The day is FINALLY here! This has to be my dream wedding! I can't think of (honestly) another thing I would want. We've got the band, photo booth, videographer, caterer, tents, lights, monogram, florist, photographer and the family/friends of our dreams! We got married at 12:10pm in the Salt Lake Temple. My Gramps sealed us and the ceremony was amazing! We couldn't have packed one more person into the room or another tear! Man did the damn open and waters flow!
I have never felt so much love or been more at peace then today. I feel so incredibly blessed to be sealed to my BFF! I'm not saying we don't have our challenges but truly compared to some (wink, wink) this is a dream come true! After we got sealed we took pics on the temple grounds.
Then headed to our 5:30pm wedding dinner with friends and family. Ben and I were so exhausted and starving that we stopped at The Sev to pick us up a Diet Coke, Rockstar Lemonade, Twix and Kit Kat-- that definately makes a chic feel skinny in a wedding dress! What the heck-- You only live once! Our reception aka celebration went from 7-9:30. No one wanted to leave! The live band was sure a hit. We left with the grand finale of our very own FIRE WORKS! We got to watch them as we rode away on the Harley between a parade of sparklers. What an amazing day!! Thank you to all of you who made this day possible! We couldn't be happier! Eternity is a long time, you might as well be with the one that makes you incredibly happy!
What an incredible Valentines DAY!! It started off with a surprise brunch at The Grand America. Sunday Brunch is truly a “Grand” experience, with ice sculptures, fresh seafood, roasts, sushi, pancakes, fresh squeezed juices, omelets, crepes, salad, fruit, cheeses, chicken fingers, mini corn dogs, pizza, bread, baked french toast, mac & cheese and more. When I say more--of course I mean DESSERT!! We indulged on assorted pastries, cakes, pies, bread pudding and chocolate fondue. Mmmmm Mmmmm! After we ate we walked the garden courtyard. Right as we reached the fountain Ben got down on one knee-- I couldn't believe he would actually follow a trend and propose on V Day. All those that know Ben-- know he is known for NOT following any sort of trend or rule! I was shocked and Of course I screamed--YES! We were no longer alone~ we heard clapping as he picked me up and twirled me around. Haha! The craziest part is he gave me TWO rings! We talked about getting a band that I could wear to work since I area direct Golds Gym and it isn't the easiest place to wear a ring that protrudes out when I am working with trainers and clients. To my surprise he got both. He gave me the band first as a joke but I loved it! I would have been soo stinkin' happy with just uno! I am more than in love with this man! He is the best friend I've been waiting for ALL THIS freakin' TIME! The best part is how much we laugh together! I love, LoVe, LOVE YOU Benjamin Michel!!! I can't believe I get to spend forever and longer with this stud!
