Prom 2011

Here is what they did:
Day Date: Have picnic in the canyon (Canyon Glen) (they left just as soon as it started to rain) they then went to Provo Beach Resort and did ropes course and played the arcade. Dropped off their dates and planned to pick them up again around 5:30. Kyle drove an escalade and picked up Christian and then his date Caroline and then to Jessica's house (Christian's date). We drove to Jessica's (while they were getting Caroline) to get ready to take pictures.
Dinner: Pizza Factory (they were willing to take reservations for a group of 10...Brick Oven was not)
Dance: Provo Library
While they were at dinner and the dance we had our own little party with the Atkinson's eating paella from an authentic Spaniard complete with shrimp, muscles, and chicken. It was delicious! Then we all went to the promenade and went back home and watched a movie (while the ladies fell asleep)



Love this photot!!! It was so fun. We were driving right next to them and stopped at the same light. Asked them roll down their window for this great photo op and they both did a pose.

I wish we could have gotten the other view of his face seeing her for the first time but that is burned into my memory. It was the sweetest expression. He looked like he had seen an angel!





Her dress was "modest-ified" with the added sleeves. Mom sewed some tuelle sleeves. The sleeves matched the inside skirt. It was a beauuuutiful dress.








Gotta have the shoes!

Escorting them in the car...all of them, there was a lot of dress...


Push all that dress in the car...(hehe)



The whole group from front to back:

Jacob and Alex, Ian and Kim, Alex and Caitlyn, Christian and Jessica, Kyle and Caroline




Christian and Kyle

THE NEXT DAY AT CHURCH (well after church)





Chandler and Christian, long time friends since they were 6. We didn't get to see Chandler at promenade but since they both wore their tuxes to church we were able to snap a couple pictures.


If anyone else gives me pictures from their camera I'll add them to the blog. I really wanted pictures from their day dates but I don't ever get those...One day I'll sneak up...

I've been looking forward to this!!! Fun couple! She looks like Scarlet O'hara coming down the stairs - so dramatic! So beautiful! I love the modest-ification too! I think it makes the dresses more sophisticated when sleeves are added. Thanks for sharing - and what a fun day date as well!

This was awesome to read! What are you feeding your boys? Christian is so tall standing next to Chandler.

AJ's girl (now wife) had her mom modest-ify her dress, too. They do look so much better.
