Sara Langlois is more like a sister to both Abbie and I than a friend. We love her so much! When we lived in San Jose, she was one of my Young Women that I taught at church. She and her family would come over often to just hang out....I have to admit, it was really hard moving away from them when we came here to Arizona. It's been really fun to keep in contact and do things together still even though we live miles apart. Sara and Steve decided to get married and asked Abbie to be her Flower Girl. Abbie was SOOO excited to do that!
Abbie was really nervous to fly in an airplane. She had flown a while ago, but must have forgotten....so she kind of worked herself up. She was afraid the airplane would tickle her tummy like a rollercoaster....and worried about it so much, that she ended up throwing up TWICE in the little white bags that are in the pocket behind the seat! I couldn't believe it!
Sara picked out Abbie's dress to match hers. How fun that they look so alike and are dressed alike too! I thought it was really sweet of Sara to go out of her way to make Abbie feel so special!
Abbie was constantly watching Sara. It was so cute. What a great role model for her to have! I love everything about Sara. She is so confident, smart, creative, and many many more things.....I would love Abbie to be like Sara when she grows up!
Here are all of Sara's Bridesmaids. Such a fun group of girls! Abbie loved them all. It was cute, Abbie fit right in and acted like they were her friends too!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this picture! SO sweet! Sara has no sisters, and Abbie doesn't either. So, why not adopt each other, right? I'm sure Sara will be apart of our lives forever!
Eating up all the love and attention for sure!
Steve and Abbie had a pretty instant connection too! They first met last summer when we were invited to go to a beach house with the whole Langlois family.... He is such a great guy! She actually looks like she belongs to Sara and Steve instead of us!
Here we are standing in front of the Oakland, California LDS Temple. Gorgeous, isn't it?
Ginger and I didn't plan it, but we ended up wearing almost the same thing. So we decided we would be our own kind of bridesmaid and have a picture taken together! I love Ginger. She is more of a sister than a sister-in-law. I love all of them actually. I feel really fortunate to be in such a great family!
Here we are at the luncheon in between the wedding and the reception. IT was YUMMY Mexican food! One of Steve's friends made a nice video with music of pictures from when Sara and Steve were both children up until when they met, their dating, engagement and all that fun sappy stuff.
Like I mentioned before, Sara is VERY creative. She thought up things that just made the day that much more perfect! Since Sara and Steve Fisher have the same initial, they made up T-Shirts for the whole wedding party that said "I Love SF 5-1-10"..... Some think it's "I love San Francisco", my brother Rodd says it means "I love Stinky Feet" but for that day, it meant I love Sara and Steve Fisher!
What a great looking group! I love the colors Sara picked! I love this candid shot of them all laughing....sometimes those kinds of pictures are my favorite.
When we were driving trying to find the reception, I kind of got lost. I was worried about getting there to fix Sara's hair before they had more pictures. Abbie said I was ruining her flower girl day by not getting her there fast enough! She was really taking this job seriously, wasn't she? I guess I should have been thinking about the flower girl instead of the bride? NOT!!!
This is Abbie's favorite guy ever! She has been connected to Jake for as long as I can remember! Since we have moved away, she's a little shy (I know, hard to believe) when we first get to San Jose. But for some reason, when she sees Jake, she runs to him and jumps up in his arms and acts like they haven't ever been apart! Their little relationship is so cute! She adores him...and I think the feeling is mutual the other way too! Look at these pictures! They are just precious! It's funny to see them standing next to each other cuz Jake is 6'8" and Abbie isn't even 4 feet....
They just seemed to be connected alot through the night! She had the time of her life!
The reception was just gorgeous! I wish my camera would do justice to the way it looked! Sara and her mom Sheri put the whole thing together! They are quite the wedding planners! They are so talented at decorating and flowers, and, and, and, and, and.........
Abbie's job was to hand out little goldfish crackers to people to thank them for coming....."FISHER"....get it? :)
I think this is the most fun I have ever had at a reception. The dance was SOOOO great! Sara and her friends made up a few different dances and performed them in front of all of us. Greg (bro in law) was the best DJ ever! There was a dance and so many people were out there just having a good ole time. Abbie really got into it! She was dancing with everybody and lots of times was going down into the splits! I don't know where she got that move from. I've never seen her do that during a dance, but she had the time of her life!
That was such a great day! I am so proud of Sara for being worthy to be married in the temple to such a great man that honors his Priesthood. Here's to many years of Happiness Sara and Steve Fisher! We love you!!!!
