The Wedding

Well, it happened! And it was a perfect day.

Very clear (but COLD!) day.
I chose to believe the scaffolding around the temple was its scarf.

Words can't describe it, actually. It was a perfect day. I know that's what I should have expected... but I never dreamed it would have been as great as it actually was! And the 10 days since that perfect day have been even better. And I look forward to eternity being the same.

As requested, I am sharing some of the photos so that those who weren't able to come can see that yes, in fact, it did happen, and I wasn't making it up!

Photo credit: Chelsea Lehman was our photographer, and she did an AMAZING JOB!!!

I truly live one lucky life. Keenan and I both do. Thank you to EVERYONE who helped make this such an incredibly wonderful, special, lovely day. We are so grateful to you!

What an awesome group of people! Look at how well they are enjoying the FREEZING temperature!
Successful group photo = my top photographic priority. 
Remind me to share Mom's disaster wedding photo with you someday.



























Keenan: excellent dipper. Linda: terrible dippee.
I love how my side is mostly shocked and Keenan's side is predominantly cheering. Irony?
There are twins in there, FYI.
(In Bethany, not me. Though my womb was blessed MULTIPLE times throughout the day.) 
I love my mom!!!
Henceforth, Keenan will be pursuing a tie-modeling career.

And, after doing our flowers, I will be opening a floral shop.

Holding his lucky six-pence. You can never be too careful.
Don't drop them. #FingernailsWereGrown
Did I mention I did our flowers myself? 
I am Pinterestingly Proud.
One of the first things I ever noticed about Keenan was his socks. #ThumbsUp

Our noses got red,
Since it was VERY CHILLY.
Thus the black and white.
Our beautiful Bountiful!
Everything the light touches is our kingdom.
The subjects of the kingdom just don't know it yet.
Mom made the cake, and she did a WONDERFUL job. She is so amazing!!!
It weighed almost as much as she does. No joke.
Keenan's wonderful parents provided the ice cream!
Pictured: not his parents... but some of our family!
That's a waffle lot of ice cream!!!
What a cute little niece and nephew and sister-in-law I now have.
Mom and Nate provided a beautiful venue for the reception!
The Wight House was the right house.*
*Disclaimer: in some cases the White House is the wrong house.

What handsome brothers. Both are available, ladies!
*shazam!*
Forever friends and neighbors who journeyed clear from Monticello to support us!
I might have shed a tear when I saw they came.
Cutting the cake. I was apprehensive.
I was not.
Keenan was sweet.

But I think he was okay with it.
First (ever) dance.
Recently discovered: We can't dance.
Throwing the bouquet...
My not-so-baby sister caught it,
much to my joint pleasure/dismay.
Me (posing as Quasimodo, apparently):
What?? You can't catch that yet! Unacceptable.
The troops performing their duty! It turned out so cute.
We drove my car so that Keenan's would be protected from such vandalism.
We both know that the Jetta has been with and will go through worse.

And then we left.
And we are living happily ever after!
