Trip to Memphis

This past week Garrett and I took a Trip to Memphis Tennessee! Garrett's Greenie from his Mission was getting married and asked Garrett to be in his wedding so we decided to fly out to Memphis for his wedding. We flew out from Salt Lake on Wednesday to Nashville and then Levi (Garrett's Greenie) drove us to Memphis. It was great to finally meet Levi and his finance. They are great people!
Memphis was fun and our Hotel was right in Downtown Memphis right next to the Mississippi River.

We spent the next few days helping them get ready for the wedding and touring Memphis.
Because most of their family are not members of the church, they had a temple wedding, but also did a Wedding Ceremony for the rest of their family. I reminded me of all the weddings you watch in movies with the huge wedding parties-lunch buffets-Dj's-wedding rehearsals-toasts by the best man. It was a little different, but we had a really good time.
The Memphis Temple was so small, but still so beautiful!
Garrett and I were a little limited to what we could go see because we didn't have a car, but there were a few things we could go walk to. Memphis is called the birth place of Blues and Jazz so there is quite a famous street in Memphis called Beale Street. We walked down the street which was full of jazz clubs and tourist shops. We went to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe which had the second largest Elvis memorabilia in the world. We also got to see where they drop the guitar for New Year's Eve.

Tennessee wasn't very pretty (I guess I'm just bias to Utah) but it was really fun to spend time together and we had a really great New Year!
