I just want to express how thankful Dayton and I are for everyone who has shown their support and love, this day means everything to us and it couldn't have turned out any better!

We also want to thank everyone who had a hand in making it as wonderful as it was: 

my awesome mom baked all of the cookies and basically planned the majority of the wedding, without her, it definitely wouldn't have turned out the way it did.

My aunt made my cake, which was seriously so delicious and pretty!

We got our flowers from Dana at The Floral Theory in Arizona and i cannot express enough how gorgeous those arrangements were you really had to see them in person!

My dress is from Saldana Vintage, they were amazing to work with, especially since their whole shop is online and i couldn't physically try it on in a store. they worked with me on everything to ensure everything was effect about it, not to mention it was so comfortable! 

Natalie Allen, who did our photography is seriously amazing with a camera and the sweetest person you could ever work with!

i also want to give a special shoutout to Jenna Taylor, an amazing close family friend of ours who recently passed away in a biking accident in Arizona. she spent the entire night before my wedding making over 15 of these table arrangements with my family, they were gorgeous and made our house smell so amazing. words cannot express how sad i was to hear of the news, but i know she is in a great place now and that she will forever leave a legacy with those she came in contact with. 

weddings

i go to weddings for two reasons

1. to eat the food, mainly the cake.

2. to dance.

for some reason the dancer comes alive in me at weddings and i completely let loose. its def a sight to see bc i can't actually dance very well...actually i can't dance at all..

but family weddings are a different story, you have to be in more of the pictures and are obligated to go around and talk to everyone and explain how life and school are going and that yes, you are still single and no won't be getting married any time soon. 

so i wasn't expecting much at my brothers wedding bc i knew i would have to do all this and had no date.. but i never do so what new..

but i can honestly say that this was probably the funnest wedding I've ever been to. there was amazing mexican food (because my family is mexican we can get the good hook ups), amazing cake (you know how much i love cake) and a sweet dance floor. almost everyone got up and danced and it was just a really good time!

my brothers photographer hasn't sent over any of the pictures yet, but my aunt took some and sent them to me, granted i don't seem to know how to properly pose for a picture so i look like a complete goof but what the heck. i could care less.

my favorite one

or maybe this is my favorite...

you're probably already wondering and i will tell you now, i have no idea!

at least my lipstick looks good right?

this is my favorite little stinker Troy
