Kara and Todd's pre-wedding dinner was held in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Aside from taking Teya on the 10 minute trek to the bathroom about ninty times during the dinner and program, the night was quite enjoyable. (T is potty trained now, but I still don't have faith in her "holding it" muscles...)
The creepy dude in the back is Mr. Soon-to-Be, Kara's one and only Todd.
Here's another attempt without the man-face in the background... I like me pretty little sisters and me pretty little mamma;) It was a happy accident that we all coordinated so discreetly and fashionably without any planning.
The happy c-izz-upple.
Now, when Vanessa & I are taking a photo together with just the two of us, I'm 99% sure it's impossible to get a shot where both of us are cooperating in the same moment. We gave it at least ten tries this night before we just settled with what we got;)

This one gives me nightmares. Really Scary Nightmares.
We were both trying to take a picture like in the days of the pioneers where you had to hold a pose and smile, and hold it, and hold it, and hold it, and the eyes start to droop, and the smile starts to fade at the corners, and hold it.....
"Please Teya, Just ONE picture so I can document the fact that we both put time into getting ready and we got dressed up all nice... Pleeeeeeease!..."
Cody and Cohen being as cute as possible! That includes you too Cody, you're cute here;)
