Isaac and Anna were married Nov 26th, 2022! I can’t believe it’s already been 3 years! Anna and her momma worked so hard to throw the most amazing wedding all planned within a very short time. The wedding was in Gilbert Az (where Anna is from) and the weather was so beautiful! I could totally live in AZ in the winter!
We arrived a couple days early which put us there in time for thanksgiving dinner. We stayed with all the kids at the Hilton resort in Scottsdale. Adam and Dawson flew in from Utah, Olivia from Hawaii, Matt and I from Bend and Isaac had driven down from Utah a week or two prior.
We met up with some Blackburns and Dawsons for Thanksgiving dinner at Bucca de beppo and then went to Anna’s house for pie and games with her amazing family. It was so much fun with lots of laughter. It was great to get to know them in a casual setting before the wedding. We also loved watching videos from when Anna was a kid. She was a performer! :)
We love our Anna girl. She is so fun and brings so much joy and light to any room she is in. It was awesome to get to know her family and see where that sunshine comes from.
The wedding day was perfect. They were married in the Gilbert temple. Thankfully I had had my meltdown on a run the day prior. Heartbroken that Matt and I wouldn’t be in the temple to support them as we had planned for Isaac’s entire life, because the shift in our religious beliefs but also tears of joy for the exciting time of Isaac and Anna getting married. I had cried and cried on my run and let out so many emotions (people driving by were probably concerned, haha) processing it all the day prior (which wasn’t planned or intentional) thankfully allowed for me to enjoy the beautiful wedding day and be present in the moment.
The reception was in Gilbert at a beautiful venue. We had a taco lunch prior and then so much fun and dancing. Matt performed a ring ceremony prior to the reception and did a fabulous job. It was fun to meet Anna’s friends and family and be there to celebrate with some of ours. Chad and Kristi, Todd and Jen, my folks, Klint and Kim and Scott and Melissa and families all made it out. It was also pretty special that some of Isaac’s best friends from high school, college and his mission all made it.
And did I mentioned we danced? So fun!!
And have I mentioned how much I love these two? They are so great together. We are so grateful to have Anna in our family we would not be complete without her ❤️
