Reception

After the lunch we had the reception which was AMAZING! I'm seriously so happy with how it turned out. I had been so nervous that it would be ugly or awkward or weird (I've been to a lot of awkward receptions). But my mom did a great job! She basically had to plan it herself because i was in Provo and couldn't help out a ton and she did such and amazing job! It looked beautiful (DEFINITELY pinterest worthy!). I really had SO much fun at the reception...there were so many people there i didn't even get to talk to everyone, but i'm so happy that everyone was able to make it and share our special day with us. We are so blessed to have such amazing family and friends.

Post-Wedding Lunch at Leatherby's

So after the wedding Tom & I went to Leatherby's for lunch with my bridesmaids and a few friends. The family was all setting up for the reception.

It was really fun to just be able to talk with everyone after the wedding because I didn't really get to at the temple. Too much craziness! And i was STARVING so it was good to get some food in me. Anyone who knows my family knows that we are Leatherby's fanatics haha. Ever since it moved to Elk Grove they probably go once a week...(i'm so jealous i don't live there!!). Anyway it was only fitting that we had our wedding lunch there. And since it was our wedding day they had us stand up on chairs and announced to the whole building. Then gave us two gift certificates for free sundaes! YESSSSS :)

I love making a spectacle of myself in public haha...but what the heck it was my wedding day.... :)

Wedding Day

Our wedding day was perfect. A little hot in the afternoon, but it was really wonderful! I got up at about seven (well that's when i got out of bed...i was much too excited to sleep much that night!).

Savannah came around seven thirty to do my hair for me. It was so great! She is so good at it and i couldn't have asked for a more perfect hair stylist/best friend! :) Here's are some pictures of it:

I did my own makeup just so i would look normal and not feel like it was caked on so nothing exciting there. Tom came over before we went to the temple because he had left his tie and shoes there. We weren't really into the whole "don't see the bride before the wedding" thing haha

The temple was wonderful. Waiting to go into the sealing room felt like FOREVER even though it was only like 20 minutes haha. We had written each other letters that morning though and so it was really nice to get to sit in a quiet room and read Tom's letter to me. Being in the room with all of our friends and family was the greatest thing and even though i don't remember any of it...i do remember looking at everyone's faces and being so happy to see everyone there.

Then we went out to take pictures and some video. It was fun to get to see everyone. Although I feel bad i didn't really ever talk to anyone much that whole day i was too excited to focus haha. But here are some pictures from the temple. These are mostly from my mom and savannah & lizzy...I'll post the one's my aunt took when i get them. Sorry if there are duplicates hah too lazy to look for that:

Basically the best day ever. So happy to be married to this guy:
