Our Wedding

We got married over a month ago, but now that I have my pictures, I wanted to post a few...

Our wedding weekend was a WHIRLWIND!!

Thursday morning at like 6am (the day before we got married and the morning after Jared flew in), we met with our videographer to record our stories... it was early, but we had to be done by the time the courthouse opened so we could get a marriage license... you know, that one thing you HAVE to have in order to actually get married!  That was easy enough since we beat the rush!  Afterwards, we went out and ate breakfast.  It was a nice little break to a crazy day.  Then the craziness continued... I went to get my hair done for pictures and Jared had an orthodontist appointment. I know, I know - doctors appointments your wedding weekend? - Yep, that's life!  We got to the temple for pictures and we were so blessed.  It was the ONLY day we could take pictures and it ended up being a beautiful day with an amazing sky!  Pictures were a blast!!  Below I have posted some of the pictures from our wedding shoot.  That night, after pictures, we spent time with family that was in town and then enjoyed our last night being engaged!  Being engaged to him was SO FUN!   It was a crazy day but a very fun day!

On our actual wedding day, I didn't get up super early - I always said I would have a later wedding so that I wouldn't have to get up at 4am.  I'll admit, I didn't sleep much that night - I was a bit excited, but I'm still glad I wasn't getting up at 4!  My sister A came with me to get my hair done (I didn't take any pictures! - Ah!).  Then, I ate breakfast, got dressed, packed my bag for the day and headed out the door with my mom.  We picked Jared up and drove to the temple.  Don't worry, we left the marriage license in our car so we had to run back out and get it!  At least we didn't leave it at home!

Our wedding ceremony was really neat and I am SO grateful that I was married in the temple.  It is the only place on earth that has the power to seal you together so that we have the opportunity to be married for time (this life) and all eternity (forever after).  It was also so wonderful to have so many close family members there to support us and even more family and friends waiting outside the temple for us!

We had more pictures afterwards and then went straight to our luncheon.  It was super delicious and lots of fun!  Jared's family spoiled us with his favorite food and their wonderful talents!

That night was our reception.  I had very little to do with the planning for this day so when I walked in to the building, I was blown away with how good it looked!  I was so pleased and thankful to my mom (and dad) who helped it all turn out so great!  We had so much fun seeing everyone who came and it went so quickly!  The food was so tasty (we got big boxes of it to take with us!) and it was a blast!

As we drove away, we could hardly believe the day we had been planning, waiting for, and dreaming of was over!  It was an absolutely perfect day!  And the best part.... I was married to....

him! :)
