MARRIAGE!!!

Sometimes when I have SOOOO much to blog about it is really tempting to not blog at all. I think that I can't possibly do justice to all the events that I've missed writing about so far, so I might as well not even start.
Well that attitude is LAZY AND FALSE so we are going to kick it straight to the curb and dump it in the dumpster out back with the oodles of appliance packaging and gift wrap that resulted from Trenton and I opening wedding presents Monday (and by the way, thank you all. It is kind of beautiful that anytime I look at anything in the apartment I am reminded of the generosity, kindness, and love of someone else for Trenton and I. The world is a beautiful place, even if there are a few problems here.)
So here's my attempt to at least begin talking about the wedding day. I will do another post later, hopefully, about the honeymoon, because I can't squish all that happy goodness into one blog post.

Zoooooom. We just rewinded back in time to Saturday, May 31.
I woke up! YAY IT IS MY WEDDING DAY! I said in my head. And then I got up.

My friend Mallory who I danced with forever did my hair for the wedding, and she was a saint. She did a practice run earlier this month, as well as doing my hair for my bridals, and then met me at the salon early to do it for the wedding. Super champ. After my hair was done, we headed up to the temple. Being there was surreal, but so so happy. Sitting with Trenton before the sealing was great, but we were both a little eager - for a minute we thought they'd forgotten us, but we were just super on top of things and were there early.

Matt and Elaine, uncle and aunt extraordinaire, took notice of the exact time of our sealing for me, so I can happily report that we were married, legally and for forever, at 11:28 am on May 31, 2014.

Lots of our wedding pictures are still coming but I will post some that we already have here.

The three pictures together on top are the samples from our photographer, Rachel Johnson, who AGAIN was simply fantastic, and Trenton's sweet granny took the one below. 

Some highlights from the rest of the day were:

- Kevin's toast at the luncheon. 

• He put an actual piece of toast in the toaster which is something I told my mom I wanted at my wedding a while back and she was like "please no" and then I told Kevin and he was like, "Oh, yes". My brothers were a little miffed that Kevin did it because I'd told them I wanted that done BUT I love them so so much and don't want them to be sad but am still glad Kevin actually did the toast.
• When Kevin said, "Today I got to see my best friend marry his best friend" it hit me right in the feels and was beautiful.

-  Beyonce dance at the reception

• So Katie (MoH) and I were watching Beyonce videos in our apartment one day the week before the wedding and we watched the Love on Top video. We had the idea that we should learn the dance. We progressed the idea, saying we should do it at the wedding reception.
• This actually happened.
• Because I was at my awesome younger brother's graduation at 4 on Friday when the bridesmaids had decided to rehearse our number, I didn't actually learn the bulk of the choreography, so during the middle of the dance I made Trenton come up and dance.
• He was the best.

- Smashing the cake

• A while back Trenton and I had a conversation about not smashing the cake on each other.
• False. He put a little frosting on my nose. I may or may not have gotten cake all up on his forehead. 
• Also that cake was gorgeous and really really delicious.
• And that being said....I'm off for now. Time to eat some cake that's in my fridge. :)
