Best Day Ever!

Matt and I got married on August 7! It was so cool. I loved getting married! It really is the best day.

We got married in the Salt Lake Temple, it was gorgeous! We had our parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and some cousins that were able to come. It’s awesome to see all these people that we love so much surrounding us.

Well, we were scheduled to be married at 10, so Matt and I (and our escorts) had to be there extra early-8:30- to check in and get ready and all that. Well, I got up early which is a feat for me. I was so excited, like Christmas. Jefrilyn did my hair, and we couldn’t quite get it right like before, so it took longer than when we practiced, and what we anticipated. Then I got to talk to JoNeale, so that took up some time. Anyway, we were running a little late, and we drove with my parents. We got to park under the conference center for free! Yah! Except so did the other 175 weddings so there was no where to park. I was so excited, and maybe this is bad, but I didn’t care that we were late. I was on cloud 9. Well we got there at around 9:30ish. We were so late, but they still let us get married! My family told me that it was the longest wedding they’d ever seen. Turns out that the guy that married us is my grandma’s best friend, Betty Blair’s brother. Kind of cool!

Then there was a delicious wedding lunch in Herriman. It was so fun to see all the Barnes’ there and eat the yummy food. Once again Matt and I were way late for it. Most people were almost done eating. Oh well, I loved it!

That night was the reception in my parent’s yard. Everyone pitched in and helped so so so much. It was so cool. A lot of people came to support us and there was a long line before Matt and I got there because, surprisingly, we were late. We had a good excuse though, we were helping get ready. We had yummy food and cake and even though we didn’t get everything ready in time and forgot about a lot of stuff, I thought it was the perfect day!!

(That night we stayed at the Anniversary Inn. David and Erin, and Jefrilyn and Paul paid for us to stay there and got us a fun basket of goods. We stayed in the Phantom of the Opera room. It was awesome!)
