Our Wedding Day!

Brad and I were sealed on August 18th, 2011, and what a perfect day it was! Everything was so beautiful and meaningful to us. We have now been married a little over two weeks, and everyday one of us always says 'Hey, remember when we got married?' Being married is just so much better than we ever thought it would be, and our wedding day just put us on such a high.

Everything about the day was so special, but here are a few things that we always want to remember....

-The night before our wedding, i went through the temple for the first time. This was just an incredible experience all together. Brad's whole family (minus Jeff), and almost my whole family (minus Rob and Jess) were there, and it was just the most incredible feeling to finally be able to go through. When i was leaving that night, all i could think about was how everyone needs to go to the temple! There is just nothing like that place. 

-Having both of our WHOLE family's in the sealing room. (minus Jeff who just started med school) There was nothing better than walking in and seeing everyone that is most important to us just smiling and supporting us. 

-The sealer, who gave us great advice. He told us to keep dating, and have fun together. He told us a million other things too, but neither of us can really remember. :) I told you we were on a high.

-Kneeling across from each other on the alter, being completely full of the spirit and excited that we had finally made it! Brad cried more than i did, and i just have never felt more happy in my life. 

-After the sealing was over, and we were walking back down with our escort back to the dressing rooms...we both just laughed the whole way down. We didn't even know why, but we just couldn't believe we were really married.

-Walking out of the temple and having all of our nieces and nephews run up and give us a big hug, and seeing more friends! 

-Our beautiful luncheon at the Blue Lemon that Marty and Keri did a such a good job with. And of course our classic entertainment from 'The Greg' and the Schaack family song.

-After our reception we realized we completely forgot to pick up the flowers from our fluorist. The entire reception no one had any boutineers, corsages, or anything. No one even remembered until after it was over. My fluorist brought my bouquet to the temple earlier, so that was it. Kind of funny.

-Seeing all of our family and friends at our reception was soo fun! It was fun to see so many people, and feel so loved. 

We really are so grateful for everything everyone did, and it truly was the best day of our life! Being married to your best friend is the FUNNEST!!
