. Michelle has been making them for years in ramekin dishes. I loved having the original, but I like our version a little better. I think our ratio of cookie to ice cream is perfected.

While we were walking around down town we saw this cute telephone booth. This was our first picture attempt and as we were walking away we saw a couple getting their pictures taken with the telephone booth and they did cute poses. So, we went back after they left and tried again to take a cuter picture. Against Travis' will, I might add. That's why he is not smiling!


JR's wedding was a great excuse to get together with family, who we won't be seeing for Christmas this year, thanks to my little bun in the oven.

You look so gorgeous Kate!!! Honestly. I'm so excited for you. That wedding looked like a blast. Love the black dress you found. Miss you :)

You looked fantastic in that black dress! The hair and dress made you look like a movie star. Totally looked legit for a black tie event. And a drunken lady at an LDS wedding reception? That would be interesting. And don't worry that Ben would totally be making an ugly face if I made him get in a phone booth with me.
