One of the reasons I decided to stay so long in Utah was so that I could attend my amazing friend Katelynn's wedding. You can read all about our friendship here. I was able to spend the few days before the wedding with Katelynn and her family. I twas such a fun and amazing experience. I am so grateful for the time I was able to spend with Katelynn and so grateful that she let me be a part of her wedding.
Katelynn's mom rented a log cabin up in Huntsville so the family stayed there the days leading up to the wedding and then the reception was held there. Katelynn invited me to stay the week there with them so Wednesday morning she and her mom picked me up. Wednesday afternoon we went to Ikea, Hobby Lobby, Costco, Winco, and a florist shop. Weddings require soooo much stuff! It's really quite insane. And then Wednesday night Katelynn had a bridal shower put on by the groom's family.
Putting on our "happy" faces for the shower!
We did a practice run on her hair to see how it would turn out. It turned out well considering we're both a little hair handicapped.
Of course a silly face, its me and Katelynn!

Thursday was another day of errands. And on Thursday night Katelynn went through the temple and received her endowments. I tagged along and took care of her 10 week old niece so that her sister Mallory could escort her.

As well as running errands, going to the shower, and attending the temple Katelynn and I sampled poppyseed cake that her mom was making, watched some Olympics, chatted late into the night, and partied with her family.

Lovely post! It made me nostalgic. I got married 5 years ago in one of the Chicago event venues and my best friend made it the best day of my life. She made sure everything was done as planned. I always wanted to get married the celebrity style and she did that. Friends are very important in life.
