Mr. & Mrs.

Friday November 13, 2015 my niece Amanda went from Miss to Mrs.  She was married in the Oquirrh  mountain temple to Cody Gally.  Although we weren't able to go into the temple, it was apparent these two were ecstatic about tying the knot.
Later that night we were headed to a reception to congratulate them.
It was a beautiful reception held in the Western Gardens reception center in Sandy, UT.  We enjoyed buffet style food with family.  The lighting inside was terrible for pictures(as you will tell from all my pictures).
We all tried to spend as much time as possible with cousins.  Ashly and Sadi were the first to "ditch" the parents to do their own thing.
Kelsey and Briana exchanged numbers to be able to keep in touch.
Here is the Smith siblings minus 2.  We missed having Mark and Tanya's families there to celebrate. 
Their cake was beautiful, and delicious...or so I heard from my kids who said they had the best piece.
We stayed for the entire night, and enjoyed watching them cut the cake...and shove it in each others face. 
It was entertaining to watch the bouquet being thrown.  Some of these girls REALLY wanted to be the one to catch that bouquet!
Although none of our girls caught the bouquet Sadi did get to smell what victory smells like.
Chase wasn't really sure what was going on here...a little hunting for that garter :)
Then it was time for the first dance as Mr. and Mrs. Gally.  It was a bit magical to watch these two lovebirds.
Then it was the Father/Daughter dance.  I have to admit this made me a bit teary eyed to watch them dancing to "I loved her first".
Then it was time to tear up the dance floor, and I have to admit my kids dance moves surprised me (in a good way). 
Since Matt wasn't there, I had to find myself a new dance partner.  I found little Knox to be the perfect dancer...isn't he the cutest?
After every one's feet were sore from dancing we headed outside to light up some sparklers to pave the way for the newlyweds.
They left in style....
Hopefully to a happily ever after.
