Nate & Kennedy's Wedding Day

 The day was finally here!! Nate and Kennady were getting married. She wanted to get married in Salt Lake but the temple is closed for renovations so decided on Payson. With the drive we decided to all stay in the same hotel nearby. It was fun to be able to get up and do breakfast all together before getting ready for the wedding.

After laying everyone's clothes out we realized Emy had forgotten her shoes. So we left a few minutes early so we could stop and grab some. We lucked out and found some she liked pretty quickly. Matt said I've never been in and out of Ross so quickly.

Matt, Maddi, and I stayed with the kids in the waiting area. It worked out well. The kids watched a few videos and at that point they came to get us to wait for the couple to come out for pictures. 

It was warmer than any of us anticipated and although the wait felt longer than it actually was we survived.

When we first found out about the engagement Kim, Nic and I decided we wanted the girls to wear matching outfits and they turned out so cute. It was fun to see them run around all day in their matching dresses.

I love the time I get to spend with my sisters

They had a few fans that they passed out but they did very little for the record heat that day

The Norr family has grown by one more after 14 years of being the same adults and adding kiddos along the way! So excited for both Nate and Kennady

All 11 grandkids

Nate and Kennady decided not to have a luncheon so we had to make plans for lunch so we wouldn't have hangry people in this family. There was a near by Cafe Rio so we basically took up the entire dining room. After we had lunch we had time to kill before we needed to be at the reception site so we did a couple shopping stops and grabbed gas then headed to the center.

They had a buffet dinner then had speeches and dancing after. Poor Nate felt terrible after spending so much time in the sun. I ran to a local gas station and bought some body armor so he could drink it but he felt yucky and I felt terrible because he couldn't enjoy the reception and evening.

The flowers at the reception center were breath taking. I had a heads up that it might be that way since Kenn said she was going to spend the majority of her wedding budget on them. There were so many of them. We sat on the tables further back we were told that the brides family got to take all the closer tables. We were fine with that and had our own party in the back.

Then they had some odd flash mob dancing that transitioned into everyone being invited. 

Because Kenn's dad has left the church she wanted to do a ring ceremony. It was short and sweet and then we retreated back to the air conditioned building. The kids loved the set up and used the umbrellas. The photographer was nice to appease them by taking all their pictures.

Then they had the reception. Pretty much the same people came to that as came to the dinner/ring ceremony but for the reception they had skookies and ice cream as well as a drink set up.

I think the kids would say their favorite part was the send off. They had sparklers and bubble guns and they all had a hard time sharing because it was so much fun.
