Sadie, Sadie, Married Lady
Well, its official now…I’m married. I couldn’t be happier.
Friday morning, I woke up just ready to explode with happiness knowing I was going to marry the man of my dreams for time and all eternity. There was so much to do that morning before heading to the temple, but it didn’t matter when I got there. The Temple is so beautiful. I was so excited to have gone inside and seen what people are talking about inside. It is truely a sacred and beautiful place.
My sweet mom helped me change into my temple clothes. John was waiting for me in a separate room. The sweet temple worker walked me to him. I cried, just a little. Tears of joy and happiness. I hugged him and we were off to the sealing room where Elder L Tom Perry sealed us together for time and all eternity. It was such a special blessing. To know that by preparing to enter into the temple of the Lord and be sealed in his gospel with John is wonderful. Elder Perry was so sweet and charming. He is an amazing man and I am just so thankful to have had him seal us together. After the sealing, we greeted all who attended and then we were off to change.
Thankfully Kandis was there to help me lace up. My dress takes 5 minutes to get out of but 20 minutes to get in. I love my dress. It was one of the most special items I found for my wedding. It was vintage and country and just simply beautiful. It had just enough lace and beadwork to make it charming. After I was dressed, I met john at the temple doors to greet everyone and take pictures.
Wow, did we have to cruise through that or what. We were on such a time schedule that we didn’t have much time to take time. But I know that my photographer did a great job at getting what we needed as far as traditional photos go and then some special ones of John and I.
So what I have yet to mention is that after the temple we headed to the luncheon and it started to rain. Thankfully we made the call the day before to have tents set up so we could keep the cement patio some what dry for the reception.
The reception was beautiful. Kim (wedding decorator and friend) did an amazing job. She is so skilled and talented in this line of work. I love working with her and creating something so beautiful. She really topped herself with my wedding. It was stunning. I loved every single piece about it. She really kept me in mind when creating the space to make it what it is.
The schedule for the evening was a lot more easier. We had a line for 1 hour and then we did the traditional first dance and daddy daughter dance. It was such a special moment with John and then with my Dad. I am so glad that I got to share that with dad. He is one of the the most amazing men I have ever known in my life. I love him so very much. He is one of my best friends. After the traditional wedding stuff, it was time to party!!! We had so much fun dancing. I am so glad that we made it a party and just had the time of our life. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.
We ended the night and drove off as everyone cleaned up. What an amazing night. Worth everything that went into making it so wonderful.
