I do... I mean yes | W e d d I n g D a y

J U N E 25, 2010

I woke up at 3:30 am to my alarm clock. Oh my gosh today's the day!! Showered, did my makeup, my brother in laws sister Kayla lived in salt lake and came to my hotel to do my hair. It turned out perfect :) 

I sent a text to Tyler telling him not to forget our wedding bands :) 

6:45 and it's time to leave! I rode with my parents to the temple. It was only 5 minutes away and it seemed like the longest car ride of my life haha. 

When we got there and Tyler found me, we seemed like little kids not knowing what was going on. We just kept looking at each other smiling :) when we were finally dressed, there was only one thing left to do before we got married. My most favorite part. The part I had been waiting for forever, and the reason why I chose to be married in the Salt Lake temple. Our escorts took us to the celestial room where Tyler and I sat and talked and enjoyed each other's company. The room was mind blowingly beautiful. So perfect. We probably say in there for about 20 minutes. 

We were the first sealing of the day. I loved it because they weren't in a rush to get us out of there. Everyone told me not to get married there because they rushed you through and you didn't get to enjoy it. Not the case with us luckily. 

Our sealer sat us down outside the sealing room and asked if we had any questions. We said no. He then reminded us to not say "I do" but to say "yes". We nodded and walked inside the room. 

It was one of the happiest sights I've ever seen. Every person I cared about was in that room. And  mostly every person in that room still plays a big role in my life today. They were all smiling at us as we walked in and I felt so loved :) 

It was a beautiful ceremony. I remember thinking how lucky I was to be marrying my perfect guy. Someone selfless, handsome, who would do anything to keep me happy, and who held the priesthood. 

At the end, you guessed it. Tyler said "I do" and the whole room was laughing. Hahaha that's Tyler for ya :) 

After the wedding we headed outside for pictures. And what do ya know at 10:00 in the morning it was 90 degrees outside. And my dress weighed 50 lbs it seemed. But we got through pictures :) 

 

We had our luncheon at the Joseph Smith building. The food was delicious. Honestly I don't even remember what it was... But it was good! I do remember the raspberry salad, and the raspberry lemonade. So good. 

Did I mention we got married on my moms birthday?? Well we did. So nice of her to share her day with us. 

         (The nice people at the JS building made her a birthday cake :)

Our reception was the next day so we stayed the night in Salt Lake that night. So the next few hours will be kept private haha ;) that night Tyler did take to the Roof at the JS building for dinner. The most P E R F E C T ending the the most P E R F E C T day. It seriously couldn't have gone better than it did. The beginning of our forever. 

Love you, boo ❤️.
