Monte's wedding

One of Ethan's best friends, Monte Evans, got married and Ethan was a groomsman. It was hilarious leading up to the wedding. The boys were all given the color of pants they were supposed to get but none of them were really worried about it. The moms all ended up stressing and buying their pants to make sure they were what Maci (the bride) wanted. It was hilarious and very typical of this group of boys. They are so chill.

The day before the wedding they had a day-long bachelor party. They went to a location that rents rooms where you can play video games. So they played hours of video games, went to lunch, and then went to Top Golf to play games. They had a great time being together. They have a close group of friends who have been together since elementary and have grown up together. They ended up at Monte's house playing games and chatting. Ethan ended up going online and paying to become an ordained minister (just in case the Bishop didn't show up the next day, haha). 

On the wedding day, they all got ready and went to Washington to the venue where they were briefed on how to walk down the aisle with the bridesmaids. They were told to walk not too fast and not too slow. They were trying to figure out how to walk funny to make it hilarious but they did have their limits and didn't want to mess anything up.

Here is Ethan with Duncan and Jackie who were married in March.

These are the boys they grew up with: Monte, Jaxson, Corbin, Duncan, Brennon, and Ethan.

Ethan took this picture to show us how handsome he was all ready for the wedding.

There were hours between the wedding and the reception. Monte asked his mom if they had to stay and she said they didn't so they all loaded into cars (I thought it was interesting that Monte was with the boys and Jackie was in another car, haha) and went to Duncan and Jackie's house to hang out. They played games and waited until it was time to go back for the reception.

Duncan didn't like the reception because people kept telling him congratulations and it annoyed him. The couple didn't want a line but people wanted to congratulate them and ended up forming a line anyway. So we went through the line, ate some treats, and then left. Ethan stayed and helped to decorate the car and send them off. Maci and Monte have been dating for about 3 years so she is used to the boys, which is probably good because they will be around a lot.

Here is the happy couple with this beautiful picture taken by Jaquel Reber who grew up on our ward and was their wedding photographer.
