Wedding Day!!!

I may be a bit bias, but we had the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. It was a little on the stressful side, but well worth it in the end! Our Temple Time was at 9:00, which meant that we had to be at the temple at 7:45, which meant that that I had to get up at 5:00. Lucky my BCF (best cousins forever) was there to help me get ready. She was a life saver for me! Bryce’s sister was doing my hair so I got there about 5:30, and yes it took 2hrs to curl my hair and do my makeup. Everything was perfect until I realized that I forgot to get my temple clothes and recommend out of my car. Turns out that Bryce had already hid my car so that it wouldn’t get trashed at our reception. We were already running a little late, but the car was parked at the neighbor’s house so it wasn’t that big of a deal! We also had to run back to my house so I could pick up my bouquet, veil, and dress. I had purposely put them out the night before so I would know exactly where everything was. Well I guess my mom also thought that I might forget things so she moved them to a more convenient spot, only she didn’t tell me where it was! So again I got a little panicked, but I found my dress the most important thing and once again my life savor of a cousin also one of my bridesmaids found my veil and bouquet and brought it to the temple for me. After that things were smooth sailing. The temple was perfect. Our sealer was Elder Rex Pinegar, he was a member of the 70, and somehow related to Bryce’s family. I had hoped and prayed that I would be able to feel my dad there. I had really been missing him lately, and was really sad that I didn’t get to do a daddy daughter dance at the wedding. I remember Elder Pinegar saying that our loved ones who have passed on before us are here with us now, and will be forever connected to us through the sacred sealing ordinances. Although I already knew that, it was just what I needed to hear. Our wedding was actually a little short, but perfect none the less. I can't even express how happy I was that day. I love Bryce so much, and being sealed to him forever makes me happier than I ever thought I could be. When the ceremony was over, my aunt Kathy gave me a hug and I could feel my dad's presence so strongly with her. I was so happy that she was able to make it!! Since I was married in my wedding dress, Bryce and I were out in about 15min. The temple wasn’t crowded that day (which was weird because we got married in the Salt Lake Temple on a Friday) We were out before some of our family was even there, so we had to end up waiting for them for about a ½ hour.

Ready or not here we come!!!

My Family

Bryce's Family, and a few of our friends

And now OUR Family

My Bridesmaids and Flower girls

We took about 2 hours and pictures and then we went to mine and Bryce's favorite Resturant, SamPan. When we got back to Bryce’s house everything was already set up and it looked beautiful.

Things were about ready to start when I noticed that I forgot to take my pill and pack for our honeymoon, so I ran down to my house (literally because I couldn’t get into my car because it was in hiding) but luckily once again my BCF and sister were there for me. My cous already had a bag packed and ready and my sister put in some travel shampoos for me. I don’t know what I would have done without my family and friends, they really came through for me!
