I especially love weddings of people I know and love. On Saturday, Chris and I were able to attend the wedding of one of our dear long-time friends, Jared Slade. Jared and Chris served together in the Ohio Cleveland Mission many, many years ago, and we've managed to keep in touch. My favorite memories with Jared are the six consecutive years of Christmas Around the World and our late night dinners afterward with the OCM gang (remember how much fun we had, Jill?!), and our trip to Ohio five years ago. I'm going to post a picture of our group-- Jill and Drew Petersen, Josh Probert, Jared and us at the Kirtland Temple-- it was such a great trip. Anyway, we were absolutely thrilled to find out that Jared was engaged and even more thrilled to meet his beautiful new wife, Amanda. The couple was so happy, their joy couldn't help but rub off on everyone else. I couldn't imagine a better time to reunite with old friends and to celebrate all of the love and hope life has to offer. It was a great day.
The happy couple-- Jared and Amanda Slade!
I don't think we can be considered newlyweds anymore, but we're still stinkin' cute! (Thanks Jill, for letting me steal some pictures!)
We hadn't seen the Petersens forever, so seeing them made the day especially sweet!
The OCM boys-- Petersen, Probert, Slade & Hansen!

Ohhh... I like the sound of a wedding a year, but that would mean an aweful lot of dieting to fit into "the dress" which hey, I guess thats not half bad...but what happens when you're preggers? Then is it considered a shot-gun wedding?
I am so sorry I didn't email these to you! I suck! I kept telling myself I needed to. I am glad you took them off my blog though!
You are stinkin' cute and Chris is definitely the cutest of the four pals. I can't wait for our trip to Colorado!
I'm the same - I love a good wedding! And I noticed you're listening to Regina Spektor. I can listen to "That Time" over and over! SO CHEAP AND JUICY!
Haha when I saw the title "Love is in the Air" I was prepared for a comment in my direction. But it looks like the wedding was a lot of fun!
i love weddings too! and you two are stinkin' cute!
You and Chris really do look fantastic. Maybe you could renew your vows like Ray and Debra! "I feel like the luckiest man...on the face of the earth...."
yes weddings are amazing! when are you guys coming to visit again?? That's exciting that Tom lost his tooth. About weddings, it makes me wish I had one to look back on :)
you look so fantastic, love how long your hair is getting...a great perk from being prego!
That is neat to have such good friends from Chris's mission. You and Chris are stinkin' cute!
