Kim Got Married!

Kim & I met back in 6th grade. We were in the same group of friends all through school, and became really good friends about the time we both started filling out mission papers. Kim got her call first, I got mine a week later. We were both called to missions in Brazil, and we left two weeks apart. We bonded over excitement & nervousness as we prepped to leave for Brazil! We were in the Brazil MTC together for 6 weeks and had a glorious time! We have been super close ever since! Last weekend Kim married a really good guy named Brad. They are pretty perfect for each other!

For having a wedding in January, they really lucked out! The day was beautiful, and not as cold as it could have been. They were sealed in the Salt Lake temple, and it was perfect! My favorite advice that the sealer gave Brad was this: "Never confuse being the head of the household with being the brains of the household!" Made me smile!

Sister Gold was Kim's MTC companion so we all became friends there. She flew in from Denver to come to the wedding.

I love this girl! We had so much fun in the MTC!

Kim, Charisse, Bethany and I have all been friends since 6th grade. We've gone through a lot together! We don't get to see each other often now, but it is fun every time we get together! We weren't sure Charisse was going to make it (she had her first baby seven days before the wedding) but she made it just in time for the sealing.

After we took pictures we headed to the Joseph Smith Memorial building for the wedding luncheon. My parents had their wedding breakfast in the room just down the hall from where we were, so we ran down to look around while we waited for the couple.

Kim & Brad had their wedding reception at a beautiful mansion. It was huge & lots of fun. Doesn't Kim look lovely? She glowed the whole day!

Kim asked me to be her maid of honor, which was so much fun!

There was cake cutting,

and cake smashing.

Flower throwing, (Bethany caught the bouquet)

Way to go Beth!

And car decorating.

(I may have found the best man and begged to be involved in this.
I am not a fan of the bouquet toss, but I LOVE to decorate cars!)

Congratulations Brad & Kim!
You two are PERFECT for each other!
