Best.Day.Ever.

August 27th, 2011 - Brad and I got married in the happiest place on earth. Not anything Disney related. We got married in the San Diego, CA LDS Temple. If you're from that area, it's the big white building that looks like a fairy castle. It was the best day ever. That temple is, by far, the prettiest building I have ever been in. I really felt like a princess marrying her prince! The day is almost a complete blur. Here are some highlights:

• Having some one professional do my hair was way less stressful than having someone else do it. I drank my jamba juice, ate some oatmeal and let everyone else take care of me. It was TOTALLY worth it.
• Brad's family was at the temple when we got there. Momma Spendlove was already crying {LOVE her!}. Brad looked sooo good in his suit :)
• I am sooo grateful for the ladies in the temple who helped through out the morning. They were a major blessing and I know I did not thank them enough.
• I was already crying before the ceremony. Tears of joy! It is not very often I get moments of clarity when I can feel Heavenly Father's love and know that I am in the perfect place doing the most right thing. 
• During the ceremony, I could not stop smiling! It actually hurt to try to stop. There were more happy tears, but mostly I just kept smiling.
• Once we exited the Temple: pictures, PICTURES, pictures. SO MANY PICTURES!!! Now that we have them, I'm glad. {BIG thank you to Anelise and Malcolm!} 
• My feet were KILLING me. I had picked the worst possible shoes {they were so shiny! how could I not?!}

• The reception was a blur. We, unlike most couples, got to eat A LOT of the food. So much that by the time we got to cake eating we could only manage a bite. {Which is really too bad because all of our cupcakes were delicious.}
• Malcolm and Anelise made us this video, which pretty much made my life! I love their work!

The day was perfect! I couldn't have asked for anything more. So many people helped to make the day magical. I love them all for it.

I am so grateful to be married to my sweetheart! He is the sweetest, nicest, kindest, manliest man. I am looking forward to an eternity of love and friendship with him. I am looking forward to our many, many fun adventures!
