ok, to start with, we traveled down to ogden tuesday, and stayed with sister #2 for the night.
wednesday, we drove down to provo. i went shopping with sister #3 and mom to grab things for the wedding. sister #3 finally got keys/code to apartment, so we had somewhere to sleep. however, no heat.... and no hot water..... and no beds....
oh, late in the afternoon, we learned that the brunch location was going to be used for a funeral. gratefully, the ward clerk, or whoever he was, found us another location.
thursday, is kinda when the insanity started, or the beginning of the end, i suppose. i baked cakes all day long. we were doing 2 half-sheet cakes for the reception, and needed a cutting cake. in trying to ease some of the stress from mom, i took on that job.
4 half sheets, 2-9 inch squares, and 2-4 inch squares. 1.5 lbs butter, 28 eggs. and all day long!!
we also decided to dip plastic spoons in melted chocolate for use at the hot chocolate bar.
friday, was absolutely packed! the brunch started at 10:30. sister #3, the bride, was 20 minutes late! after the brunch, we put her in her dress, or tried to. the zipper split on us! talk about murphy's law! mom did a quick fix on the way to the temple for pics, and we quickly dressed her in the bathroom at the visitors center. pictures started at 1-ish. sealing was at 4, and she was married! afterwards, we went to chuck-a-rama, cause no one had eaten since the brunch. WHEW!
saturday, we decorated the cakes. 10 lbs fresh raspberries, 10 lbs fresh blackberries, 7 lbs cream cheese, 1/2 gal whipping cream. thankfully, it only took us about 2.5 hours...not 8 or more. the reception was at 2, and we had the happy couple off by 4:30p. the rest of the family did our christmas gift exchange around 5:30.
and then everyone crashed for the rest of the weekend....(if only)
