My brother Shiloh got married August 14, 2010 in the Bountiful temple to Megan Pugh. They met up at school, just like Brian and I did...and 80% of everyone else at BYU-IDo. I had the bright idea to make the wedding cake, and I've decided that next time I wouldn't have such a big idea.
I spent one day baking the cakes...which took nine cake mixes. You should have seen our freezer when I tried to squeeze all of them in there! The day before Shiloh and Megan got married Brian and I spent the day at Brian's mom's house and I decorated it. In all, it took nine cake mixes, 14 cans of frosting, and about 15-20 hours. I was just crossing my fingers that I would be able to transport it from Draper to Bountiful without a crisis.
Brian and I got to the Bountiful temple after dropping the cakes off at a church nearby...so far so good. Everything about the temple and sealing was beautiful! I have never learned so much in one sitting before, and it really gave me an eternal perspective. I was so happy for Shiloh and Megan!
After the wedding ceremony I went to set the cake up hoping it would turn out like I had planned in my mind. I hadn't practiced putting it all together before, so I was excited but nervous at the same time. Luckily, it all came together!
Our little family is growing!
I was so sad I didn't get to go! I thought about flying up on Friday night for the reception and flying back on Saturday, but it turned out that I had to work instead. I really want to see you guys again, it's been way too long.
