Let’s see…this Saturday…sure, no problem. Since it was THURSDAY. Thanks for all the warning! But to be fair, she didn’t really even know herself until Wednesday, so I guess she gave me almost as much notice as she gave herself.

So, I checked my frequent flier miles, and sure enough, purchasing the van had given us a heavy dose of extra miles and I had enough for a ticket. After a few quick arrangements, Nolan and I were off on a plane by 7:30am on Friday morning. Nolan was a dream on the airplane (no kidding!). I guess after taking two children by myself, travelling with one was like a vacation! Especially when it’s the one who doesn’t talk back.

We spent most of the whole day on Friday wedding dress shopping. There is a little part of me that has to despise someone who can buy a wedding dress THE DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING, and find three to choose from off the rack that need no alteration (at least nothing more than two small safety pins can’t fix). We also had pedicures and lunch, and Nolan stuck it out the entire day, being a happy little camper. I couldn’t believe how absolutely well behaved he was.

On Saturday, the wedding was gorgeous. It was in their Bishop’s back yard outside of Draper, and you’d never know they had only 48ish hours to throw something together. It was neat to see how many people rearranged schedules to be there and support them. And no, though most of you may be thinking I hang out with weirdos who run off and get married on a whim, the short story is that she really isn’t off her rocker (well, not about this, at least). Her new husband is a wonderful man who is totally devoted to her and I’m happy that they’ve found each other!

I spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with my Sister-in-law, her husband and their daughter in Draper. It was so fun to hang out and have some quality time with them. Mylie and Daddy got to have some good bonding time as well, so it turned out to be a fabulous weekend all around.
