We're MARRIED now!


We're two days into married life and loving it! It's been a lot of fun. Our wedding day was perfect! We couldn't have asked for better January winter weather; it was sunny and a nice temperature so I was able to take pictures outside without a coat. When Scott came up to the house, he brought some naked juices, and we hung out (with David!) until it was time to go to the temple. The whole temple experience was absolutely perfect and completely different from what I expected to day to be like. I felt good the entire time. Being in the temple with Scott made me unbelievably happy, and it was the perfect way to start our life together as husband and wife. Everything after the temple was just an added bonus! We really appreciate our close friends and family who attended our ceremony and met us outside the temple afterward. We are so lucky to have so many wonderful people in our lives who were there to celebrate with us. Neither one of us has ever been so happy! From there we went to our reception and snuck some dinner before anybody showed up, which was a good thing, because we didn't make it to the food table once after the guests arrived! But we had so much fun greeting the people who came to celebrate with us! Thank you to everyone who was there, and we hope we got a chance to see and catch up with everybody. Our reception was at the new humanities building at the University of Utah. It was perfect. It was fun and casual, and I know I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Scott and I feel lucky to have had such a fun party to end the day. We enjoyed good food from Tony Caputos, and we had the best cake I’ve ever eaten, which is a triumph, since wedding cake often tastes like cardboard with a waxy outer coating. Since the wedding, we’ve had fun making our apartment feel like home! We are still furniture-less, but we came home to a full and festive fridge, thanks to my parents, who snuck in and stocked our kitchen with all the essentials (most importantly, Cap’n Crunch). Scott and I are so blessed to have wonderful parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who made our wedding so special. We’re especially grateful and appreciative to our parents, who have invested so much in the occasion. We take off on Tuesday for Santa Barbara, where we get to do the reception all over again, but with a different crowd of Scott’s biggest fans. From there, we’re off to Costa Rica!
