After arriving to Cali we got picked up by Brennens mom and dad we went to go get lunch with them, I remember talking about all the plans that we had while we were out there, we had decorating to do family to meet, a marriage license to get and more! A few days passed and it was time for my family to get there. We were meeting for a family dinner that night and that was the last night that I would be sleeping by myself for the rest of my life!
I remember saying our goodbyes and going to the hotel... I couldn't sleep I was getting married the next day. I never thought the day would come where I would say that and the fact that my brother was snoring didn't really help the sleeping part either! I remember sitting down and my mom handed me a note pad and a pen. I sat there for a few minutes writing a note to Brennen that I was going to give to him before we got married the next morning. I remember writing 3 long pages about the love that I had for him and how excited I was to be marrying him and the new life we were about to start together and how I couldn't wait to start a family with him and my testimony of the gospel. Finally after listening to music i fell asleep. The next morning came and I was so excited and a little nervous it was my wedding day. I got out of bed and started getting ready. I did my make up and my mom helped me with my hair. The hotel we were staying at was right beside of the temple you could look out of our window and see angel Moroni. After packing up we headed to the temple. While we were driving up I knew it was where I was supposed to be that day.
August 2, 2013 was the best day of my life i was sealed to my husband and the love of my life for all time and eternity. After we got out of the temple it was picture time!
My life was perfect, I felt like I was living a dream I had just married the man of my dreams in the most sacred place on earth! That night we got to relax our reception wasn't until the next day! Brennen took me to stay at the Mission Inn that night and it was so beautiful it was like a castle, our room was huge!
We got Jack in the Box for dinner that night! Real classy we know! The next day we had a get together at Brennens house with the family, pizza and swimming until the reception that night! It was such a fun time to hang out with the family and be with my cousin Camille and her husband Weston who drove all the way from Utah to come out to the wedding!
That night was the reception! Cake and dancing! It was so much fun to meet everyone that came!
Our first dance was to Love Song by 311, one of our favorite songs! I loved being able to dance with my new husband being in his arms was the best feeling in the world. Next was the father daughter dance with my dad!
My dad and I have always had a great relationship we have so many jokes and whenever I need a friend i know I can always count on my dad to be there for me!
Mother and Son were next!
Cake Cutting!
Throwing the bouquet and the garter were next!
And off we went!!!
We stayed in Long Beach for 2 nights! We got to open cards and relax by the pool!
The next morning we took a shuttle to where we would load to get on our boat to go to Catalina Island for a few days!
We finally arrived and we dropped everything off at our hotel that we were staying at and we went and rented a golf cart to drive around the island!
It sure was beautiful there and it was so much fun!
The weather was perfect and the water was clear I didn't think it could get any better, being with my husband on this beautiful island!
The next day we thought it would be fun to go kayaking!
We rented a kayak and got to go out on the water for 4 hours wherever we wanted to go! We got to see alot of different sea creatures and witness Brennen's water proof case not be so water proof! We got to lay out in the sun and enjoy the beautiful weather together.
We had the time of our lives together on our honeymoon. Of course we did alot of shopping and ate some yummy foods too!
Our time in Catalina was coming to an end we had to get back on the boat to go back to long beach where his parents were picking us up at. I remember going to dinner that night with his parents telling them about all the fun that we had on the island. We had to wake up at 3 the next morning to catch the plane to come back to North Carolina for the reception out here. We finally got back home and got to show his parents all around Charlotte. We had the reception here and the next day his parents had to go back to California. All of the fun was coming to an end and we had to go back to the real life of school and work. It all seemed to be okay though because we were finally married!
