Over Thanksgiving weekend we headed down to warm Arizona to celebrate the wedding of these two.
Jayson and Neha got married on Nov 26, 2011. It was beautiful
Oh how I love the Messenger boys. Aren't they so cute. Every time we get together with Jayson I am baffled by the similarities between him and Justin. They not only look alike, sound alike, but have a lot of the same little mannerisms.
I went a bit early with Justin so I followed the photographer around with the boys. Such handsome men.
Here are ready to start with the parents coming in. This is Hugo ( Cecilia's brother) and Cecilia.
Jayson anxiously awaiting his Bride.
Jyana and Jayson's friend Cory. They were walking into the sun so pardon their closed eyes but they are still cute.
The Best Man and the Maid of Honor. Justin and Neha's sister Reya.
The cute little flower girls On the left is Justin's cousin Isabella and on the right is Neha's cousin Sana.
Here comes the Bride! Neha looked so beautiful. Her dress was amazing with this beaded long train. Check out her bouquet! Isn't it amazing!
The Ceremony. It was really nice, the pastor that was performing the ceremony had some really good things to say about marriage. He kept referring to it as a covenant between each other and God. It reminded me of our sealing.
The Kiss! Now they are official let the Party begin!
The wedding party. This is me once again tagging along behind the photographer. hehe. I love the color combination of purple, yellow and gray. It looked really classy. The gray tux'es were way nice. I am thinking that Justin needs a gray suit now.
All the original Michilena's. From left to right. Hugo, Maria, Grandpa, Grandma, Cecilia and Micheal.
Almost all of the Michilena cousins. I think that we were missing only a few of them. Aren't they all so gorgeous.
Just us.
Michilena's with spouses. Lourdes in the black and Ali in the silver. They are such a fun family and I love when we get to spend time together.
About this time my camera was dying. =( But I got a sweet shot of their first dance. They danced to How Sweet it is by James Taylor. It was really cute. Along with the other wedding festivities Justin gave an amazing best man speech. It made me a little teary, and it was very heartfelt and thoughtful. I sure do love him. Then there was some crazy dancing.
Last but not least my henna tattoo that I got in celebration of the Indian side of the wedding. Neha's parents are from India so there was some fun traditional Indian activities and Indian food. Which I am getting used to, some of the dishes are really good and others are just a bit too spicy for me.
We are so glad that Jayson and Neha are married. It has taken them a long time to make it happen. We wish them all the best and all the blessings and happiness that comes with marriage.
