We met at the Temple and I got to sit in the Celestial room with my soon to be husband... Once in the sealing room I could not stop smiling. It was such a wonderful experience to have family there especially when my family all came over to us and told Mitch not to drop moms casket when she dies. Out side we took pictures with our families it was so hot, Mom went in side with grandpa so I only have one pic of her. we kept loosing people cause they would wander off. Eventually we got to leave, and Mitchel and I left in our car but there was really bad traffic down by our house so it took us a long time to get home.
For the reception we ended up getting there late, and some guests had already arrived! So we slowly started a line and would talk to people. By the time we were ready to start the dancing and introduce the party, I was informed that mom got Sister Goulding to watch grandpa so she was on her way. I decided we wouldn't start without mom!! Eventually I began to worry and decided to walk over to the outer hall/ door and to my surprise there was mom just barely arriving. Good the party can start now. I pulled her in and she went to dad and then the party started.
It was a spirtual experience for us. as mom explains it. Sister Gouldings Charity, Moms Hope, and My Faith all played a part in her getting there. And I am so glad we waited for her, and that she was able to come.
The party was intoduced, We had our first dance, and then Daddy Daughter dance which I ended up crying at the end. I was so happy to see everybody dancing and having a great time!! We danced to YMCA, chicken dance, line dance, etc. When we cut the cake we shoved it in each others faces!!! that was super fun. Mitchel stepped on my toe at some point and it started to bleed but all was well. I threw the bouqet and my niece Sydney caught it. Mitch threw the Garder and his brother Kade caught that. As we walked to the car everyone blew bubbles. We started to drive away when I thought I heard something in the back and the sunviser cover was all spread out in the back, then suddenly Kade popped up and surprised us! it was funny, but we kicked him out and headed out to the Anniversary Inn for our wedding night.
Our day could not have been more perfect. It did have some parts that were not so perfect but we choose to not let anything get us down and that is why it is so perfect. It was a beautiful day.
Thank you to everyone who helped out in any way and for those who came, It could not have been perfect without you.
Tori - I felt SO torn up inside that I didn't come to your reception. I really wanted to be there SO badly and be there to support you on your special day!! Your pictures are just WAY gorgeous!! Your smile on that face sums it all up my friend. Congrats again!!
