The march of the yellow converse

Our friends Megan and Justin got married in the Orlando LDS Temple on April 18th. Kevin and I were almost not able to attend because we left our temple recommends in California, but after a few phone calls back home they got in touch with someone that could vouch for us and we were able to watch the ceremony. Whew! Megan told all of us bridesmaids just to find a black dress that we liked and she would provide the footwear. Her colors were green and yellow so what did she get us? YELLOW CONVERSE! She even wore some underneath her wedding gown. I didn't bring any other shoes with me (ya know, trying to carry everything on the plane) so those were the shoes I had to wear inside the temple. It was so funny how many compliments I got. It wasn't until they saw me with the other bridesmaids that people realized that it wasn't just my personal style, but the brides. When I told my mother about the yellow converse.....she didn't quite get it. I think it is a generational thing. Anyways, I thought I would share some of the pictures we took outside the temple.later that evening they had a special ring ceremony for those who could not attend the temple ceremony. The reception was immediately following and for dinner they had a burrito bar. It was a lot of fun and Kevin and I sure enjoyed making fools of ourselves on the dance floor. I have another wedding to go to in a week, but this time I have to go solo (Kevin has work obligations). It will still be fun to catch up with old friends. :)

The Yellow Converse Tennis Shoes is Hilarious. It makes for great photos and you'll always remember this time as a bridesmaid. I remember a girl named Laurie Coleman and she wore red shoes under white wedding dress and the comments people made about that....
