Kayli and Nathan were sweethearts in high school. I think they knew that they were the ones for each other that early on. They waited through high school, 2 missions, and a few months after that to be married for time and all eternity in the Payson Temple. They're so sweet and cute with each other. Nathan can make Kayli smile so big. All he has to do is look at her.
Their wedding on July 8, 2016 was gorgeous. The weather was blue skies and so nice (despite the wind). Kayli and Nathan exited the temple hand in hand, excited to be Mr. and Mrs. Crook. Kayli's little sis was the first one to greet her. Soon after, the parents and the rest of their siblings came and gave them hugs.
In an attempt to hide from the wind, we went to the back of the temple for group shots. Well we couldn't hide. It was super windy everywhere. But everyone was nice and we got them done! I even had a little more time to get a few shots of Kayli and Nathan. Some people asked Nathan how many times he had kissed his wife. So he kept kissing her and counting. It was cute!
Later that evening, they had the reception at Sleepy Ridge Golf Course. We took a few more family pictures in front and then the reception started. Kayli and Nathan had a line for the first hour, so I got detail shots of the reception. The details were so gorgeous! Kayli's mom made her cake. It was BEAUTIFUL! Then Tricia Thomas did all the flowers. There was a lot of flowers, and she did an amazing job. For food, they had caterers come in and make you crepes on the spot. Looked so delicious. They also had a photo booth and that was a big hit. There were so many pretty details.
After the line, Kayli and Nathan cut their wedding cake. They nicely put the cake in each other's mouths. Next, Kayli threw her bouquet. She and the ladies did a pretty great job. It's too often that I see the bouquet fall to the ground before someone gets it. But her bouquet was snatched right out of the air! After, Kayli danced with her dad. (By the way, her dad, Dr. Peterson, is the best pediatrician ever. Just sayin). Kayli is the first one of the family getting married. She is still her daddy's little girl. It was sweet to watch them dance. Pretty soon, Nathan and his mom danced and then Nathan took his wife and they danced to the rest of the song together.
Then the fun dancing started! The young cousins, her brothers, and their high school friends immediately took over the dance floor. It was a fun group of people and they were all fun to watch dance. They danced for a while and then did their sparkler send off!
Congrats to Kayli and Nathan Crook!
