The Wedding Day

The wedding day was busy and wonderful. My dad, Madison, and I went to get my hair done. I went back to the hotel and did my makeup with Madison’s help. We had to arrive at the temple an hour early so that Nick and I could take care of paper work and such. I got ready with my mom as my escort. I did wear my wedding dress to get married in. Before the sealing and after getting ready I met Nick in the sealing room. I guess it had taken me awhile to get ready and Nick admitted he was scared that I wasn’t going to come. But we were happier than ever and were sealed for time and all eternity.
I wasn’t nervous or scared about my decision to be married. Everything felt so right. I was marrying a good person, with good values, who loved me, and I was crazy in love with him. When I looked across the alter at Nick, I knew all was well.

We were going to take pictures next and needed to get ready for them. I was in the locker room for about five minutes before I was ready. Then I waited outside for Nick for about 30 minutes. I just thought it was funny that I had to wait for him. We went outside and took plenty of pictures in the freezing cold. We were lucky it didn’t start raining until the second we stopped taking pictures. Anyway, when my mom and I left the locker room to take pictures we left our recommends inside and now we could not get back in the temple to change and get our stuff. All of Nick’s family had left by this point and I didn’t have any other family there. Luckily, there was a nice stranger behind us in line who offered to take our keys and bring us our recommends. I guess you really can trust people in the temple. The lady had to go though my wallet to get my recommend!

Eventually we were changed and Nick and I went to Cheesecake Factory to eat with my family and the Liljenquists. We ate and then stopped by the hotel to pick up my luggage. We then went to the house that our reception was in and started to get ready for the reception. While I was getting dressed upstairs, Bethany and Sister Morrin were helping me get dressed. Suddenly out of nowhere a bug zooms across the room and down my dress. I started freaking out because I could feel it crawling around and I couldn’t reach (because of the sleeves of my dress) to get it out. Poor sister Morrin had to reach her hand down my dress and pull the yucky bug out.The reception was beautiful. We had many guests show up. We had lots of food and a white chocolate fountain! We cut our cake that had been decorated by Nick’s cousin Jessica. I threw the bouquet to all of the little nieces. Then we left. We took Nick’s dad’s truck and went back to Nick’s house to get all of his stuff. We stayed in a hotel near the airport that night since we had a five AM flight to Mexico the next morning.
