Jared and Joni's Wedding

My little brother Jared got married on Saturday December 29th in the Draper temple.  It turned out to be a wonderful day.  I always love weddings because it means you get to see all your extended family and lots of close friends too.  They didn't have a reception, instead they did a huge dinner up at Sundance with about 240 people.  It was by far the fanciest wedding I've ever been to. The decorations were unreal.  The pictures don't do it justice.  I'm so excited to have Joni as a sister in law.  I couldn't have chosen better for my brother.  Once again, the picture are totally out of order.
 
Instead of having a cake, they had a pinata cake.  Jared and Joni were the only ones that hit it, but there was tons of candy in there for everyone.
 
First Dance

 
At the end of the dinner and program we danced the night away.  Jared's friends were so entertaining.  They are all such good dancers. 
 
It was cold outside, like 12 degrees maybe.
Joni looked beautiful 
 
Poor Girl was so cold.  She wore a fur coat most of the time, but took it off for pictures.  I felt bad for her.

Derek was missing because his wife's water broke the morning of the wedding.   They had their first baby on Jared's wedding day.

My cousin Mikelle loves babies.  Carson actually fell asleep on her for a good hour or so during the dinner.

Jared surprised Joni and sang 2 songs.  One was "I won't give up" by Jason Mraz and the other one was "Can't get enough of your love" by Barry White.  The first was beautiful and a tear jerker, the second one was hilarious.  He is an amazing singer.

Matthew and Kendra are SO STINKIN CUTE together.  They have a blast together.  They wrestle and hold hands and play non stop.  It's adorable for lack of a better word.  They were dance partners all night and it was so so cute.
 
 
Carter is such a big helper and always steps in when needed.
