here you go! hope you're not disappointed!

this shouldn't surprise you but here are the wedding pictures. i am working on a mac and i can't get the pictures in the order i want so i am sorry about that. it was a great day and we missed you all who couldn't be there!! now....in with the commentary....

we took some bridals and groomals in a town called eureka. it is practically a ghost town but there were some pretty cool spots like this old house.
and this romantic old door.

and here all of the sudden is the group at the temple (see what i mean about proper order?!)
and here are mark and me coming out of the temple. i opted not to wear my lace jacket at the temple. but i did wear my sweet yellow shoes.

oh what's this? some bridals....our rings and my pretend bouquet, the real one weighed approximately 30 lbs and i called it my baby all day and kept asking people to hold the baby.the old house again. i have on the lace jacket here. don't we look old fashioned?

mark's sweet tie and our rings.
us at the beautiful manti temple. i love the overcast sky.
us on temple grounds.
the smith family
me and the sibs: matt and marnae. no mike.
the food at the reception. sorry about the decoration pictures but i want you to feel as though you were there and if you were there, then you can remember these fondly. also i had a sweet team of help all week to pull off this gig. a big thanks to all the cousins and especially AUNT TREV!!!! and dani and kenz and riley!!
the book and our candy stick favors that no one took with them so we have a ton!!! seriously if you visit us in spokane you will receive these.
our centerpieces
our awesome musician jordan riley. if you ever need a wedding musician, call him!! he rocks and is totally easy on the eyes.
our cookies. they turned out so cute!!! thanks cookie makers brenda, nakole and marn!!!
the cousins and the bride. and the sister. dani on the ground and then marn, kole, me, kenz and mauri.
mark and i finished this old dresser that i got from our neighbor and then set up this little display.
our gifts. those doors are yellow and they looked really cute and see those yellow balls above them? i made 60 of them and they were a pain in the rear!! but they looked good all around the yard.
our RICE KRISPIE cake!!! it turned out better than i thought. mark and i made this all by ourselves. we can be hired if you need us and don't want a real wedding cake like me.
this is my mision president but i also wanted ou to see our back drop. those garlnds were everywhere and so pretty and made by AUNT TREV!!!! anyway, it was a delightful day and i hope you enjoy the pictures!! sorry they took so long!

Oh. That was a special day. And when I say special I mean: the bride was beautiful, the groom was handsome, you got married in a temple/castle and reception was wonderfully planned out and decorated with attention to every detail. Well done! Let the happily ever after begin, right.

It looks like such a lovely wedding! I was so disappointed I wasn't able to attend. I ended up having to go to a crap family reunion.

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely photos!

Robyn said...

Wow. I'm speechless. It looks beautiful. I wish I could've been there. Congratulations!

oh la la...i continue to be mesmerized by the perfection of everything from your wedding day (a mere 16 days ago, might i add).

congrats, my lovie. expect your gift soon. and by soon, i mean within the next few weeks. why? because, being the clumsy oaf i am, i accidentally broke a bit of it in transport. hopefully, the repair is swift...

ps...i took candy sticks. and ate them.

So, so, so pretty. I'm in awe. I wish I'd been there; too bad we live like a million (ok, like a thousand) miles away. But contratulations!
