My Wonderful Marriage

My Wonderful Marriage

I got married December 1st, 2012. 

It was such a wonderful day. Everything turned out really well. In the morning my friend Abby did my hair and make up. She did a really good job on it. It went much faster than the practice did that was for sure. I am grateful to have her as a friend. We go back a number of years. :) 

We got to the temple and once I saw Cody in the parking lot I got so very excited. My eyes were beaming and the smile I had never went away. I was a very lucky, excited little girl....woman. When Cody and I were brought into the sealing room, we saw all our family and friends there. There was so much love in that room it was quite the amazing feeling. When Cody and I sat at the altar from each other, I knew the decision I made was a very correct one. I felt the power of love on both sides of the vale. 

I got dressed into my wedding gown and then it was time to go outside. I thought it would be very nerve wracking but it was not all that bad. I didn't really know what to do but to smile and wave at everyone. They all cheered for us and then it was time to do the pictures. Lots of pictures. I put some of my favorites on this blog so I hope that you like them. 

That is what happened that morning. We got back into our church clothes and went to the lunch on. It was fun and my family outnumbered Cody's family easily. It was funny to see. 

My mom had taken the wedding dress and Cody and I split off from the rest of everyone. We were going to meet everyone back at the reception. So it came time to go to the reception and we get up there. Mom is busy at work of course and I ask this really important question... Were is my dress? Mom just about blew up and said that she forgot the dress. So everyone was busy calling people in Orem to break into Toby's house, get the car keys and get the dress that was in the trooper and drive it up to Heber. Cody's roommate had brought it up and I got into my dress thirty minutes into the start of the reception. We put the dress on so fast it was crazy. Five minutes top I think and it had the lace up back. 

It was fun to see everyone at the reception. It was a big hit I think. We had snowflakes hanging everywhere and lights were strung up along the ceiling. For a snack we served Hot Chocolate and there were all types of    fillings you could put into it like pirouettes, Recees', marshmallows, creamer, whipped cream, caramel...

Then the honeymoon came. We traveled that night to a nice hotel and the next day we started on our way to California. We went to Disney Land and California adventures. They were both really fun. It was the perfect time to go. The longest line was 30 min and the average was a 15 min wait. It was so much better when I went with my family or with the band. Those lines averaged an hour and a half. Here are some pictures of the trip to California.

We stopped by the St. George Temple on our way to California. It is a pretty Temple.

Disney Land famous picture.

This was in front of the Haunted Mansion.

The typical picture getting off splash mountain...showing how wet you got. I got a lot more wet the second time we went on it. Its what happens when you are the first one in the log. 

This is nothing but Legos. It was so neat.

Pizza Delivery anyone? 

This is back at California Adventures. The tower of terror was not something mom should ever go on. It drops you and it is pretty scary. The above picture is us at a movie that was showing in 3D. It was actually 4D because it shot water and weird stuff at you. It was kind of gross but fun. The picture below is a ride from monsters ink. I love the sayings on it. Sugar, Salt, and fat. Bag o colories... It seemed fun.

After California we went to Arizona for a few days to hang out and have another reception. Pretty much we threw a ward party. There were just a whole bunch of ward members there. That is my family while in Arizona. :) 

Then back to Utah for packing which you read in the above post. I hope you enjoyed!
