Wedding Day...

Incredible in every way.  Everything ran smoothly and beautifully from my perspective.  

Brother Hawkes was our sealer.  So very sweet and powerful.  

Michael was so nervous.  There was one point as we sat outside of the sealing room waiting he turned white!  I had never seen him so nervous before! 

 Being able to just sit and be with him in the Celestial room (just us) was the most beautiful part of the day.  No one else existed...

The ceremony was beautiful and perfect...a lot of people came and I was just overwhelmed with gratitude that so many did.  

Poor Cara Jean! I LOVE that girl so much! I am so grateful for her friendship.  

She helped cut the roses, painted my toe nails, helped me wash the yukon and other cars AND put my wedding cake topper on!  

AND at the exact right moment she brought Michael and I water at the reception.  She's beautiful...I don't know what else to say.  I'm so grateful for her!  

Sophia and Lil were stunning.  

They both wore their hair long and straight and just looked so beautiful!  Andrea is of course gorgeous too! She came and brought Isabel who I just love so much.  

She is so smart and so helpful and so loving and it feels so good to be around her.  She helped give out favors and take presents at the door;) 

 Lanette was sad that she couldn't come...so was I....SO sad:( 

I was overwhelmed throughout the night to talk to and hug and smile with people who all truly seemed genuinely happy for us! I loved every moment.

Sparklers lit the way to Michael's car as we left.  It was such a magical part of the night...I LOVED IT!
