Mawaige is what Bwings us Togevar Today!

Well all we are finally married! after 4 plus years! wahoo! The wedding was wonderful! there are a lot of people who helped us make our special day so fantastic! Thank you thank you!! So there are a couple of parts that id like to address....
The Dress...
so i picked up me dress a week or two early from the dress store... we found out that there was a slight problem with the jacket not staying put... so i spent a whole lot of time over at my grandmothers house while my mom and she tried to figure out how to fix it... dress on... dress off.... dress on... dress off... you get the picture... i finally reached a breaking point.. hated the dress never wanted to put it on again... i was just being over dramatic.. but the wedding day was hours away and it needed to be fixed! My sweet mom and grandma worked so hard... sewing on and off snaps... and little fasteners... finally it was fixed.. phew! (and just to be clear loved the dress and loved putting it on!) at the temple however we realized that it was still having a few problems... my mom ended up sewing me into the dress. good thing for handy mothers! she did great, even tho I was grumpy during some of the sewing sessions... sorry mom!
The necklace...
My sweet grandmother let me borrow her pearl necklace to wear that my grandpa gave her when they were first married! so cute! and it was so beautiful!
The morning...
Well of course being me i slept in on my wedding day.... woops! it brought to mind the song the little rabbit sings on Alice and wonderland...
I'm late i"m late for a very important date!
So i just threw on some sweats and was ready to run out the door at 6:15 when i realized my car was not in the driveway... ahhhhh luckily Marcus came cruising into the driveway minutes later with the car which he had used to finish his paper route.. wow what a stress.. good thing i slept in or i would have been panicking for longer then the few minutes i was... so i got to Christine's and she did a fabulous job on my hair! so quick and so wonderful! she is great! So i booked it home.. driving reasonably safe back to my house.. i had 20 minutes before i was supposed to be up at the temple... oh dear... so i hurried and put on my makeup and grabbed all my stuff and my mom and i cruised up to the temple. On the drive i realized i was still wearing my moccasins... woops.. so i had to put on the wedding heals.. which was a joy! we finally made it and it was all worth it! Steve was there and we were sealed together for eternity! What a wonderful feeling it is!
The in between...
So Steve and I had decided to go to lunch in between the wedding and reception. He is so sweet he surprised me and packed us both lunches! It was so good! wonderful sandwiches! We also went and satisfied our addictions to Blue Poweraid (Steve) and Diet Dr Pepper (Melissa). We went up to the rodeo grounds and ate while looking over the valley! first lunch together as husband and wife! He is so good to me! LOVE him!


Some more in between...
so we spent the rest of the time getting together things we still hadn't done... me packing (procrastinating...) getting together pictures... and honestly cant remember what else we even had to gather...the tv, the boys, our bags, all sorts of stuff.. I just remember running around frantically to get everything to take over to the reception to meet Randy for photos.
The Reception...
Well we were running late per usual. My mom had to sew me into my dress again.. what a pain.. again she was so sweet to me even tho i was being such a whiny pain... wonderful mommy! So we finally go out there and took some pictures! Randy did a wonderful job! Id recommend him to anybody looking for a photographer! He does wonderful work and is the nicest person! I'm so happy with the results!
The Line...
The line went for the full two hours... i took no break... ate no yummy chocolate fountain.. but i did take off my shoes and my brothers did happen to sneak me some Diet DP and some m&ms...but wow my back was killing me! we had the reception at Cactus and Tropicals! it was so beautiful! I loved it! Chocolate fountains, beautiful flowers. Everyone was running around setting things up! they all did so great! Liz White made my cake and it was amazing and Lexi Politis did all my flowers! they were incredible! My cousin Devin and his friend played the music and did a fantastic job! my brother Chris also sang! so great! Everything worked out great! we danced, ate cake laughed and then we were off! One of Steve's cousins gave us a ride in his hummer limo to the hotel!... it was so sweet!
So here we are happily ever after!
