Natalie and Phil got married!!!

So Natalie and Philip got married on Saturday! Yeay! And Phil absolutely DID NOT want anyone to decorate his car. He loves it too much. So he had made his sisters and their husbands promise that they were not going to do anything to it. Well, he had not made Richard and I promise. But no one would "flat out" tell us where they were staying, so we did some research. We knew they were staying in St. George, and there are only a handful of hotels that are nice enough for Philip's wedding night! :)
So we called around and finally found the hotel where they were staying. We drove up to the hotel to make sure that the car was there, and when we found it, it was parked right in front where I am sure he thought he could keep an eye out for car decorating offenders! But he didn't catch us.

We went about 11:30 and decorated his car, windows were written on with window paint, with such phrases as "Just married, oh yeah baby", "You got punked" (this was my personal favorite since he didn't want us to do it...we pretty much punked them!), "Baby on board", "Hot new couple", and "We love you". We also covered the car, well a lot of it, in post-it notes. We used all of them and only covered the top half of the car. And we had debated at the store whether to buy one package or two...dang!

We would have went back to the store and got more, and come back...but there was a dog in the car next to us that kept barking. It was SO annoying. Why would they leave a dog in the car anyway. And those people, when they drove up, said "I don't think that is such a good idea, that is too bad!" They said this to us, referring to us decorating the car. Richard and I got a kick out of that!

But there were a few people/couples that walked by that said things such as, "wow! what a good idea, we should do something like that", "that is awesome", "good work guys", "way to be sneaky!", and other fun comments!

We finally finished just before midnight. We drove off, pretty proud of ourselves, and expecting to get a call on Sunday morning! No call came, nope. Richard recieved a text message from Phil at about 8 p.m. Sunday night. "Someone owes me a supersonic car wash". That is the first time that they had found the car...8 pm the next night! Room Service?

Philip and his wife probably had other things to do than go check on their car ;) They probably went swimming, hung out in the hotel room, etc. all day, and didn't see the car until Philip had to go to the grocery store to get something they forgot to get the night before for the dinner they were making. Just a thought. . .
