I LOVED my wedding

It has been two years and three months since my wedding day. Some people say once this much time after their wedding has gone by that they wish they would have changed something or another about that day. But I wouldn't change a thing. Not two years ago, not now, and I'll probably never feel like I wished it was different. It was perfect. Everything about it. Simply perfect. Our sealing was in the most beautiful temple that we now get to visit often. Our sealer was the absolute BEST sealer we could have ever asked for. The most important part of the whole day (and our whole lives) was made even better by such an inspiring, spiritually in tune, loving man. It was so special. I'll never forget it. And after the BEST morning ever I had the BEST evening ever at our reception. Wow... my parents REALLY outdid themselves. I still can't get over how many times I heard, "Hillary, would you rather have 'this' or 'that'?" or "what would make you most happy??" They were so SO awesome! I was so amazed by their generosity and complete love. My parents are so cool. And they certainly made my reception the talk of the town. :) Here are some pictures from one of the most fabulous days in my memory:
It was so nice to not be one of those brides who was completely tired after getting up at 4am in the morning. The temple was SO close so I didn't have to! What a great idea it was to get married there! Because, you know... the LA temple was closed (where I originally wanted to get married), and so the San Diego temple was where we were going to get married. We had the invitations printed and everything. But then I got a call from my sister that changed everything. And I'm so glad she called. Yep, thanks Heather. She talked some sense into me and I in turn talked some sense into Josh... which wasn't hard because his goal then and now has always been to make me happy.

We had a fantastic photographer! The fantastic-ness was mostly because she seemed to be able to capture everything exactly how I remembered it. And she was so creative and fun. We totally felt comfortable around her. We were SO LUCKY!

"The Tunnel of Love" as some of the guests affectionately called the entrance to the reception.

Chocolate covered strawberries. OH SO GOOD. And also pretty.

I think the high light for me at the reception was the beauty of the flowers! Wow. So classic! My bouquet was probably my favorite. It only became me favorite, though, after my mom saw a little glimpse of disappointment in my eyes after seeing the finished product. I didn't say anything about it either because I knew they were doing SO much for me and trying to make everything perfect. But she saw it in me and she jumped right on it and added some flowers to my bouquet that made ALL the difference! My special bouquet went from being pretty to GORGEOUS in a matter of minutes. All because of my mom.

Ok... how lucky am I to have a massively talented cake maker of a grandma! It was SO BEAUTIFUL!

Oh yes, more of the lovely flowers. I just loved them so much!

I thought and still think that my parents are the coolest for coming up with this design. FLOATING FLOWERS above the table area! It was so cool.

What a perfect day. Thanks for reliving this with me! It was SO FUN.
Can you tell it makes me happy???
