one time emily and ryan got married and people put lots of baloons in their apartment to celebrate...

it went like this...

while making the long drive home from proves, my mom and i had some good conversations. here's one:

me: look at those rocks! makes me wanna go rock climbing.

georgia: it makes me wanna climb on a rock and take off my clothes.

there is no question that i am my mother's daughter.

pre-wedding family dinner

we love B.O a lot.
and we really love the apple beer. mike was pretty tipsy by the end of the night.

aunt terri wrapped em and ry's gift with this lovely bow. i decided to use it as a prop. got tupac?

brynn decided to rep the hippie look.

brynn and i love ryan's dad {kenneth, jk, judge, etc}and his cousin Jen.

it was such a fun dinner! brynn even made me laugh hysterically by singing the song we made up in elementary school. i was rolling. it's redic how catchy that tune is. maybe we'll record it and post it on here...if you're lucky.

i do.

emily dalby is now emily dalby mangum! the wedding was beautiful {the mt. timpenogos temple is awesome} and the reception was bomb. we dalby's loooove a good party. i'm so amped that ryan is now apart of our fam. oh, and i'm super amped that kenneth is apart of our family too! holllaaa.
