White Wedding Day

I don't know if I've written about it here before, but Brian's dad (Doug) has been dating (communicating and visiting) a woman from the Philippines. She finally arrived to the States last week and they got married today.

Brian and I went to the Salt Lake Temple waiting room to meet his Dad and soon to be wife. When Doug approached us, without thinking I whispered to Brian, "Who is that little girl he's with?"

"Um, that's my new step-mom."

This woman was about 4 feet tall and it looked weird with her standing next to Doug (who is about 6 foot 3). They said a quick hello and then went into the temple to get married.

Brian and I waited on the grass with Brian's sister Alisha along with Russell and Jennie. After I laid in the grass with my head on Brian's leg, my eyes started itching.

Turns out that I have an allergy to grass and that I shouldn't have scratched my eyes. They immediately puffed up and made me look Japanese. My eyes filled with tears and they streamed down my face as we went to find Doug and his new wife. It must have looked like I was really emotional and I laughed at the situation.

As we were walking on Temple Square, I saw James Drysdale, an old friend from Texas. He and I grew up together and were rather close at one time. I apologized for looking like crap and introduced Brian to him. I don't think he was weirded out by Brian--he was more weirded out by the way I looked. It was quite embarrassing.
