Our Wedding Day Was Perfect

This is a video that I made using pictures from our wedding day--I did it as a surprise Doug for our first anniversary (some of them are proofs so they have my photographer's stamp across them. Free advertising for him--you're welcome John Sharpe). As I went back and watched it this morning I saw how many candid pictures there are of me laughing...and I realized that not only did I have a beautiful, dream wedding day because I had so many beautiful things, but also because Doug and I had the right perspective about it all. It was a perfect day because I wasn't behaving like some stick-in-the-mud bridezilla about everything--and I could have because there were plenty of things that went wrong, let me tell ya!

**Just a few examples of what did not go as planned are, 1.) Some of the guys in the wedding party got the wrong color vest/ties, 2.) Thanksgiving Pointe lost the music for our reception and didn't find it for over half an hour, and 3.) Not one member of either of our families was on time for pre-reception pictures, or even the reception itself--guests started arriving before any of our family members...and because of that we didn't get all the pictures that we wanted with our families which is really sad.**

But when Doug and I decided to get married we also decided that anything less than forever with eachother would never be enough. Because of that perspective, our Temple marriage meant more to us than the way people were dressed or what was playing in the backround. That day was the beginning of our forever, and there was not one a single thing or person that could lessen the love and joy that we felt--we finally had eachother, everything else was a bonus!
