Whirlwind Pictures

Since I had very limited access to a computer this past week, and now that I have safely arrived home, I thought I would share a few pictures of the whirlwind I mentioned in my last post.

Here are a few of the dresses that Britta really liked, but eventually ruled out before saying YES to the dress.

 (Britt didn't like the half-sleeve on this dress, and would have had them capped had she selected this dress... I {loved} the longer sleeve.  I pretty much tried to keep my mouth shut throughout the process, though, other than sharing honest opinions and encouraging words.)

Britta didn't have any particular style she was looking for, which made decision making a little more complicated -- she wasn't comparing apples to apples, she had to choose between apples and oranges.  Sort of.  In a wedding dress kind of way.

Taylor and Grandma Goldsberry came along on the second day of wedding dress shopping.  It was awesome to have their support, and even Britt mentioned that she was really glad Tay was there, since she valued his opinion from a guy's viewpoint.

You will just have to wait, along with Austin, to see the dress she said YES to.

Game night at Grandma and Grandpa Goldsberrry's.

 Taylor and Lynnea were demonstrating poses from earlier in the day, when the photographer would tell them to do somewhat unnatural things, like put their foreheads together, then "act natural... do what you would normally do..."  They were in the Salt Lake Library.  We all had a chuckle over that one.  

Or maybe just I did.

 I heard this was the {eternal} 6-person Aggravation game.  I wouldn't know, since I hit the hay around midnight (I can't remember if that was pre- or post- daylight savings time).

The next morning, Lynnea was heading back to Idaho, so we snapped a picture of the happy couples.  

K-I-S-S-I-N-G.  

Everyone had pretty much just gotten out of bed.

 (The serious parting-is-such-sweet-sorrow pose.)

 We snapped a few pictures at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building after church on Sunday.
Josh and Kayla plan to have their wedding dinner in this very room.

I didn't get any pictures of the half-dozen Dollar Trees we visited with Grandma Syddall, or the Astro Burger stop we made to fill our empty tummies (which, btw, was delicious).  Rats.  I'm sure that would have been an interesting photo diary.

Britt and I did snap a quick picture the morning I left... 

...just so I could remember that I was there, too :-)
