The One Where Tyrel & Vandy Got Married

My cousin Tyrel on my mom's side was married to his sweetheart, Vandy, on July 8 in the Idaho Falls Temple. It was a wonderful ceremony. They were engaged in October and have had to wait to get married, due to medical reasons. But now they're married!

Vandy's brother got a flat tire on the way from Rexburg and was late. After we waited for a while, he ended up missing the ceremony. We all felt pretty badly. But he was able to come to everything else so that was good.

The following are pictures from all the events involving Tyrel and Vandy's wedding. We just love these guys!

MONDAY: Vandy's Bridal Shower, Coya's Baby Shower (Tyrel's Sister)

We had a combined shower for Vandy and Coya at Grandma's house the Monday before the wedding.

Brandon & Kristen gave the baby (Madylena) some Dora the Explorer shoes. So cute!

Coya opening the Willowtree we gave her

And the outfits we gave her. I love little clothes!

This is what Vandy and Tyrel gave her. Cute idea! They also included movie tickets and a gift card to a restaurant.

Vandy's turn!

Coya and Kristen gaver her this super cute nightgown that she was pretty embarassed to take out of the bag ha ha.

We gave her this little set of drawers to put pictures in from all the wedding fun. Good idea, Mom!
