The Best Service Project!











This last weekend a cute little couple from our branch (San Luis) was married. I wanted to help so I volunteered to help decorate. What I didn't realize is that with their culture they like lots of colors and want to use everything available to them. Once I talked them into toning it down a little it turned out great! I also conned my poor dear sweet mother into helping me make their wedding cake. She has retired forever from making wedding cakes but I had already said we would do it, so after I promised that I would never ever make her make a wedding cake again she did! I think it is one of the prettiest she has ever made (maybe because this is the first cake I was able to really help on). I helped with the fondant and flowers, she did the hand decorating. The sweet little bride (Lorena) also borrowed my wedding dress. After a few alterations (as you can tell from the pics she is tiny) she looked like a princess. What a great weekend. (On Saturday they were married, and on Sunday they were baptized.)

The dress turned out beautiful! No one would have ever guessed that it was altered because it looks so good. Your kindness is overwhelming and so inspiring.
