May arrived, school ended, and all taffeta broke loose. Hello wedding season! This summer, we have 8 weddings to attend within a 12 week spread! I'm hoping to make it to at least half of them. Add in 1 new M7 niece being born, a college graduation in Oregon, 2 of the M7 boys graduating from Utah State, Levi starting a new job, countless niece and nephew birthdays, and trying to take advantage of the nice weather and my parents living closer.......... I think I need a nap!
One of Levi's mission companions, Justin Despain got married on May 18th, and as Levi was a groomsman, we got to be involved in ALL the festivities. Jen and Justin wanted a "Disney Princess" wedding, so their theme was "Our Happily Ever After".

| Levi made a beautiful groomsman. |
The reception was all things Disney...
 |
| Each table centerpiece was based on a different Disney Princess. |
The food was all things Disney...
 |
| In case some of these are hard to see, those are (starting top left and going clockwise): Jasmine's Gold Sugar Cookie Coins, Pascal's Cupcakes, Button Cookies, Ariel's Sand Dollar Cookies, Rose's Cupcakes, Pocahontas Hummingbird Nests, the Snuggly Duckling Watering Hole, Fruit Flower bouquets, Mulan's Fortune Cookies, Cinderella's Mice Truffles, Pretzel Fairy Wands, Belle's Magical Rose Shortcakes, and a magical light up princess castle. |
Jen and Justin also asked each member of the bridal party and their significant other to participate in a Disney Princess photo shoot. Luckily, I already owned a green dress and had just found a box from Mom's that had my prom tiara in it. So we chose Tiana and Prince Naveen, from Princess and the frog.

| Pretty good likeness, right? I told Levi to make a "suave" face lol. |
As a whole, I think we looked pretty swell.
 |
| Her dad and grandpa even joined in as kings. |
What a day!
Almost exactly a month later, it was Dallas (Levi's brother) and Laci's wedding. They went for more of an outdoor, superhero theme. It was beautiful!
Only 4 more weeks, and 3 more weddings to go! :)
