When Austin and I tied the knot!
We decided to get married on October 1st of 2011. I thought the end of October would be a nice time to get married, but when I brought this date up do Aust it was shut down pretty quick because of the fact that they had to "do cows" at the end of October, followed by the dear hunt and his birthday. That obviously was not going to work for him so we agreed upon October 1st. This was probably the one and only thing he really had a say in. Everything else he just went along with.
To the wedding day. IT WAS AMAZING! I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding. We decided to have our wedding and our reception at the same place since it would cut down on cost. We ended up picking the Stephen Wade Alumni House. It was perfect and just what i wanted.
We had our wedding in the morning. It was a beautiful day, still a little warm, but that was expected living in St. George. I hadn't seen Austin since the morning before. I got my hair and makeup done at my parents house and then drove over to the ceremony to get my dress on and do the last minute touch ups.
I walked down the stairs to meet my dad. Our ceremony was outside in the back yard and we were going to be walking out the back doors to get to the isle. When I was talking to my parents ad brothers by that door. It all hit me, I was getting married today! This is the day that most girls dream about since they were little, and today was my day to live that dream. I was very nervous but so overwhelmed and excited to see my hunny on the other side of those doors.
My Brothers were the ring bearers, so they went first. After they sat down, I took a big breath and I knew it was my turn. My dad and I walked out those doors and i wasn't sure if i was going to laugh of cry! When i saw Austin my heart melted. The journey down the isle was somewhat tough since i decided to wear heels, and my isle was grass. I had to grasp onto my dad with every step so i wouldn't sink into the ground.
I got up the the front where Austin and Bishop Paul were standing. To this day I dont remember much of what was said, but I remember looking into Austin's eyes and being so overwhelmed with joy and happiness.
Our ceremony ended and we kissed and exchanged rings.
Everyone then piled into cars a little while after and headed over the Kelly and Deanna Blake's home (Austin's Parents) to have a luncheon. We decided Navajo Tacos would be pretty easy to do for lots of people so that is what we ended up having. As everyone was enjoying their delish Navajo tacos a storm rolled in. This was not good news since our reception was outside. Luckily, the storm passed pretty quick and nothing was damaged at the reception house. It actually was a good thing, it cooled off the day a little so it would be bearable to stand outside in the evening.
After the luncheon Austin and I took a little snooze. The festivities got us a little tired.
Our reception started at 5. When we got there is was mainly family so i was able to walk around and see how everything had come together.. It was beautiful. Just what i wanted plus some.
The rest of the night was like other wedding evenings. We stood in our line for a while, cut our cake, and danced. It was lovely. We didnt get much food for ourselves, but but from what I understand, it was pretty good, especially the cupcakes, strawberry, chocolate and carrot cake. YUM!
As the night wrapped up I was wondering what was happening to our car out front, I could only imagine it was going to be pretty intense since Austin was the last of 5 boys to get married. Payback was a beast. Not only did they get Austin's truck pretty dang good, they got my lincoln equally as bad since they knew thats what we were taking down to vegas that evening.
Thanks for reading! Till next time.
