Brett and Sarah's Wedding

Our good family friends got married this past weekend in Orlando, Florida. We flew Travis' sister Breezy out from DC to watch all 3 kids while Travis and I drove the 7 hrs down to see Brett and Sarah sealed in the Orlando Temple. I have to say it was one of the most enjoyable road trips we've had in a loooong time!!! We blasted music, sang at the top of our lungs, did impersonations and I bellowed the whole soundtrack to Wicked.

Don't they make a cute couple??? The sealing was soooo sweet. It was very special and we were so glad we were there.
The temple was so gorgeous. It was a beautiful sunny day but SO HOT!! It was 90 degrees and so muggy you walked outside and began sweating in more places that you would like to know! Travis and I enjoyed having the weekend off as parents and just be a couple. We had such a great time together, loved talking and laughing all night. We splurged and got a nice hotel for 2 nights, it was awesome!

This was the grooms side that was at the Wedding. It's a tiny pic, sorry! On the left you can spot Aunt Christina and Uncle Paul, then Brad ad Vicki. We are on the other side by the bridesmaids.

Brett asked Travis to stand-in for Danen. (Travis' little brother Danen was one of Brett's best friends. Brett was there when Dane died) The pic below shows off both of their nubs! Brett has 2 fingers that are shorter and Travis' thumb is missing. Perfect photo op! ha ha

Okay there is a really funny story that goes along with this picture....After a small ring ceremony, they held a reception at the hotel. They fed us a really great meal, had lots of toasting and we had a blast dancing. At one point Travis looked over at this cute down-syndrome girl who was dancing alone on the dance floor. She walks right over to him and puts out her hand. Of course Travis takes it. They go around in a huge circle around the dance floor. This is their conversation:
Girl: You're cute.
Travis: Thanks.
Her dad comes up to "rescue" Travis saying: Can I cut in?
Girl: Go away! Scram!
Her dad: But he's a married man!
Girl: Shut up!
Girl: I'm going to put my head on your chest now.
They dance for quite a while, it was one of the highlights of the night!
Congratulations to the happy couple!! We love you guys and are excited you'll be in our ward!
I'm bummed we didn't get any pics of Breezy's time with the kids--they all had a great time. Thanks so much Breez, you are the BEST!
