The Wedding!

We had a short bachlorette party the night before the wedding. :)

The wedding party.

The bridesmaids and matron of honor (me). Kelsey, Kristilyn, Emily and I. I was the only non-blond!!!! It was also really windy which wasn't helping my already bad hair day!

Abby and Joseph when they came out of the Temple.


I was able to be Abby's escort through the Temple for her endowment and then for the sealing. It was really special to be there with her for everything. Neal got to escort Joseph also! Neal and I got married in Nauvoo around the same time 3 years ago. Abby and Joseph met for the first time at our wedding. When Joseph came back from his mission we suggested they talk and hopefully date. It has been really fun to watch their relationship develop and be there for every step, right up to the sealing!

The wedding day was BUSY BUSY BUSY! We had to drive to Iowa City right after the sealing for the ring exchange and then straight to the reception from there. Neal and I gave toasts because we were the Best Man and Matron of Honor. There were lots of little things that didn't go right but in the end, they were married and ecstatic about that! Congratulations to Abby and Joseph Thorin!!!
