Megan's Wedding

On June 12 Megan Baird got married to Joseph Boster and she asked me to be a bridesmaid! It was my first time being a bridesmaid. It was so fun! I was so glad that I was able to go and spend the weekend with my close friends from high school. The weekend started out with me, my cousin, and her fiance driving from Provo to Richland. It was a long drive but I slept basically the ENTIRE way! It is a talent I have. I got to my house on Thursday evening and I immediately began working on my present for Megan's wedding. It was a scrapbook of memories her and I shared. It was my first scrapbook and I learned a lot from doing it...like scrapbooking is hard and takes a lot of time! But I do love it! I stayed up until 4 AM finishing the scrapbook and then headed off to bed for a short 5 hours.

When I woke up it was time to head over to Emily's house and begin the bridesmaid preparations for the wedding. Because I went to bed late, I slept in, which made me late to Emily's'. The other girls were mostly ready so they all pitched in to help me get ready. I was kneeling while Emily and Maddi curled my hair and Sharee painted my nails. All of a sudden, the fumes from the nail polish and the heat from the curling iron got to me. I thought I was going to faint! It was crazy! My ears were ringing, my vision blackened and I thought for sure I was a goner. Sharee realized something was wrong, laid me down, and nursed me back to health (she's in nursing school right now). Soon after I felt well enough and it was time to head to the temple to meet the newlyweds!

Megan looked so beautiful and extremely happy. In all the years I have known her, I have never seen her look so happy! The rest of the day consisted of taking A TON of pictures. Seriously, wherever I went there were the photographers taking pictures. It was like they were the Paparazzi. It was crazy but after awhile I got used to it. The lunch-in and reception were both very beautiful and had great entertainment. Joseph sang at both of them and Megan sang at the lunch-in. They both have beautiful voices! The reception came to a close after I caught the bouquet and everyone held sparklers as the newlywed made their way to the car. Although the day was wonderful...the shoes that we wore were SO painful! Seriously I almost cried at moments. By the end of the day I was so grateful that the line at the reception was in the grass so that I could dig my heels into the grass and almost stand flat-footed. But it was definitely worth it! It was a great day!
