Heidi's Wedding: One Down, Seven to Go

OR

WHY I WILL RUN
AWAY AND ELOPE
and save myself the stress of a wedding and reception


My little sister Heidi married her fiancé Doug in the Nashville Tennessee Temple on 5 September 2009. What follows is a visual record of the occasion (well, at least the seemingly happier parts of it). Thanks to Meg and her mom, Miss Jean, for the pictures.



The bridesmaids: (l to r) Lizzie, Dominique, Meg, and me


"Becca, let me give you some advice: don't make me wear red at your wedding".


Boredom is a scary thing (waiting for Heidi and Doug to come out of the temple).


They're married.


Don't they look so happy?


All the bridesmaids and the junior bridesmaids. My sister Becca is on the far left; his sister Paige is on the far right. That's my youngest sister Marianne in the middle. I'm the one making the weird face.


Showing off our shoes and bouquets! (Those shoes hurt!) Mine is the pretty big red rose.


Saving a space for our brother, Stephen, who's on a mission in Hong Kong.


His and hers families


Nathan, bored with it all and tired of being forced to smile for pictures, takes a phone call from Grandma Saunders.


Marianne takes a break from all the heat and humidity in the shelter of the temple's porch.


The absolutely ginormous cake - it would have fed a reception four times the size of Heidi's. A friend of ours in our ward generously made it as her wedding gift.


...and the infamous bouquet toss. Guess who caught it?
