My sister got married!


My little sister is now married! We only had a few days to spend with my family so we made the most of it.
The family bachelorette party happened Thursday night. I presented my sister with a "Soon to Be Mrs. Huddleston" hoodie that she wore the entire weekend. (Thanks to Jenn for the idea. She made one for me when I got married)
We visited a Country & Western bar in Scottsdale with a great live band. The evening ended with my sister dancing a jig in her stiletto boots to "Devil Went Down to Georgia" while one of the band members smacked her butt with the bow from his fiddle. Oh, and she stole his cowboy hat and used it as a prop in her dance. It was hilarious!
Saturday went by in a whirlwind. We made breakfast and had mimosas out for all the ladies who wanted to come to the house and get their hair or make-up done. My sister looked like a perfect, little Barbie doll! Absolutely gorgeous.
The weather was perfect for their outdoor ceremony. My uncle officiated the ceremony, which made the wedding that much more personal. He did an excellent job and made tears well up in all our eyes.
The reception was fantastic. It was filled with delicious food, friends and family I haven't seen in years, and my beautiful sister and her new husband. Besides two people stepping on my sister's dress and tearing a few buttons from the bustle, the night was a big success! We ate, drank, danced and had a great time.
Unfortunately, I didn't take a single picture. I was busy living up to my "matron of honor" title and helping my sister with everything I could.
I have one picture someone took and sent to me. I'll post more once I get them from a friend who took numerous shots all weekend.
