Wedding Festivities

Eight days ago I married the most amazing man on the face of the planet. I know every one says that. But really- he is my own Mr. Thornton {North & South reference here. If you don't know what I am referring to, you should probably watch this}. 

The festivities started on Thursday with my bachelorette party. Let's just be honest here, I am LDS. So when I say bachelorette party, it really is just an excuse to go out to eat and do pedicures. {Mormon Bachelorette Party}.  My sister Melissa put it together for me, and it was just a few cousins and a few good friends. It was a blast, the perfect way to start off the wedding weekend.

Friday was just a mass chaos of putting together the wedding. My best friend, her mom & little sisters came over to help along with a gajillion neighbors, family,  of course Melissa (friend) and Ashlee. Friday was so much fun, it was so fun to see all the people important in my life come help put together the wedding and I just had a blast. I had heard so many horror stories about the day before stress; but I loved it. There was stress here and there, but overall it was pretty much a pre-wedding party.

Saturday Robert and I started off our day with an early morning run {since that is how we started dating and all. See marathon story here}. My best friend Sarah came over soon after to help finish last minute things and help me get ready! Lets just say I have awesome sisters who helped put me together. 


We had the luncheon at 11; it was absolutely perfect. We just had close friends and family attend and we were  able to visit with everyone for a substantial amount of time. So many traveled to share that day with us.  Jani & James {we went to their  wedding back in June. Recap here. Jani is awesome and a gorgeous bride!}, Briana, Kara, & Sarah all traveled down! We also had killer food; it was pretty much the best part. {thanks to Linda for capturing the Luncheon and all the deliciousness}.

Robert and I were sealed in the Las Vegas temple at 3 pm and by 5:30 we were back at my house for the family dinner before the reception began. The whole day ran smoothly, and perfect. There were so many that came out to support us and I was just marveled at the crowd! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
By 9 Robert and I headed out! We headed to Lake Tahoe for five days for our post-wedding vacation. Recap on that will come later.

We are still waiting for our official photographers pictures, but Linda did get a few for us!
