Happy Ever After

I don't even know how to begin to explain the best day of my life.  As a little girl I always waited for the day where I would marry my prince charming. In young womens I remember making a list of every quality I wanted my husband to have, the list looks like this

1. Handsome and Tall
2. Strong
3. Hard Worker
4. Kind and Loving
5. Priesthood holder
6. Returned Missionary
7. Treats me like a princess 
8. Honest/Trustworthy
9. Has a strong testimony. 
10. Good Sense of Humor/ Funny
11. My Best Friend

 I can say without a doubt that chris measures up to all of those qualities and goes far beyond in many ways.  I cannot say how blessed I am to have married him.  Chris complements me so well and helps bring out my good qualities.

The temple was an experience I will never forget.  You just cannot explain the magnificent spirit that is felt within it.  No doubt in my mind, getting married in the temple was the best decision I ever made. I know that the work put forward to be ready and worthy to enter the temple was worth it.  I look back now and think to myself how guided and directed I was in my life by the spirit to make right decisions so that we could be married within the temple

Chris's grandpa was our sealer and he did a magnificent job.  The sealing had so much feeling and meaning.  Looking around and seeing all of my family and people that cared about me overwhelmed me. I remember looking into Chrises eyes and realizing I would be with him forever.  It was a feeling I will never forget. I know without a doubt I made the right choice to marry him.

Coming out of the temple.  I'll have to admit, I did tell Chris that we needed to look cute when we walked out of the tmeple.  But man did he over do it.  He grabbed me right when we walked out and started kissing me a lot.  I had to nudge him on the back and tell him, "Thats Enough Chris" 

It was so exciting to walk out and see everyones faces

Chris loves his little neice so much! She's adorable

I couldn't be happier to be married to my best friend!

He's pretty sexy I'd say

The wedding crew, all these people helped so much with the wedding and were there to greet us when we came out~

Gross! We love to kiss

I Love this picture!

I kind of feld like a princess, all decked
out with my hair done and a beautiful dress.
Plus I just married my prince charming.

Best decision I ever made! I still cannot fathom
that I get to be with Chris forever!

Toms were a great pick for a lot of walking around!

How did I get so lucky? 

The lady's on Chrises side of the family!

All my girls! I love my friends they have helped me through so
much.  I have learned from all of them! 

Chrises boys:) 

My grandparents.  I really look up and admire them

My fam, love them with my whole heart! 

My mom didn't think we got a picture at the wedding. She had nightmares about it after the wedding.  When we finally got the wedding pictures back she was thrilled when she saw this picture.  My mom is awesome!  My wedding day wouldn't be anything without her and all her hard work.  My mom has been my best friend for a long time! I love her

We thought we'd experiment a little bit.  It worked:) 

These girls are the best! 

How cute is Chris's Grandfather? 

Thanks mom and dad for everything and the amazing wedding

Jake and I.  Its kinda crazy how much old he is

Hahah, this picture was a bit of a surprize when we got the photos back! We could not stop laughing. 

I didn't get to actually try it, but I hear we had a
delicious crepe bar.

The reception center was quite full.  We ended up going down the
line to break it up as the night got later. 

Cami sang while Alli played.  They were so cute!
I wont forget Cami came over the night before the wedding
to practice their song together.  It was so sweet to hear them
and calming as I was getting anxious for the next day. 

Can you believe we actually snuck in a bite of food at our
reception? It wasn't until almost time to leave.  Luckily we had
made a little stop in at Red Mango from the temple to the
recpetion

He actually fed it to me nicely! Surprize! 

Kiss!!!

Throwing the boquet.  I might of hucked it a little too hard
at first. 

Stehpanie Wright, one of my good friends from high school caught it.

It was so fun to talk to all of my good friends!

Daddy Daughter dance.  This was one of the most special
parts of the whole day.  It was so nice to be able to step back and
talk to my dad amoung all the business. I love him so much and I
am so thankful for him in my life.  I don't know what I would do without him

I don't think I will ever be able to listen to the song
we danced to without remembering this special time
and getting a little teary eyed. 

Chris and his momma so sweet. 

Time to take off!

So blessed and lucky to be married to my best freind!
