I'm Married!

Andrew and I were married in the Salt Lake Temple on August 17th! It was such a beautiful day and one that I will always remember! I was kind of worried that I would be really stressed out and not be able to fully enjoy the day, but it turned out so well and I couldn't have been happier! We don't have pictures back from my photographer yet, but you can go to Emily's sister in law, Shannon's website and see some pictures. She is starting a photography business so I invited her to come along and snap some pictures. She did an awesome job! Also Jessica and Emily have some pictures posted as well. I'll be sure to post some pictures when I get them back.

My mom and I headed up to Salt Lake around noon where me met up with Andrew at the temple. It was so nice to have my mom by my side, she was such a support and calming influence on me the whole time they were in town. Our sealing was at 1:40, and apparently there were 60 other weddings that day! So when we came out of the temple there were people EVERYWHERE because of all the weddings. We were able to get some pictures on the temple steps and then walk around temple square a little bit. The crazy thing was that it rained for about 30 minutes while we were trying to take pictures. But it was kind of cute, because we were able to take some pictures with an umbrella, so we'll see how those turn out. The only downside to the rain was that it delayed us a little bit and we only had about an hour window to take pictures between the wedding and the reception. So by the time we got to the reception I didn't really have time to "freshen up" so I'm a little worried to see what I looked like after getting rained on!

The reception was at Market Street Grill in Cottonwood. It was really lovely! I would highly recommend it to others looking for a reception site. The food was so good and the cake was delicious! Here are some pictures taken by the Gruwell girls once the photographers had left and we were able to cut loose a little bit.

There's a wine cellar down in the basement and Levi, our fake photographer, thought it would make a good picture...


Eliza, Laura, me, Jessica (Andrew's sister), Jessica G., and Amy






Our fake bouquet throw. Jessica Gruwell "caught" the bouquet, so you know what that means! :)



It was such a great day! I could relive that day over and over again! I'm so happy to be married to Andrew...he is so kind and so loving and so handsome! Even if the reception and pictures would have been a flop I would have still been so happy with our time spent together in the temple and the fact that I was able to be married to him there!
