The main reason the Fernstens came to Utah over Labor Day weekend was see us. The second reason was to celebrate Rachel’s old friend Allison Funk getting married! The reception took place over an hour away from where we live, but it was a lot of fun to be there in that beautiful backyard setting.
Here is a photo of Chase, and Allison’s nephew, Bryson. He’s the son of Allison’s older sister, Jamie. Jamie was my best friend growing up, and without her, my teenage years would have been a lot more boring! She is such a beautiful, vivacious, entertaining person.
I love the photo below because the two boys were just sitting there, enthralled as they watched the newlywed couple have their first dance together. So precious!
I was so glad the groom’s parents had this ground-level trampoline in their yard for the kids to enjoy! I loved it that Chase had such a blast running around with all those little Funk cousins. He doesn’t have any cousins of his own, but he’s always glad to adopt any that he comes across!
Becky also came with three of her four kids, and I was glad they came to join in the festivities. It’s always so much fun to be with my friends that I can laugh with and with whom I also used to laugh when I was 13. Becky is not only one of my favorite people ever, she’s also gorgeous, and she is raising four healthy kids!
The girls and I also met up once at Becky’s place a couple days before the wedding, because we love every excuse to spend time chatting and laughing together. (Photo courtesy of Becky’s talented 4-year-old daughter).
