Let's start with the night before. I remember going to bed super super late because I was with Thomas of course. I knew I had to wake up the next morning at 7 to get my hair done, but of course I'm not going to go to bed early. I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep anyways! I remember waking up off and on the whole night. It was seriously the longest night of my life. Knowing that the next night I would be sleeping next to my husband made me so excited. I couldn't wait =]
I woke up super early and watched The Office on my laptop in bed for like 2 hours haha. It was so cute because I remember getting a text from Thomas really early that morning saying he couldn't sleep at all that night because he was so excited. My cousin, Kim Willis, came over that morning to do my hair. It was such a weird feeling knowing that in a couple hours I was going to be a married woman! Crazy stuff! I was so stoked. I got in my wedding dress and my mom drove me and Thomas to the temple! Our sealing was going to be at 11:15 =]
The sealing was so great. I didn't know what to expect because I didn't know how weddings went in the temple, but it was perfect. Our family and a few friends were there. I'm so grateful for all who were able to come and share this special experience with us. Kneeling and looking at Thomas across the alter was an amazing thing. I seriously couldn't stop smiling the whole time! (Oh and later I was told that I kept moving my feet haha. I swear I can never sit still... I'm always moving).
Coming out of the temple was fun!! We had to wait a few minutes because there was another bride and groom who were out there taking pictures. Busy day for weddings! When we walked out, everyone who was at the sealing and a few more people were there to see us. We took pictures with everyone and then left to go to our luncheon!
Our luncheon was at Mi Amigo's. It was so yummy but I remember I didn't hardly eat anything because I just kept thinking how crazy it was that I was officially married to Thomas. Like really...? Did that just happen?? Haha I felt like it was a dream. A really good dream. I'm glad it was real! The luncheon was great. Our parents bragged about us and then Thomas and I shared the story of how we met.
Our reception was that night, and it was at Nanette Brinton's house, my good friend Heidi's mom. Heidi's reception was there as well, and I remember loving it and thinking that I wanted my reception there. Nanette emailed my mom after Thomas and I got engaged and offered her backyard for our reception. I was so happy about that. The reception was great! I loved it and had a lot of fun. We had super amazingly delicious food- pork sandwiches, macaroni salad, beans, crackers and cream cheese dip, and cake. We did the line for an hour and then did dancing after that. Thomas and I surprised everyone by starting out with a slow song (one of Courtney Cotter's songs) and then busted out into a dance we choreographed. Haha it was the greatest thing ever! I'm so glad we did it- it was so fun!!
We left after the reception to an awesome hotel in Tempe called The Buttes! =]
We have now been married almost 2 months! Yay!
