I never really got to talk about our wedding, because I started this blog a couple months after we got married, so I'm excited to tell you all about it! Just so you know, this is from ANGELA'S point of view. :)First of all, I LOVED planning everything. I loved making all of my invitations by hand; designing them on the computer, and then cutting the paper and gluing the papers individually. I loved shopping with my mom to find all of the decorations. It was so much fun. I wish I could do it all the time.
A couple days before the wedding, all of my brothers and sisters on my moms side (except for Jason) flew out from California! It meant SO much to me to have them all there. I wish Jason could have come, but he and Terrie were very close to having a baby at the time and didn't want to risk anything - very understandable!
They were also a big help because they were pretty much my decorating crew. My brothers worked all day to hang my Chinese lanterns up by fishing wire. My sisters were all my maids of honor; helping me with everything I needed. I think I would have been lost without
them all! There's another benefit of having so many siblings. haha
The night before the wedding we all went out to dinner on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. My siblings had never been to San Antonio, so it was a lot of fun to see all the sights with them and goof around!
WEDDING DAY: August 8th, 2008
I didn't have a bachelorette party or anything like that, so my sisters all took me to IHOP for breakfast that morning. I had the Rooty-Tooty Fresh and Fruity with blueberry pancakes. The reason I remember this so well is because when I was trying to cut the pancakes with my fork for the first bite, the blueberries ended up ALL over my clothes. It was hilarious. haha
We went home, and I took a shower and got ready for my nail, hair and makeup appointments. While going from place to place, I would stop and see how decorating was going and help out a bit, but I mostly just relaxed and watched. I needed to keep as calm as possible, because I was getting married in a couple hours. EEEEEE!
At about 4:30pm we gathered everything together and drove to the San Antonio temple. I was SO nervous, but SO happy. When I walked into the temple, I saw Keith inside waiting for me in his handsome suit. We told each other how good we looked. I couldn't believe it was actually happening! First, we went to the temple presidents office and he talked to us a bit. Wh
en we signed our recommends my hands were so shaky that my signature looked all squiggly. It's fun to look at it now and laugh at it. After we were done there, Keith and I went our separate ways.
Now, in my wedding dress, I went to the Celestial room of the temple to meet with my future husband. It was such an amazing moment to be in there alone with him and just think about our future together, and that we would be together forever. It was beautiful.
We walked together to the Sealing room where our family was all waiting for us. During the ceremony I tried so hard not to cry - success! THEN, we were officially married.
YAY! Best day ever.
We walked out of the temple and everyone was taking pictures of us. I loved it! Though, it was a little awkward because no one was really clapping or cheering, but I only noticed until I watched the video. lol We then took our formal pictures with the photographer and went to my house for the reception.
The house looked SO good! I was very happy with everything. It was a very nice reception with lots of family and great music - no dancing though - not enough room in the house for a dance floor. :)
The only sad thing is that it seemed to have gone by too fast. It was a great day...
Here's a video of the day:
