Our wedding day was a wonderful day!! It was so beautiful and amazing and happy! Thanks to everyone for their help and support to make our day the best and happiest! :)
We spent the morning Friday setting up for the reception in the church building. With just one little problem: the chapel had no electricity all morning... yikes. Thank goodness it came on later that afternoon, because we had our family dinner Friday night. And Saturday, we had no light problems at all :)
The dinner was nice. Kasper's hosted it, my dad introduced our side, then Tom their side. We ate yummy food, and watched a slide show that my dad very kindly put the time in to make for us. Then, it was off to sleep!
It was actually a good night's sleep for me. Usually, the excitement and anxiety or nerves keep me from sleeping very well. But, I was at peace. I guess there was nothing to be nervous about :) However, when I woke up, my brain triggered a little anxiety and nerves. Not horrible, I still felt at peace, but I had some butterflies flying around my stomach.
My dad gave me one last father's blessing that morning, blessing me with all the blessings needed to be a wonderful wife and future mother and blessing me to know I was doing the right thing. It was a beautiful blessing. Thanks dad!
By the time we entered the temple, all nerves were gone. I felt so much of the Spirit confirming to me that I was doing the right thing. I had so many confirmations the whole time, but being there, the day of, with Tim, I knew it was right. I was so excited and could not stop smiling!
We walked into the sealing room, with so many friends and family waiting for us. It was emotional to see so many loving faces to support us on our special day. Our sealer (Bro Heywood) gave a great talk about the temple ordinances and lead us to the actual sealing ordinance.
And there, we were sealed for time and all eternity as husband and wife ❤ ❤ ❤
We quickly changed, took pictures, and just a small fiasco with the heat and Grandma Glasgow fainting from heat exhaustion..! yikes! She's fine now though, so that's good news!
We went to Tim's house and ate some sandwiches his mom kindly made us, napped a little, then went back to the church to finish setting up for the reception.
It was a beautiful reception. Again, so many people there to say hi and support us! It was so great to see all the familiar faces I hadn't seen in so long!
We cut our cake, and were nice about it. We did a father/daughter and mother/son dance. Then we danced together ❤ After, we did the bouquet toss and garter toss, and made our way out with our loved ones holding sparklers for us! We made our way to our decorated car, and head off to In-n-out for a quick dinner before starting our honeymoon journey (story to come next post!)
The day of my wedding is now my favorite day of my life ❤ I am so happy I get to be Tim's wife, for all of time and eternity!! ❤
