Mr & Mrs Havig

Now, the reason we were in Arizona to begin with. My sister, Kelsey, got married on February 19 in the Mesa, AZ Temple to Alex Havig. We were there for a whole week which was a blast, but it just went by way too fast!!! We got to go through the temple with her for her first time on Thursday night which was an awesome experience. The Mesa temple is absolutely beautiful and we were grateful to be able to attend with her. On Friday night I spent the night with my other sister Ashley at Kelsey's apartment, which was fun and very nice because that meant I got a night off from Tyler duty and got to sleep through the night (except that we didn't actually get to bed that night until 1:30 am...figures!!lol). It was fun, we started off the evening by getting pedicures with one of Kelsey's friends and my sister Gabrielle, went to In & Out Burger for dinner, talked, finished up her slideshow for the reception, and did some last minute shopping for the reception.

In the morning we got up and got ready for the big day!!
Kels, Me, Ash
Kelsey was surprisingly not nervous at all and was just excited all around! We were all ready about 45 minutes before we even had to be to the temple, which was nice because we could just sit and relax. The weather was absolutely horrible with terrible winds, and sideways rain making it also very cold! Despite that though Kelsey didn't let it ruin her day. The ceremony was done by our Grandpa and was absolutely beautiful! Because of the weather we couldn't do any pictures at the temple, so we all headed to the church where the reception was and did the pictures there. (The lighting in the gym was horrible so our eyes look all crazy and I couldn't fix them!)

Bridesmaids! (Love the dresses, but the shoes were killer and came off right after pictures!!)
Afterwards we went to the luncheon at Tia Rosa's, a delicious Mexican restaurant! It was truly amazing!The reception was a blast! It fit their personalities perfectly with dancing and tons of food and cake and even a couple games! Parker enjoyed running all through the gym and even loved dancing at the very end. It was decorated so cute and everything turned out so well!

I just love this picture of Kels and Tyler!
The boys sure love their Aunt Kelsey!
First Dance
Daddy Daughter Dance
Cutting the very cute cake!
They literally smashed the cake in each other's face...
Garter Toss (Look at their shoes!!)
They played this game where they raise the shoe of who they think is the answer to the question (For example, Who will clean the bathroom? They both raised Kelsey's shoe for that one, I'm pretty sure. There were several other questions that I can't remember, but it was a fun little game!)
Dancing with Parker...he had a blast (and kept a pretty good beat too)!
And there they go!!!
Congrats Alex & Kelsey!!!!
