It was great to see all of Andrew's siblings and Ellie's cousins again. We had a packed house and were ready to celebrate Seth and Hollie. They were married in Salt Lake and had their reception in Provo. The ceremony was wonderful and such a fun thing for Andrew and I. Seth didn't tell us that he had asked Andrew's Mission President to seal them. So when the sealer walked in the room and started shaking hands, Andrew turned to me and said that it looked like President Thompson from the back. Then the sealer turned around towards Andrew and we both just started crying. Andrew is SUPER close to his mission president and I have felt so much love from him since being married to Andrew. It was a sweet thing for us. The rest of Andrew's siblings knew so they all smiled and laughed when we finally realized what was going on. In the end, I LOVE going to sealings and hearing the promises and covenants that we make there with our spouses. It is such a wonderful reminder and I'm so lucky I get to have Andrew to be apart of it all with me.
We were the designated Face Timers to make sure Andrew's dad and brother Steven felt apart of the wedding. I didn't really see Andrew for most of the day because of it. He was busy passing our phones around to different family members and showing them everything that was going on. It was really sweet to get to help them feel like they were in Utah for the day. A Bangerter tradition at wedding lunches is to sing a song that they have written for the couple. This year was no different and it was a lot of fun to perform for Seth and Hollie. There is a video on Facebook if you want to see it. It is quite the production!
Driving back from the wedding to Provo it took us two hours because of traffic. (You could call this the trip of many delays) Then to top it all off Ellie had a blow out in her pretty dress before we were suppose to head to the reception. We eventually got there and had a fun evening with lots of family. My mom even drove down to surprise me!
It was such a special day celebrating Seth and Hollie. We think Hollie is perfect for Seth. We like to think we have a special connection to them since Hollie's maiden name is King but we're not related. So Andrew and Seth both married King girls! We're going to confuse a lot of people in the future for family history! Long live #kingtobangertergirls!!

This was Ellie's face on the plane flying out to Utah. She was so tired and not happy!
She is fascinated by her Grandpa Garlick
The cute four babies! We would put them all in one room and just watch them play!
