Kala's Wedding

So I haven't posted for a while. This is due to my crazy busy life! but still no excuse. Since I left Houston I went home for a week and got to see my grandma (who lives in Scotland) she is so awesome and fun. She came for the summer for my brothers highshcool graduation and for my sisters wedding. Unfortunately, with timing she couldn't go to my wedding. After I was home for a couple days my parents and their best friends took me to the Montreal temple to receive my endownments. It was also really nice to have my sister and her husband Mike there. Just a couple days later, my family and I drove down to Palmyra New York for my sisters wedding. It was really fun, we the kids van with my sister, Mike, my brother,and I, all driving together. We stayed in the Palmyra inn which was really cool because the rooms were huge with living room and kitchen area. So the next day I woke up early with my sister and drove her to get her hair done. I thought that was early and then I realized I was getting married an hour earlier than her!! Her wedding was great! Unfortunately, we were taking pics afterwards and it started to rain. but Ciccika had a cute black and white umbrella to protect from rain but still have cute pics. So when i can back to have my reception in Ottawa I used the umbrella too. So we have similar pics!!
Anyways we went back to the hotel and had a luncheon. Her colors were balck and pink and Ciccika and I were her bridesmaids. We wore black dresses with pink sashes and had pink gerber daisies for bouquets. We then returned home, but other friends had come down for her wedding that we had so many cars. It was just Ciccika, Niall and I driving home in the van. funny story, Ciccika rolled the window down when we were downtown Palmyra and then tried to roll it back up when he were on the highway but the mechanics were stuck. We drove home the whole way which is 4 1/2 hours with the window down, freezing by te end of it.

The next evening was my sisters reception. It was a nice sit down dinner, program and dance. earlier my dad had decorated the gym with a canopy. We had italian buffet with lasagna, canelloni, and manacoti. We also had a juice fountain (very italian), and gelato and biscoti for dessert. My sister and mike entered the room while being piped by a piper. (scotish heritage). the evening was followed with a slideshow, speeches while my dad cryied (lol) and a great dance, with my cousin as the DJ. It was great and one of the only (Mormon) weddings were people actually stayed to the end. And of course my family was left to clean up!! The next day was sunday and grandma was leaving back to scotland. So there ended my week at home and my next blog with be the adventure to Utah and MY Wedding!
