Kasey took video and it just captured so well everyone doing their role. We secretly called Ryan the “Mains of honor” bc he took on the role in Quincy’s absence, keeping track of the dress, carting her and Logan’s cross body bag around, fanning the bride, distributing waters to grandparents, keeping photo-tired complaining groomsmen in check. “We are here to keep the bride happy, boys. It is not your wedding, it’s hers. Now smile like you mean it.”
Carly also was a hero when it was discovered that the bridesmaids accidentally left the flowers at the hotel 25 minutes away. An honest mistake in the room shuffle (we checked out of 2 of the rooms that morning realizing there would not be time between wedding and reception to stop by in between) As soon as they realized this, she rushed out of there to pick them up. The flowers delay is why the stairs were no longer available for photo spot, but it worked out because the boys were much funnier and more relaxed on the lawn.
Quincy FaceTimed shortly after she got up Sunday morning Korea time, which was right at the end of photos outside the temple. The everyone aside from Me, Aaron, Corbin, Soren, and Ryan had all left, and Reese and Logan were taking their couples photos with Annika. Our connection was terrible, but I walked over to them and the minute I held the phone up and she could see Reese, Quincy burst into the biggest cry of crocodile tears I’ve ever seen, sobbing something unrecognizable, but between her heavy heaving cries, we think she was saying, “My sister you’re so beautiful! You are SO beautiful! You did it!”
We walked over to the VC next to the temple so Jamae could catch her breath and my dynamic duo daughters could have a minute to just be sisters and celebrate. She gave some thrilling words of wisdom to Logan, and we followed them around for photos for a bit (which is another reason I only have like 3 pics of the bride and groom). We passed the phone around and she had a quick visit with the fam and told us a wild story about dodging a creepo stalker with her companion, then shared her testimony and what she learned at zone conference about being a consecrated missionary with us, she said one more goodbye and congrats to the happy couple, wiped her tears, dried her hair, and went to church. She invited our family to pray for her and Arnold Jamine to find anyone who will listen to them. They don’t have any friends to teach in their area, so they do a lot of finding. Quincy is a magnet for people, I g
