WEDDING

I never pictured a winter wedding but I can't imagine waiting any longer than we did to get married! It was a perfect day besides the freezing cold weather!

We did the reception the night before (another thing I never pictured myself doing) but it was so nice to just leave after the luncheon and not have to worry about the rest of the evening!

Our reception was at the Salem Hills Community Center which is right on the pond. They had it all lit for Christmas and it was beautiful!

We had simple desserts and a hot chocolate bar.

I'm literally obsessed with my ring. He did so good!!

vanilla cake with a raspberry filling and buttercream frosting. it was delicious!

I was so nervous about cutting the cake even though we had practiced! The only mishap was me almost falling over trying to get away from Bryan smashing it in my face ha!

*not pictured* the boys on the floor because their hug was THAT big

"look at mary with our faces close together like when you were little"

it was kind of awkward driving away since we weren't married yet! so we just drove down the road to a gas station, waited for like 20 minutes and then went back to help clean up!

I was staying at Matt and Mikelle's with my family and we were STARVING so of course we stopped at in n' out on our way there.

We woke up the next morning and headed straight for the temple!

I had always wanted to get married in the Salt Lake Temple until the Payson Temple was built. It is absolutely gorgeous, especially the celestial room. Bryan's parents and sister had gotten married in the Salt Lake temple but he had also felt like Payson was where he wanted to get married too. So that was that! It was just kind of meant to be. And I drive by the Payson temple on my way to work every day so I love having that reminder of such a special day!
