Really, an amazing story...
Yesterday was such a great day. My cousin Jordan and his beautiful bride Irena were sealed in the Salt Lake temple. To make a very long story short, my cousins Chad & Jordan, from Spanish Fork, are now both married to sisters, Alba & Irena, from Albania. Jordan served his mission there...It really is like something you would see in the movies (...at least an LDS movie!) It was such a blessing to have their mom, Loretta, there with them in the temple. Even just a few days ago she was denied a visa from the U.S. Embassy in Albania. It was an amazing day in so many ways.
We started the morning bright & early with the wedding party at my house...how did I get so lucky anyway? (It was sooo fun to have you all here.) Hollie, my make-up-artist-sis, did all of their makeup. As you will see, her talents & their beauty turned out to be the perfect combination!
I love days like this, and to have had two family weddings in one week, I am feeling spoiled. The only thing missing was Kyle! He was in Idaho to attend his Grandpa Adams funeral. It was too bad that everything happened all at once, but thankfully we were represented at both important events!
It really is times like these that remind you how important family is. I am so thankful for all of the special people we have in our lives! I am also so thankful for the blessings of the temple and the direction, peace & happiness the Gospel brings to our lives.

I'd really like to hear more of this amazing story... I can't believe how much you guys have going on right now. Sorry about Kyle's grandpa. And I have to agree with the previous comment: You do take the best pictures!
Their kids will love that story of how mom and dad got together. Beautiful couple and great pics!
What a stunning couple and beautiful pictures! How fun that you and Hollie are both so artistic in your own ways!
Looks like a great occasion. You and Hollie should start a business! The bride looked beautiful. We missed you in Idaho, but we kept a good eye on Kyle!
You are so right it was a wonderful day...It only could have been better if our boys could have been there. Irena and Alba are so lucky to have each other-I should know because I have you and Tiff. We are such lucky gals. Thanks for letting the craziness into your house yet again and for all your help. It was so great!-did you post the rolls? How could it not have been perfect when someone gets up early and makes homemade sweet rolls for breakfast?
I want Hollie to do a make-over on me! She did a beautiful job. Your cousins are lucky guys, those girls are gorgeous! It looks like it was a perfect day! We did miss you though, Heather!
Wow. You go to lots of weddings. HOw fun... and gorgeous pics!
What a beautiful couple. What beautiful sisters! You take amazing pictures. You, Hollie, and Tiff need to start a business. I love amazing love stories like that. We really did miss you this weekend, but Kyle kept us entertained as usual. Hollie feel free to do my make up anytime!!!
Hello Heather,
