showered with love

we are so lucky to have the best and most supportive friends and family in the world! every shower was incredible and so thoughtful i couldn't even believe it! 

our ward shower was at the Hopkin's home 

it was so fun because there is three generation of taylor's in the ward!

everything was in our wedding colors (navy and blush pink)

my lovely sisters and mother

and my grandmother shirely! isn't she stunning?

as you can tell i love being the center of attention...

Kylie Sue Lewis threw the cutest shower ever!

since we went on study abroad together it was afternoon tea. 

we all wore dresses and how cute is kylie's hat?! 

some of my friends from high school took me to dinner at happy sumo 

i loved sitting at catching up with everyone again!

my mom's tennis and bookclub friends had a shower themed "tying the knot" how cute?!

everything was nautical themed! 

 her self-proclaimed BFF Ann Hoole/the host.... my mom always captures the best moments...

my aunt cinda and uncle doug threw a shower for the my Taylor side of the family 

of course the grill was involved... nothing like uncle doug's grilling

all of the family members put in a card with their favorite memory of either bracken or me then we had to guess who said that about us! 

 ^ uncle doug's grilling 

 my darling mother let us have the shower on her birthday. she is so selfless! and of course we had to sing to her! 

^ did i mention my brothers crashed a vespa the week before our wedding ended up with road rash EVERYWHERE. including his sweet little face.. 

my grandmother quilted this for us with our names and wedding date in it! 

 our last shower was a couple days before our wedding 

my aunt dolene and family had the entire watts side over

i am lucky to have such incredible cousins and family

love my grandma watts

aunt dolene made all these banners with our wedding date and names on them! she also had a game where she had looked up things either bracken or i had said on social media and then everyone had to guess who said it. 

WE LOVE OUR BIG FAMILIES! 3 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE WEDDING! 

the menloves

last time as a bridesmaid! 

NEXT WEEK THE BRIDE!

bridals

we got our bridals done may 13th, 2014. i could NOT wait for Bracken to see my dress. i was nervous and excited all at the same time! i knew he would love it but still never thought he would have the worlds cutest reaction! here are the first look pictures and the rest of the day! i absolutely loved my bouquet too! i wanted more pink but since Mother's Day was two days before the florist were all out of pink! the main thing i wanted for my bouquet was for it to be BIG! i said to my florist (Julie Prince) whatever you are thinking make it double that size... and oh boy she did that! i had hand cramps by the end of the bridals!

I ADORE HIM!!!

     and how pretty are the tulips?! Temple Square couldn't be more perfect. 

The woman who made it all possible.... I have the BEST mom!

Christopher and Caroline

one of the most rainy days in the history of utah... okay i made that up but i swear it is up there. i met caroline on london study abroad and we were instant friends she told me about her missionary that she had sent off about a year ago and how they had liked each other since sophomore year of high school. ultimate high school sweethearts. after chris came home from his mission he and caroline started dating right of the bat and we knew it was game over haha. they had the reception at the riverside country club and every thing was perfection! our flowers were so pretty and the food was top notch!

one of my favorite pictures from their wedding day!

bridesmaid duties included passing out the favors

the dance party got WILD. of course we sang sweet caroline at the top of our lungs

CONGRATS to the happy couple! 

engaged.

engaged to be married to J Bracken Seaberg!

the story goes bracken and i had our first date at sundance ski resort so he tells me we are going to dinner with his parents at sundance about a week in advanced. when he is coming to get me he tells me that his mom had to take his sisters somewhere at the last second and they couldn't come. i had ZERO clue he was going to purpose. at dinner he is saying his stomach is killing him and he can't eat (not like bracken at all). we finish dinner and walk outside it is freezing and bracken is wanting to cross the bridge to get to our car. i tell him it's too cold if he wants to hold my hand then he has to put in my pocket because i'm too cold (so romantic hahaha) he starts telling how much he loves me and i honestly cant remember anything after that he drops to a knee and i freak out! of course i said yes. and he had gotten my friends to come take pictures of it! can't wait for may 22!

remember how i said i freaked out??
