i woke up bright and early with butterflies in my stomach the morning of april 28, 2012. i wanted everything to be absolutely perfect and stress free. stress free for me at least. I took a nice, long hot shower leaving very little for the many girls living in one house. but who cares... i'm the bride, right? We had our ceremony and reception at our really good friend Andrew Rinehart's house. at 7:00AM our perfect white chairs were supposed to be delivered. 10:00 our guests would arrive. and 10:30 our wedding would begin. around 8:30 i got a phone call, "we can't get a hold of dave and we don't know where he is" instantly my heart dropped. I thought, 'was my man bailing on me??' I called several times with no answer. finally dave picked up and sounded like he was still dead asleep. {phew!!} all my bridesmaids and i got ready together. i had grown so close to all these ladies in different ways at different times. they are my girls. dave was lucky and slept in, played some zombies with his boys and showed up around 10:15am. when i put my wedding dress on for the first time that morning the butterflies grew and the nerves set in. i was getting married!!!! to the man of my dreams. once i walked down that isle and met dave at the end, the rest of the day went by so fast. we were a married couple, and honestly we both got a little emotional. it was absolutely beautiful. we couldn't stop smiling the whole day. dave planned our luncheon, which was held at joy luck. we enjoyed great food, great company, and great speeches. we are so lucky to have such great people in our lives. after that we had a few hours to spare until our reception. all we kept saying was, 'we did it' 'we're married!!!!' my mom was amazing. i told her how i wanted everything and it all turned out even better than i imagined. we took all our pictures with family, friends, bridesmaids, etc. had our first {& only} bowl of dippin' dots before we started meeting and greeting all of our guests. it seems like a long time standing in line for hours, not to mention smiling the whole time.. but before i knew it we were eating our cake, having our first dance, throwing bouquets, all that jazz and bouncin' to enjoy our first night as a married couple. as soon as we left, we headed towards salt lake. we stopped at california pizza kitchen for some grub. we were checking in at the little america when the receptionist says, 'okay go ahead and head over to the Grand America, we're up grading you tonight, on us.' what?? heck yeah baby! our suite was awesome... california king size bed, living room, huge closet, nice bath tub. we were spoiled. we just kept thinking... i don't want this day to end. it was honestly, the best day of our lives. we'll remember our wedding day for forever.
