August 14, 2010 - A Perfect Day

This was, without a doubt, the best day of my life.  David and I went through a lot to get to this day, but it was all worth it.  We were surrounded by family and friends and we were sealed for eternity, and as my dad always says, "It doesn't get any better than this!"  The weather was beautiful, the temple grounds were beautiful, and it truly was a perfect day!  I remember walking into the sealing room with David and seeing it filled with some of the most important people in our lives (minus some siblings who aren't endowed!  Love you guys!)  The spirit was so strong, and we were both so happy to be doing something we'd worked for our whole lives.  What a great blessing! To be sealed in the House of the Lord, by priesthood authority!

After the sealing I went to change into my wedding gown and David went to get his tux.  Sorry to everyone who had to wait in the heat for us to get all dolled up.  But I'm sure you'll agree it was definitely worth the wait!  Check us out!

It was so fun to see David for the first time in his tux!  Due to some weird tradition brides don't show their grooms-to-be the dress before the big day.  David didn't think this was quite fair, so he decided not to let me know what he was wearing for the big day either.  I was completely surprised when I saw him!  What a good-looking husband I have!

 

Here are some more pictures from the temple, I've been trying my hand at some picture editing (I've never done it before) so if they look a little funny that's why.

We had our reception that night as well, and it was a blast!  We had lots of fun and here are some pics to prove it.

 Beautiful Cake (Thanks Cami!)

 Favorite moment of the reception, hands down!  David completely surprised me by sitting me down in the middle of the dancefloor and serenading me!  He was really getting into it if you can't tell!  It was the best!  People will be talking about it for years to come!

Thanks so much to all the family who helped set up, decorate, prepare and serve food!  We love you all!
