Let Them Eat Cake!!

So yesterday after work, my night was full of fun, wedding cake, family, flowers, food, I Do's, and garters! Two of my cousins got married yesterday and I was so happy I was able to be there to help them celebrate.
My first reception was for my cousin, Danielle (my dad's sister's daughter), got married here in Provo at the reception hall. It was BEAUTIFUL. Her colors were gorgeous, the set up and decorations were amazing, and Danielle and her new husband were so happy. I got to see so many of my family members that I hadn't seen in a very long time. Their ceremony was held outside, and then we congratulated the couple and took a whole lot of pictures. After the pictures, we went inside the reception hall and enjoyed each other's company, ate yummy cake, had the bouquet and garter toss (No, I didn't catch the bouquet, dang it!), and took more pictures! Danielle had her main wedding cake and then she had like 5 OTHER cakes too! It was like Heaven! It was very difficult to choose, but I ended up eating the main wedding cake which was chocolate and buttercream frosting, MY FAVORITE! It was a very elegant and fun celebration.

The other reception I went to was for my cousin Allen. It was held outside and it was done very nice as well! Lots of people, food, dancing, family, and entertainment. I arrived right as they were cutting their cake and I spent the time talking to my family, listening to the great music, watching them dance their "first dance", and trying to catch the bouquet (which I didn't catch either! :). It was kind of sad when there was this huge gust of wind that came through and knocked over some of the flower vases and wedding pictures in frames and all broke! But it was a very happy event and it was so fun to watch Allen and his new bride show how happy they were to be together. By the end of the night, I was very worn out and ready for bed.
