Josh & Leah's wedding was wonderful! Leah is very sweet and funny - she and Josh are a great couple. They had their wedding at a beautiful chateau in the Utah mountains. There were lots of flowers and topiaries, with winding paths, bridges and stairways scattered all around the main building. Swans and geese swam in the many ornamental pools and streams while peacocks and rabbits roamed the grounds. Leah looked gorgeous- and her three sisters, who were her maid of honor and bridesmaids, were stunning - all four sisters looked like they stepped right out of a fairytale. That family has four very beautiful girls. Big brother Eric was best man, Josh's friend Kyle was a groomsman (he told a great story about how he got to know Josh at the rehearsal dinner - I'll save that for later and share with Josh's permission - or just use the idea of it to bother him, big sister style), and nephew Brendan was the other groomsman. Emily loved being the flower girl. I think, in her dreams, every day should begin in a room like the bride's room with someone doing your hair and plates of goodies at your disposal and then involve walking down a long, winding staircase with people looking at you. All my boys - Joel, Caleb and Alex - looked so handsome. Caleb and Alex looked so grown-up. Joel took most of the pictures, so I don't have a lot of him. (ahem). He also took the kids on many walks around the grounds during the reception- they loved it there. When Josh and Leah left she was wearing an absolutely stunning going away dress, and well, I have no idea what Josh was wearing. Anyway, they left by going down a staircase to a waiting car while the guests held lit sparklers - I'd love a picture of that! Of course, Emily wanted to know what they were going to do with the left over sparklers after Josh & Leah left. I guess if you take away the beautiful dress, the hair, and the the flowers, she's still just a little girl at heart. I think about that and wonder if I'll ever really be ready to see Emily - or any of my kids - do this?
