American Idol Gave Back to US!!!

So for those of you who couldn't tell-- this is us with Carrie Underwood. That is right, the famous, totally wicked cool, American Idol winning, Grammy receiving, country singing Carrie Underwood. How did we get this privilege you ask. . . because we live at a wedding chapel . . . That is right Chapel of the Flowers was chosen as one of the settings for the new Carrie Underwood music video.

So we waited around and watched about a hundred people fill our parking lot and put all kinds of cameras and lights all over the place. Then we waited around some more while they filmed, and then finally on their way out the door we got a quick photo with her. It was pretty cool, and we are excited to see our little business featured on a music video!

Sarah was so good during the whole thing. Carrie Underwood actually said (about Sarah): "Oh look she's just chillin'." :)

This was the original shot they were going to use before the wind wouldn't die down. Then they moved it all inside.

This is Katie and Sarah chilling on the set (literally chilling, it was cold and windy).

So now we have yet another Chapel claim to fame. Pretty cool, huh?
