Saira, I KNEW SHE WAS PREGNANT!!! I asked her and she LIIIIIIIED!!! LOL Oh  I asked her to be my photographer during the practice cuz ya know I was in it!!!! 
sAIRA MY PHOTOGRAPHER!!!
She was tired and Happy!!! Louie and Saira announced it two days later at their church!!! You guys, Saira is the one that LISTENED to my advice and didn't wear all black to camp and whatda ya know, BAM she's married!!! Hasn't worked for ME, buuuuuuuuuut still, 
.
I think all rehearsals should be like in the Philippine's- NO REHEARSAL!!!

Sooooooooo we had to do this really weird stop and pause every other foot thing and I just could NOT do it!!! Sooooo Morning of I told Louie, lets just walk slow and they won't be able to stop us the day of! WHICH IS WHYYY i repeat we don't need practice cuz you can just do what everrrr the day of!!! LOL 

See i'm trying to be coordinated but i'm just all awkwardly CLUMSY!!!!

REHEARSAL DINNER!!!





Devon was NOT HOLDING BACK AT ALL!!!




.
WALMART RUN!!!
When it's supposed to be a 5 minute run buuuuuuuut you go the wrong way and the next thing you know your heading back to Phoenix---OOOOOOPS!!! I told JENNY TO DRIVE BUUUUT NOOOOO!!!! There was cops everywhere, Jenny was laughing and screaming, this is so fuuunnn, it's like I'm single, buuuut,  I don't have my license! What if border patrol comes??? I'm gonna miss my kids!!! I was liiiiike, don't worry, Ill talk our way out of this, i'm white enough for BOTH OF US!!! That was a BLAST, buuuuuuuuut Jenny, NEXT TIME YOUR DRIVING!!! 

Starbucks was a 30 minute drive-WHICH MEANS DEMING IS UNHABITABLE!!!
This was where we ended up driving to the night before because there were no exits to turn around till this gas station!!!
.

Why are toddlers extra adorable in those zip up pajamas????
.
WEDDING DAY!!!
A LOT OF WAITING FOR THE BRIDE!!! Hee, Hee!!!


Pictures while we waited for the bride!!
I was liiiiiiike, can you guys PLEASE POSE NORMAL for a picture???
Then I'm thinking WHY AM I ASKING THAT??? It's Devon and Ryan!!!
.

I DID manage to get this picture which is PRETTY NORMAL for these two!!! #TheSmithBrothers #NerdBros (Ryan is married to Jenny and Devon obviously is married to Priscilla!)
.
I think my bridesmaid dress turned out pretty good!!! That took  A LOT OF working out at the gym on the eliptical buuuuuuuut it did get me there!!!

Still waiting...
Wedding started at 1:30, bridal party got there at one 
annnnnnnnnnnnnnd THE BRIDE GOT THERE AT 2!!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!
.
All my pics are from other people....


He sang to her and started crying!!! It was soooooooo sweet, I ALMOST got choked up!!!


At the end he played this song that he recorded singing to her called Holy Ghost Girl!!! It was really cute and super funny!!! 





BEAUTIFUL!!!


Priscilla had said beforehand, a few people were surprised I was a bridesmaid because we just met a little over a year ago and she was like, well I met her the same night I met Devon and that was long enough to MARRY HIM!!! I'm liiiiiiiiiiike, NOOOOOOOOO you guys met at camp dinner and I didn't meet you till FOUR HOURS LATER AFTER CHURCH!!!! Devon knew you four whole hours LONGER THAN ME!!! AHAHAHAAAAA!! Four hours changes EVERYTHING!!!! 


EWWWWWWW PDA!!! 
.



CUUUUUUUUUTEST GIRL EVERRRRR!!!
Her mom's mini PLUS Asian eyes!!! Possibly Lucas' future wife!
.



The highlight at the reception was the CHOPSTICKS!!! The kids looooooooved those!!!

I loooooooove the cake on the wood!!! It's soooooooo pretty!!!


Soooooooo I know I have this HUGE reputation of matchmaking buuuuuuuuut THE TRUTH is that I have ONLY GOTTEN TOGETHER two couples and DEVON AND PRISCILLA IS NOT ONE OF THEM!!! That credit FULLY GOES ALL TO JENNY SMITH!!! Devon's amaaaaaaaaZing sister in law who was ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR HIM and praying and EVEN FASTING FOR HIM!!!! She introduced them at camp dinner, four hours before I met Priscilla!!! 
.
I DID stay out with them till curfew and it was soooooooooo cold out I went home sooooooooo sick for like a MONTH STRAIGHT...soooooooo I did HELP!!!!
.
BUUUUUUUUUT i'm passing the matchmaking baton on to Jenny!!!! If she could find a wife for DEVON that's like equal to getting TEN COUPLES together which definitely out ranks my TWO!!!

.
IF there's hope for DEVON....
THERE'S HOPE FOR ME!!!!
GET FASTING BESTIE!!! ;)

This is the song he recorded and it played after THE KISS....It sooooo cuuuuue and FUNNY!!! 
.
JEAN SKIRT GIRL

I met a girl just the other day

She was so dif - fer - ent

In each and every way.

The way she walked

The way she looked at me

The way she talked

♪♫

Then I skinned my knee

When I fell for her

God's glory was shining

Thru that Holy Ghost girl

   that Holy Ghost girl

♪♪♫

With the Jean skirt

With the Jean skirt

With the Jean skirt on

I thank God for the girl

With the Jean skirt

With the Jean skirt on...


.

SOME OF THE PROFESSIONAL PICTURES!!!

I have to be honest, I COVERED MY FACE WITH MY BOUQUET for the actual kiss... .It was just too long and PDA-EWWWWWWWWW!!!!! And it just PDA just embarrasses me soooooooo much!!!! 

I loooooove this picture, EVEN IF THEY ARE KISSING!!!
EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! LOL 

Soooo sweet!!!! buuuuut PDA EWWWWWWWWWW!!!! 

Soooooooo happy for you two!!!! Devon, when Priscilla first stayed with me, after AMA, she said YOU WERE THE FIRST GUY SHE HAD ANY INTEREST IN since she got back in church!!! After AMA, Ryan, Jenny and I had a bet going on for how long before you two were married, I said two years from AMA 2023, Jenny said a year and a half from AMA 2023, and Ryan said a year from AMA 2023!!! I think we all LOST because it was a year and three months buuuuuut Jenny was the closest!!! You did KINDA TAKE FOREVERRRR to make a move though,I admit that I DID SWITCH sides in the 6 month process it took you to ACTUALLY MAKE A MOVE, buuuuuut maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan LANDMARK CONFERENCE WAS LIKE AND A COMEDY ADVENTURE WATCHING YOU FINALLY GO!!!! I think I got whip lash that last night trying to take everything in!!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! 
.
It's weird that I ended up being such good friends with both the wives of THE SMITH BOYS!!!! I still remember when those two bros showed up to Conqueror's Conference!!! I told Jenny, it's like I'm weird ENOUGH to be friends with you guys, BUUUUUUUUUUUT NOT WEIRD ENOUGH TO BE ONE OF YOU GUYS!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! (Only besties can say stuff like that, cuz we're ALMOST FAMILY!!! ;)
.
And between the two homes, I always know I've got friends in Carlsbad to play board games with!!! I have like 4 really cool board games I'm dying to play and LITERALLY NO ONE TO PLAY WITH!!! Sooooooo either you guys come here or I go there, buuuuuuuut play with me my nerd friends!!!! 
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
.
The ONE AMAZZZZZZZZZING THING ABOUT DEMING WAS THIS DONUT SHOP!!!
Better than Bosa or Rainbow Donuts, i was like WOWWWWWWW!!!!
DONUTS AND BOBA
P.S. Let me know when i'm gonna be an auntie AGAIN... I'm ready to spoil BABY NERD!!! ;)
