travis and mata's wedding

Yesterday was Travis Uale and Mata Pope's WEDDING!!! It was such a fun day! It started with their sealing at the Salt Lake Temple. It was such a peaceful, spiritual ceremony. Afterward, we gathered outside to take pictures with the new couple. It was a cold and blustery day (Yes, I used to watch Winnie the Pooh) - so weird for June, but it was better than the smoldering heat that one would expect. Wayne's sisters and cousins were in the line so we made sure we got a lot of fun pics. I left the temple feeling grateful for eternal families and sooo happy for Mata and Travis.


When they first exited the temple Travis jumped up on Mata's back and she ran around in circles with him. Then she dipped him, then he dipped her and so on. . . oh my goodness, they were so funny! It was fun to see them put their own craziness and silliness into the traditional exiting moment.


A slightly serious one. lol. Such a cute couple.

The resourceful bridesmaids put their bouquets to use against the rainy weather.


The bridesmaids. Don't you love their outfits?


The guys and girls in the line got along sooo well! lol


Kika, Sili, Mata, Nia, Tia and Keni


As Tyra would say, "FIERCE!"


This pic cracks me up! This is Crichton, Travis' brother - he and I used to work together at PCC back in the day. I think him and Sili make SUCH a good couple!!! he he.


Love this pic!

Later that day we gathered for their reception. It was in a chapel in Provo, but you never would have guessed. I have NEVER seen a more beautifully decorated cultural hall. My goodness, it was gorgeous!


This pic doesn't do the place justice, but the ceiling fixtures were incredible. It was so pretty.


There was a program where all the couples cultures were represented. It was fun to watch.
