April 30, 2010 - Mark and I choose to do our reception at my parents church building and instead of having someone set it up for us, we decided to do it on our own. and oh how i loved doing it. I'll never forget all the time and love that went into setting it up (it meant more to me that way); i'm so greatful for my family and for putting up with me and my OCD about where everything needs to go and making it look good, but the truth is it looked so much better because we all put our thoughts and ideas together and made it much better then what i invisioned in my mind. So in order to get everything done that we needed to get done before our wedding sealing we were up at the crack of dawn, good ol' 6 AM! on my wedding day of all days, but figured i'd get as much of the day of it i could cause it would only come once in my life. So we loaded the cars and trailers up and took everything to church and unloaded everything and started getting things set up in a general area and then started putting some decor up. Same time Mark, my dad, my best friend (bridesmaid) and I are setting things up my mom and sister were at the house making brownies for the brownie bar (300 brownies later!). Yet unfortunately it came to that time that Mark and I needed to leave so we could go get all prettied up for our wedding sealing. I went to where i work at got my hair done, nothing fancy just something classy and to make me look pretty :) and then met my mom down at the temple where mark was as well. Then went inside where eventually all the other family showed up. I went with my mom (i love how the temple has you pair up with your parents, makes a good bonding moment) and changed into my temple dress. I always invisioned me getting married in my temple dress, i see a wedding dress to worldly, dont get me wrong i loved my wedding dress and i looking smoking good in it but im getting sealed to my husband for time and all eternity its about the commitment were making, not so much the dress (kind of, lol). So after our AMAZING sealing and feeling ALL of my family there, both here mortally and those who are on the otherside, i'll honetly never forget the spirit(s) and the emotion i felt on that day. Mark took seriously forever to get dressed and ready for them to call me to the front, the sister that was with my mom and i was concerned that he left me. lol. We then took the walk of fame outside of the temple where all my family and friends were and as we stood on the stairs we got pictures taken and felt so blessed to have everyone there. Once everything settled down we then went to the dinner at Crackers, GREAT food. As we laughed and cried while sharing memories and making toasts it was great to have everyone there. We then left and had to make a view errands on our way home but then finally got home and well the magic began. :)
