The newlyweds are currently enjoying Jordan's 60 days of leave in Europe (like we did -- check out our European honeymoon
here). I don't want to entirely steal Nicole's wedding posting thunder, so I'll try to focus more on the family side of the wedding events and less on the bride and groom. And don't worry, when she gets home and posts all of her gorgeous pictures, I'll be sure to let you know!
Nicole and Jordan opted to do a more casual open house for their Utah friends on the Friday night before the wedding. They got married in the Salt Lake Temple on Saturday afternoon and had a dinner reception with their closest friends and family on Saturday night. Then, two weeks later, the lovebirds capped off their wedding celebrations with a reception near Jordan's home in Southern California.
The open house had a beautiful backyard garden wedding feel to it. Nicole wore an incredible lace dress that my mom made for her (yes, my mom is amazing!) and Jordan wore his service dress uniform. The tables were adorned with varied arrangements of wildflowers and the culinary highlight, per request of the bride, was rainbow chip cupcakes. It was a lovely night!
Looks like a wonderful time! Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. What a wretched time to catch the flu. I'm glad the newly weds were immune. Hope everyone is feeling better. What an awful way to kick off such a happy event!
ReplyDeleteThe open house was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and so were Nicole and Jordan!! I love all of these pictures, especially the ones of little Jakey! He is such a happy, smiley baby! :) I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhen you move back here and get settled in, you'll have to teach me how to make those DELICIOUS yellow & white sugar cookies! Brian LOVED them!
