We got married on July 21, 2011 in the Salt Lake Temple. It was such a nice day outside. We got married at 11:00 a.m. and of course I was running late. First of all, I went to bed at like 2 or 3 in the morning, because I saved packing for the honeymoon for the last minute. Packing took longer than expected because the honeymoon destination was a surprise, so I didn't know what to pack for... and I just take forever to pack. The next morning, I didn't anticipate my hair taking as long as it did, and I didn't give Rachelle (Tyson's sister/my hair stylist) enough time. It was probably the most anxiety I've ever had. Sitting in a chair having my hair done and not knowing how close it was to being done, having people constantly come in and out telling us we needed to go, didn't have my make up done, wasn't dressed, camera guy there trying to film the "getting ready", Tyson and his parents arriving to drop off Biggie (Ty's dog) and them rushing us to be ready, and all the while I was sitting there unable to do a thing. It was probably giving Rachelle a heart attack because all the pressure was on her. AND my bag for the honeymoon was way too heavy and big and needed to be downsized. We finally got on our way and downtown/the temple was packed with lots of weddings, so parking was hectic, but we made it!
Once we got to the temple, everything went smooth and was perfect. The ceremony was amazing and we had so many people there to support us. It was so fun having my best friends Kristi and Jenny there, I wish I could have been to there weddings! I was a baby all day and kept crying! But it was obviously happy crying. After the ceremony we took pictures for a long time. It was very warm outside, especially in a wedding dress, and by the end of pictures, we couldn't wait to eat.

Our luncheon was at 2 at Christopher's Prime Steakhouse and Grill. I had never been there before, but it was a really nice steakhouse downtown and way good! The luncheon was fun, we had speeches from all the siblings, which of course, many of them made me cry. Everyone was so nice and we had so many people there to support us.
After the luncheon we had to rush to my aunt and uncle's where the reception was being held in their beautiful backyard. Let me give you a tour of the reception...

Their house and yard is absolutely amazing! I'm so lucky that they were so nice to let me hold the reception there. The reception was so much fun. We had a photo booth at the front.

My amazing mom helped me find these awesome window panes and doors from old buildings and houses that were torn down and she antiqued them and we used them as frames. They are SO cute! I love them and now have them hanging in my house. We had the antique doors as a backdrop where we stood and the different window panes hanging around trees and on easels. She also found these amazing outdoor chandeliers.

At the end, for our send off, we let off floating lanterns. THEY ARE SO COOL! I'm obsessed with these things... my dad was so against the idea because he didn't want to be liable for the mass destruction that they could easily cause. I let him shut the idea down, but my mom bought them anyways! It was quite hilarious. We made him come out and watch our trial run a couple days before the wedding... yeah, it didn't go so well. the wind caught the open flamed lantern and took it right into a high tree where it was stuck burning. I ran after it screaming and my mom came after it with a rake trying to get it down before we burned down the neighborhood... and my dad? he immediately ran inside saying he wasn't apart of this! Well we still let them off... and it was a success! they seriously are the coolest things. Such a fun send off. Thank you mother for getting them!

Well that was the reception. It was so much fun! I didn't want it to end. Have I bored you yet? Hopefully not... because I need to introduce the wedding party! I have an amazing family, new family and friends! My mom is the most helpful and best wedding planner I could ask for. My friends, dad, siblings, and Tyson's fam were all so helpful with everything as well. Couldn't have done it without them!
