In December, we all went to San Diego for Ally & Zach's wedding! It was so fun because it was also our year to be together for Christmas so it felt like a big family reunion & then we were all together again a week later to celebrate Christmas!
We got to San Diego on Thursday & went to Con Pane for lunch. Then we met up for dinner at a Mexican/Seafood restaurant in Old Town & then went hot tubbing. It was so fun all being together! Nate & I stayed at his parent's house & everyone else stayed at La Hacienda in Old Town.
On Friday we went to the temple & Ally went through for the first time. It was really special since it was the first time all 5 sisters were in the temple together. Afterwards, we went & got Con Pane & pedicures, so fun! We got matching seafoam nails. Dad gave each couple $20 & said we would have a contest to see who could buy the best thing in Old Town, so we went shopping around there. I love walking around there, it is so cute with all of the little shops & lights. I ended up getting a cute little black & white pot with a succulent. Then we had dinner with Zach's family at a Mexican restaurant. It was the weekend of Mexican food, yum! After dinner I helped Ally arrange her wedding flowers & we hot tubbed & hung out at the hotel.
Saturday morning Nate was so nice & dropped me off at the hotel really early so I could be there to get ready with Ally & my other sisters. We got ready together (Ally did her own hair & makeup!), & then had breakfast together. Then we went to the temple for their wedding sealing! The sealing was perfect & we took pictures after & then headed to set up their reception.
Their reception was really laid back & so nice because we hardly had to set up or clean up anything! They had the same people that catered Nate & I's wedding & it was so good. They made fresh tortillas, tacos, beans, rice, horchata, & churros. Everything was sooo good!!! Ally had one of her friends, Tyke, play the guitar & sing during the reception & was sooo good! It felt so nice getting to eat the best food, listen to awesome music, & visit with Ally & Zach & family!
After the reception, we hung out with family & then Sunday we headed back to AZ.
-Some funny things to remember:
Ally was trying to work out the night before her wedding, doing lunges around the hotel at like 11pm, haha!
-We were all a little panicked because the flower vases for the reception kept blowing over & dumping water everywhere. We ended up just dumping out the water & having to run around & put them back up whenever they tipped.
-We were all dying laughing about Ally & Zach's kiss when they got married, Ally did a look at everyone like "this is my time" & whipped her head around really fast to do the kiss, it was sooo funny!
-When we got our pedicures after they painted the polish they came around & sprayed this stuff from an aerosol can. We were all a little nervous of what it was, especially Brittany!
Ally's classic grasshopper move.
