Family!
I'm back! Warner and I enjoyed a short but sweet honeymoon in the beautiful St. George Yorgason Home. The weather was HOT, but with an air conditioned home, it was great! We got back on the 4th of July and enjoyed almost 2 hours with of fireworks with Warners family (complete with Airials which are now legal in Utah). Since then, I have neglected my email and have focused on getting our little apt. livable. I think I have most of it done, the big thing left is to get the rest of Warners stuff....but he doesn't seemed too stressed about it, so why should?
It's amazing how life just moves forward. Since January, I feel like my life has revolved around the wedding, it's all my little brain could think about! Although there were some stressful moments (ok, and sometimes I just wanted to have it all over with and just be married to Warner), I loved planning the wedding, and I felt like everything went just how I had planned! IT WAS A PERFECT DAY from my point of view! My family and Warner's family were able to be there and pitch in to make it such a wonderful day! I woke up and saw some storm clouds in the distance, but knew it was Grandma Bassett's job to take care of the that one, right? And of course she pulled through!!!!! It turned into a beautiful day!
The temple was perfect: It was so fun to be treated like royalty and get to finally experience being the bride, after so many years of seeing the brides on temple square! The sealing was beautiful with a very special and strong spirit in the room. One of my Grandpa Winder's good friends performed the sealing. Although I would have loved to have had either one of my grandpa's perform the sealing, I know that they were there in spirit, and that the words spoken were from the Lord! The temple is amazing. I feel so blessed to have grandparents on both sides show their love for the temple by serving in the temple and attending often. Anyway, the most important part of the day was so special.
The luncheon was a blast! I was a little worried about this because Warner was in charge and let's just say he's not really a plan ahead kind of guy. But, he pulled off an amazing event at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building! The food was great (I actually ate it and enjoyed it!), and the program was a fun combination. I LOVED IT!
Then I rushed off to get ready for the reception. It's amazing how quickly the time flies. You get done with one thing and it's time for the next. The reception flew by and we had lots of people come! We wrapped up the night with a little daddy daughter dance, and then a couple dance. And then Warner's family took it away with some crazy fun dancing! Warner and I changed and were off to the Grand America after running through sparkler fireworks! It was so fun and I loved it!
Thank you everyone for coming and making the day so amazing! I loved it, and it was many thanks to you. I'll try to get some pictures out soon!
Love you all.
