Wedding Day before the Reception!!!...With the most amazing husband ever!

Ok, SO, i got up early the next morning, and by early i mean around 7-8ish, and helped Aunt Jan with the little poem that was framed on the favor table and other small tasks. Aunt Jan made me and Jenny breakfast which was waaay yummy (Jenny said with me that night!), and then we were both off to get our hair done. Jenny got hers cut and i got mine did all pretty for the day. Brakell freaking rocks. I didn't realize that i didn't schedule things well and i would be cutting it close to get to the temple on time...luckily i was in Jan's mustang..:) needless to say i made it home quicker than normal lol. So, got home, had everything packed and in the car, and Jan, Lloyd, and I took off and headed for the temple. It was weird i thought i was going to be nervous, but i wasn't. I was anxious more than anything. I got to the temple and David and i went and sat in one of the recorder rooms and made sure all our information was there and correct then went our seperate ways to change. I love being in the bridal room, that day there was apparently like 15 or so other weddings going on, so there were about 4-5 other dresses in the room. Love it. Ok, so i got dressed and met David in a waiting room right by of our sealing room. It may or may not be sacriligeous, lol but we were definitely being silly and kissing, and just, being us. There was a bit of a complication so our ceremony was running late. My Grandpa Garth accidentally forgot his recommend in Utah and he was one of our witnesses. So we decided if he didn't show up, then we would ask David's Uncle Rick to be a witness, but then no one could find Uncle Rick lol! After about 5-10 minutes my temple escort came and told us it was time, that they had found Uncle Rick and everything was ready to go.

David and i walked down the hall into our ceiling room, it was beautiful. However, the second i walked in, i about started bawling. There in the corner of the room was my Dad's brother, my Uncle Dennis. He is almost identical to my dad and i couldn't help but picture my dad and how he wasn't there. Before the ceremony even started i was all watery eyed, so i kept my head down and David was squeezing the life out of my fingers for one reason or another :). After i regained composure i was able to concentrate more on what the sealer had to say. He was a silly guy lol. Kinda off the wall really lol. Anyhow we got through the Sealing, said the "I Do's" and were off again. It was weird. There was this part during the sealing that i could REALLY feel that we were married, that if happened and we were welded together. And then when we left the room it was gone, and it just felt like we were playing house again. I think that it was important that i felt the distinction though, it made it final. Anyhow, so David and i changed into our wedding getup, my white fluffy dress and his sexy suit, and exited out the east side doors!

This is gonna sound silly, but exited out those doors was just one of those things. lol Everyone who gets married in the Vegas temple has the "doors picture" the one right after you get sealed adn you bust through the doors and everyone is out there waiting....ya i freaking loved this part! lol And of course after we came though the doors david had to do his embarrassing bit...*sidenote* so while we were dating, david would ALWAYS like to embarrass me in public with this phrase "everybody, everybody! This is my hot girlfriend!" so its kinda been an on-going joke, and when we got engaged, he had to "everybody, everybody, this is my hot fiancee!", so OBVIOUSLY right when we can through the temple doors to see everyone, after we were officially married David held his hands up and "everybody, everybody! This is my hot wife!" lol i dont think he could help it. After that it was awkward for .5 seconds, when we didn't know what to do. Everyone was just kinda standing around so we started to make our way around everyone receiving the congrats and giving out hugs. After that our handi dandi professional photographer got bossy with us as requested and called out names ordering us around for group pictures. It was freaking hot outside! 3 in the afternoon and we were rockin and rocking taking pictures, walking up hills, jumping around...good times, good times.

Finally we were done with family pictures, bridal party pictures, and David and my individual picture business and we were finally off. We stopped and put gas in the car and got drinks then went to Aunt Jans to sent out a little something for her and Uncle Lloyd adn to NAP. We were sooooo tired and we hadn't even conquered the reception yet. So, i showed David our wedding bands because he hadn't seen them yet, and then fell asleep on the couch. It wasn't until Aunt Lynne, who was staying there, was like "you guys had better get up if you dont want to be late to your reception!" that we woke up.

Stay tuned for the reception part of all this....
