My best friends wedding...

On October 9th my fabulous BFF Erica Tanner got MARRIED! We had a whirlwind wedding weekend!! Taylor flew in from Denver and it was so fun to be able to spend a bunch of time with some of my very bestest friends. We went to temple that afternoon then the family dinner the night before and had a chance to get to meet Ben's (Groom) family and catch up with all of the Tanners. We love their family and could even hang out with them without Erica around hahaha! After the family dinner us girls met up with Taylor at her grandma's and we had ourselves a bachelorette party! The first thing we did was a scavenger hunt at walmart for various items, we asked two teenage boys for marriage advice and this was their response- "have fun & love each other". We then had an inappropriate cupcake decorating contest and even included taylors grandma- so HILARIOUS. Then we opened presents. So fun.


That night I slept over at erica's and during of the middle of the night I reached over and grabbed her and started pulling at her then I realized what I was doing and started apologizing like crazy it was SOO funny. It was the first night I had ever been away from miley and erica was sleeping on the side of me where normally I would have miley if she was in bed with me so when I reached out and felt someone in my sleepy state I thought i pushed miley off the bed HAHAHA!  This is Erica's last shot as a beeeautiful single lady right before she left for the temple.


We were in a total RUSH to get to the temple and couldn't find parking... I thought they weren't going to let us in but we made it and erica looked beautiful and I couldn't help but think about my own wedding day and how it really was the best day of my entire life.

The reception was at the grand america hotel and OH MY GOSH. It was absolutely breathtaking. Seriously SO SO beautiful and the food was divine... especially the Mac'n cheese. The weather was nice and I just don't think the day could have gone ANY better. I am so glad that erica and ben are happily married and that they had the perfect wedding. Go team Petersen.



other funny things- Ben and erica's first dance was to lady gaga "bad romance" and they danced SO funny. Also taylor managed to leave the party without her shoes hahahaha.
