August 4th 2012
I woke up at 7 am, I couldn’t sleep any longer I was too
excited. Lori and I slept at grandma Alston’s because mom had a full house and
I needed a good night sleep! We woke up and I did Lori’s makeup and then
grandma fed us breakfast, I had fruit loops, cherries and a banana! It was
great!
We went
over to mom’s house to find my keys so we could drive into Lethbridge to get
our hair done. Mom gave me a big hug and told me how much she loved me and how
happy she was for me! Of course I had a good cry! Then we got on the road and
drove into prim to get our hair done!
It felt
so surreal sitting in Aj’s chair getting my hair all curled! I was getting
super excited but I honestly wasn’t nervous at all I was very calm, and ready!
Once we were done, we drove back to magrath, and started doing makeup.
Mark
and Lana came over around 11 and starting getting some getting ready photos of
us girls, we were soon all ready to go, we were just waiting for everyone to be
ready and then we drove over to uncle wades.
We got to uncle wades and it
started to get real! I still wasn’t nervous but I was getting very excited! All
my bridesmaids gathered around and helped me get into my dress. I felt so
beautiful and was so ready to marry the man of my dreams! Mark took a few shots
of me before the wedding in uncle wades house. Then it was time!
We all
lined up and were waiting by the door, Hallie and Dexter went first, and all I
remember is wondering why everyone was shouting at Hallie…. Apparently poor Dexter
lost his pants and Hallie had no idea, everyone thought it was hilarious and it
kind of broke the ice for the rest of us to walk down the aisle. Kass and Livi
were next, followed by Jace, then kinz, then Christie and last Lori.. Then it
was time for me and dad to walk down the aisle.
The
song changed and marry me by train started to play, dad and I both started
getting emotional and we started walking down the aisle. It was so nice to have
dad there to hold me up and to give me away. The ceremony was decorated so beautifully
and the sun was shining it was perfect! I remember first seeing matt my heart
melted it was finally happening we were going to be man and wife!
Bishop
Boyes married us and he did such a beautiful job! We shared the best and first
kiss as man and wife! We all walked back down the aisle and we went over and
signed our marriage license making it official!! After that we started in with
pictures!!
Mark is
so good at what he does, we spent the next couple of hours thanking people for
coming and getting many beautiful pictures capturing all of our precious
moments! Matt looked so amazing, I knew and still know that I am such a lucky
girl and that he will always take such good care of me!
Once we
were done with photos we went over the stake center to start the family dinner.
Vinnie Jensen Catered the event, we had roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, Cesar
salad, and cooked carrots it was delicious! During the dinner we had a program.
Easton Mc’d for us and he did such an amazing job! He didn’t embarrass me to
much! My amazing sister did an awesome number! My mom wrote a song to oops I
did it again by Britney spears it was perfect!! My mom is so talented and so
are my beautiful sisters! We also played a game during the dinner “putter up”
it was a fun game if you wanted us to kiss you had to go up on the stage and
make a put, and for those who don’t golf they could hula hoop and we would
kiss! It was so much fun! We played the shoe game Rawle and Bonnie and Mike and
Cheryl came up to play it with us it was tons of fun. We also had an amazing
slideshow that jace did for us! It was beautiful she did such an awesome job!
The speeches were amazing Jay and Lori both did an awesome job! Mike did a
great job as well welcoming me to the family. Dad sang to me butterfly kisses!
It was so perfect, he is my hero I love my dad so much, he is the reason I love
music so much and I love his voice it is the most pure and soothing voice he
did such a great job, I don’t think there was a dry eye in the whole gym. He
also gave a beautiful tribute to me and a welcome to the family to matt! I love
my dad! Matt followed my dad and gave the most beautiful speech I think anyone
has heard he did such a good job! I love him so very much and am so lucky to
have such an amazing man to love and take care of me!
After
the dinner, we took a bathroom break… I had to get out of my dress in order to
pee.. lol which if you know me you would know that is an issue so I’m lucky I
had Jacie to come to the bathroom with me to get me in and out of my dress!
Miraculously I only had to get out of it twice! After that we went and Dani
took some more pictures of us at uncle wades she got a lot of beautiful shots!
Following
that we had the reception, we served chips, salsa, bean dip and pina coladas at
the reception it was a hit! We also had a candy table and Aunt Mona’s homemade
hot pink chocolates they were delicious! The gym was decorated so beautifully
and the reception was perfect. After the reception we went around and thanked
people for coming and then we headed to Lethbridge to University to the dance.
A lot of your family and friends stayed back to help take down decorations, we
are so thankful to them for doing that!
The
dance was a blast! Kinz Hallie and I were the only ones dancing in the
beginning, but soon the Frenzels showed up and Michelle and Hannah and it
became a dance party! ( I love my family) My mom and dad, Jace, nick, and there
kids showed up! It was so much fun to get to dance with my family, Matt didn’t
dance much lol but that’s okay he was having fun going around thanking everyone
and talking to everyone. Our day was absolutely perfect. I wouldn’t have done
it any other way!
We
danced until last call and then a Limo came to pick us up; we snuggled and
reminisced in how great our day was on our way to the hotel. We are so thankful
for all the hard work and planning that went into our big day! We had the time
of our lives and will never forget it!
