Chelsie is a very close friend of mine--like a little sister I never had. I met her while serving as a missionary for 18 months in San Antonio, TX. A few years later, Bob and I let her live with us for a month while she got back on her feet after couple of exceptionally difficult years of life and trials. Once she got her life in order, she met a fantastic man named Josh, and they fell head-over-heels in love. Within a matter of months they were engaged, and married shortly thereafter.
The wedding was in Salt Lake City, UT, and it wasn't until after Bob and I had moved to San Diego. But Chelsie means enough to me that I was willing and excited to drive up for the celebration and help her out in whatever ways she needed to make the wedding as special as possible.
So while there for a week, I helped her make her veil, her bouquet, and Josh's boutonniere. She's not the extravagant type, so a simple little bouquet and a plain veil with a ribbon sewn around the edge was all she wanted. I also fixed her hair for her.
I was going to add a train to her dress too, but I came down with the flu the day I was going to do it. Miraculously, I was perfectly well during the entire day-of the wedding, but the following day I was back to feeling sick and recovering for two or three weeks after that. Weird, but I'm so thankful that I was well enough to be there for the full day of celebrating!
Here are a bunch of photos I took from her wedding day.
They were so happy as they walked out of the temple where they were married for time and all eternity.
Cute and simple bouquet & boutonniere.
And just look at the love oozing from them!
Chelsie's and Josh's families combined.
Chelsie & her mom. I love both of these ladies!
Me and Chelsie.
I was so happy and the sun was so bright that I couldn't help but get squinty-eyed.
And this is my favorite picture I got of them. They're so in love it's absurd. And wonderful.
Congratulations to you both!
I couldn't be happier in your choice of spouse--either of you!
