leah&kyle, bridals.

Kyle and I took bridals on Thursday before the wedding, after a long and busy and absolutely wonderful day at the temple. That experience in itself made September 2, 2010, one of the most incredible days of my life.

This was the first time we had seen each other, me in my custom Badgley gown and him in his new gray suit.

Photos included sweat dripping down our backs, sprinklers turning on us and a lot of smiling. My husband was such a trooper :)
I cannot express my gratitude and joy about having a father who is a professional photographer. Not only did this save my family a small fortune, but I think his work is wonderful. Truly, I could not have had a better photographer! He brought bottled water and snacks for us to munch on during breaks, coaxed smiles and poses out of us, and used his body to cover my dress when we were surrounded by sprinklers :)

The best part? Dad worked extra, extra hard to get photos proofed and printed for our reception on Saturday. We had beautiful 8.5x11 photos in our black matted frames around the reception, and as another wedding gift, Mom and Dad gave us two of our own black matted frames!

september 4, 2010.

it's pretty great that after all the
stressing, anxiety, worry and tears...

I can look back on September 4, 2010
and truly say
there isn't a thing I would change.



the happiest day of my life.

making a comeback.

So much to blog about. I've been a terrible blogger.

But, I am back to reality and with that, I am bringing back the blogs.

This month, I will blog about my wedding (with lots of photos!), my reception (photos!), our beautiful, amazing, wonderful Grand Cayman Island honeymoon (yes, photos!) and our lovely Utah reception (of course, some photos).

But for now, you can check out this pretty lady's blog about our Utah reception and my other dear friends' blog.

the most important decision.

I am the happiest girl alive.

I am married to my best friend,

the man who is the love of my life.

This whole experience has been so surreal,

has brought me so much closer to God

and been such an incredible journey.

It has made me realize what is important, what is truly important in the eyes of God.

This is the whole reason we are here on the earth.

Not to get jobs, go to school or take trips.

The entire reason we are here is to get married, to raise a family, and return to our Heavenly Father.

This is the most important decision of my life,

and will continue to be the most important decision of my entire life.

I could not be happier, or feel more blessed,

to have such a selfless, wonderful man by my side for the rest of my life.

and it's really true...

being married really is the best :)
