The Wedding Festivities, Part 2: The Morning

December 14, 2012

The morning of the wedding I woke up and went with my old roommate, Melodie and my sister, Jenni, to get my hair and makeup done.




Melodie said the picture on the left looks like I was freakin' out...that detail doesn't really matter now... Tiffani did a great job with both the hair and the makeup. I'm not quite sure how the pinned up deal in pic 2 turned into my hair, just glad it did.

I went home, slipped on the wedding dress, and headed to the temple with my mom to meet Stan and our wonderful Photographer, Ashley (check out her awesome work: http://sunshineandshadephotography.blogspot.com/)
It had rained a ton the night before and sprinkled some that morning, but the sun came out to play for our pictures. Here are a :few: favorites:
















And then, we went inside the temple. The ceremony was beautiful and an indescribable amazing experience. I love the power of the covenants available in the Lord's house. They're real. And then we were married!
