Getting Wedding Stuff Dunn!

Image
The day before the wedding and we are getting busy with All. The. Things. Wedding! Christy is in the kitchen non stop! It's officially her kitchen for three days.  Brian went with Jaime and I to run some errands. Grabbed some groceries as well as some flowers. Getting the last of the details taken care of. We took over decorations, flowers, yard games, and a fire pit over to the reception venue. It was fun to see them begin getting things set up. It was also fun to see that I wasn't stressing over getting everything set up and decorated! Having an event planner is way less stressful. I just say what we want, schedule things and times for rentals and flowers and then others take care of it all! It was good for me to have less stress right now. The last wedding preparations had me stressing so much I was actually losing sleep over it.  Back to the house and see Christy has made lots of progress on the cake! Chaz has left to have his time with his groomsmen so it's time for th...

Out Fishing

Isaac took Tyler fishing while some of us were out for the First Look photoshoot.  He was so excited to catch some! They had a blast. They talk about when they can go again. I love that these brothers were able to get some time together and are building a friendship.

Bridal Photo Session

Image
Unfortunately when I asked Lyndee if she could be our photographer again she had to say no as she wasn't currently doing well to work. We asked around for recommendations for a photographer. Multiple times we were told Maci Whitby. So I reached out to her. I'm so glad I did! We couldn't have been more happy with how she did.  April 15 Wednesday evening was scheduled for Olivia and Chaz to have their wedding photos and "first look" photos done. It made it so that Maci had more time after the wedding to take photos with family. And it makes it so she can get Chaz's first expression when he sees his beautiful bride.  It was soooo cold and windy! Sheila, Emma, and I went to help and watch the session. I was amazed how Maci got such gorgeous photos. These are mostly photos from my phone. I just took a few. Maci planned to get some to me as quickly as she could so that I could send off some pictures to get printed to have up at the reception. I loved the idea! Just ...

The Open House

Image
The wedding celebrating has begun! The wedding announcement and invitation. Chaz and Olivia ready for the open house! Sheila did a great job on fun little details. These bottles of hot sauce were so fun.  "Chaz & Olivia one hot couple" Wintergreen mints with tags that said "Olivia and Chaz Mint to be." The charcuterie board was no board but her entire kitchen island! It was beautiful and amazing. So many meats, cheeses, crackers, fruits (fresh and dried), candies, jams, nuts, olives.  Christy made the desserts. Raspberry mousse domes; raspberry lemon, chocolate, and strawberry macarons. Another lady made the mini bunt cakes. Everything was beautiful and tasted so good. They both did a great job in making these desserts.  Italian soda bars are always a hit.  Cousins getting together! Aidan, Makaela, Elise and Ezra. Liandrew on the trampoline with some of Chaz's nephews. The back yard was set up beautifully.  We felt so grateful for the support of family who m...

Arizona for the Open House

Image
Can't believe Olivia's wedding is almost here! She finished her semester at BYUI and flew to Arizona to spend a week with Grandma and Grandpa.  She's enjoyed her time with them. They always spoil her with her favorite foods and fun activities. They took her to a Suns basketball game.  We came a week later and spent some family time. We went to watch Liandrew play his baseball game... and his soccer game.  He was so cute to watch!  After the morning soccer game we went to Marcus and Aide's house where they made us breakfast burritos and yogurt fruit parfait bowls. It was delicious! I got a kick out of Lola. She's a good dog around people. Wish she liked other dogs but no one can bring their dog around her because she goes crazy trying to attack them.  And of course we get some pool time.  After all this we headed to the Hansen residence for the open house. It worked out that Olivia met a guy from only 40 minutes from her Grandparents house!
