The Big Day!!!

July 12, 2014 

I don't even know where to begin! I loved everything about our wedding day! I actually slept the night before and was excited when I woke up. Of course it was very busy around my house. My family was up and getting ready, Tori (our friend/florist) was working hard, my mom was doing the cake, etc. Lucky for me Mark's sister Heather is a make up artist so she came over to get me ready. My good friend Shanel also came over to do my hair. I'm so lucky to know such talented people and to call them family & friends!

As I scrolled through Facebook this caught my eye... Mark is a sweetheart!

My parents and I headed up to the temple to meet Mark. It was so nice to finally be with him to really get our day started. We were both so excited and enjoyed our time in the temple sitting together and talking. I'm so grateful for eternal marriage and the sealing powers that are available to us. It was a beautiful ceremony, in a gorgeous room, filled with some of our favorite people.

So glad these cuties could be there on my big day!

 Some of my wonderful family who came from all over for the weekend.

 These two have worked their butts off for months to give me my dream wedding. I have always loved them, but after seeing them work so hard at everything, I think I love them even more!

 My cute new nephews!

 These 3 are always up to something!

 So blessed to have our grandparents with us on our wedding day!

 Tori did an amazing job on our centerpieces!

The pictures are clearly out of order, I have about 300 more I would love to share, but this gives everyone a good idea. I'm not sure what I did to get the man of my dreams, have the family I have, the friends I have, and a new family. I've always loved weddings. I'm a sucker for the romance, the beauty, the food, etc. I've spent years thinking about what my wedding day would be like and my day was even better than I could have imagined!

Thank you to everyone who has loved and supported us! 

We love you!
