Weddings are hard.  I never know what to expect.  The peaceful, beautiful girl that I meet with during a consultation is not always the girl that shows up to the wedding.

The pre-wedding jitters, wondering if the flowers will arrive, hoping that everyone is where they need to be on time….there are a million things that a bride has to think about, and worry about.  And these little things can sometimes get to even the best of us.

But not Emily.

Emily was as cool as a cucumber.  (Does anyone know where that saying comes from???)  Emily had a wonderful time on her big day.

She rolled with the punches when the lights all went out at the hotel where she was getting ready.  And where the bridesmaids were getting ready.  And where two thirds of the guests were staying and were getting ready.  She just laughed.  There was NO POWER.  And Emily laughed.  Luckily, the backup generator came on and some of the rooms had a few plugs that worked.  But Emily did not seem a wee bit worried.

Emily knew something.  Yes, she knew that the most important part of her day wouldn’t be the flowers, or the dress, or the food, or (gasp) even the photographs.  Emily knew that the most important part of her day would take place when she and her sweetheart would be married for time and all eternity.

Good for her.  And good for Brock – who waited at the Logan temple for a whole hour while we scrambled to get there.

Good for both of them.

Because if they continue to have such a positive outlook on life, there will be nothing that they can not conquer.  Together.
