Weddings!

It's the end of the semester and you know what that means! Weddings!! Two of Bryan's friends got married this weekend, well, one was this Monday, which isn't technically a weekend, but it felt like one to me because I didn't have to go to work.

I love weddings. I love seeing the happy couples, the beautiful decorations, the interesting ideas and above all, the cake (most of the time, fondant=gross, no matter the kind or what people say). If you ask Bryan, I'm sure he'd tell you how I like comparing the weddings to my own and how they never measure up.....which I can't argue with. They never do. Seriously, mine was classic and timeless. But enough of that. I will complain that I "dislike" walking through the reception line, especially when I barely know one person from the couple, but that's life. Oh, and I dislike it when they don't have food. That's another way most of these Utah weddings will never measure up. In my family, we know how to feed people, and thank goodness. That being said, both of these weddings were beautiful and yes, they had food.

First we went to Peety's. That's short for Peterson, which is short for Anthony Douglas Peterson. The only two people in the world who still call him Peety is Bryan and me. Everyone else calls him Andy, which isn't Tony short for Anthony? They had their reception in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Their colors were pink and green, very springy. Sorry, no pictures and I even had my phone.

Next was Mark's. They had their reception at Le Jardin in Sandy. That place is beautiful. Plus, you don't really have to decorate, there's flowers everywhere! I think Mark's reception line has been the easiest to go through. Number one, his family is SOOO nice. Number two, they think I'm beautiful and that Bryan's lucky. How could I not like them? I told Bryan that we had to take a picture, because we never remember to and how are we supposed to document our life if we don't? So this is what turned out.

Then we had to take some of the happy couple. Yeah, they actually got to eat some of their cake too. I got the one little bite and I never saw it again. Thank you family.
So yeah. We had a great time! Plus Bryan danced with me, and you know how I love to dance. We were actually the only people slow dancing and then a few minutes later the dance floor was full. Oh yeah, we're cool. I'm pretty sure the photographer thought we were so cute too and took some pictures. Plus we stopped for some sushi afterward and it was delish!! So anyway, that was what has been going on the last little bit of our lives.

Sorry you only got one bite of your cake! We had leftovers forever, and it was sooo guuud. We even saved the top of the cake for you guys to take home and put in the freezer...'cept it never got wrapped up. It got left out and went bad. Don't know why that happened.

But I can give you both cake recipes and you can make them for your anniversary!

My wedding cake was GORGEOUS, but I was not a fan of the taste. I made the groom's cake - three tiers of chocolate and strawberry perfection. It lasted about five minutes.

I also can not stand receiving lines. I just don't get them at all. It is a very Mormon thing to do. Of the thousands of weddings I have done, Mormons are the only ones I have ever seen do a line.

And yes, food at the reception is a MUST. We had a fantastic caterer. And she sent us home with a picnic basket full of everything, just in case we didn't get any during the reception (because we were standing in a line watching everyone else eat it all, of course!).

Your cake really was super yummy, I'm sad for you. Anna, as always, did a great job. PS: have you always been a sushi person?
