Love me like you do : { C and N: The Wedding }

I've been stuck in bed all day, not feeling great so it's the perfect time to write about our wedding day and share our wedding day photos. The whole day flew by so quickly, which makes me so glad that we have the pictures and videos to help us relive the day. I remember getting in the car, with my new husband at the end of the night and saying to him that I felt like I spent 9 months planning every detail and then, hardly got to enjoy it! You run around all day, getting ready, setting up, and then, the whole night is a blur! You are so busy greeting your guests, eating cake, smiling so hard your cheeks hurt, dancing with your bridesmaids.....and all of a sudden, you're walking through a tunnel of sparklers and it's OVER! You're waving goodbye, wishing it would have lasted a little bit longer.

Despite the night flying by, everything did come together just as I had imagined and hoped it would. From my amazing bouquet and floral arrangements by Maeflower Designs to the food by BYU Catering, and my cake by Natalie Ward Gray, everything was perfect. My dream wedding with my dream man.

The weather was a little cool and we had a few sprinkles, so we did have to have our ceremony inside. We got lucky and were able to take pictures outside before and after the ceremony. I really wanted to get married outside but, the building we used was beautiful. The ceremony was performed by my long-time family friend, Scott Reese, who is currently serving as Bishop of my old singles ward in California. He flew out to be there and that was so special for me to have him be the one to marry us.

Overall, I feel so incredibly blessed that the day went smoothly. (unlike our Ca reception, where EVERYTHING went wrong! thats my next post!)

Cole and I cant thank our families and friends enough, those who traveled to be there that day with us and for all the help we received. I cant believe how lucky I am to have this man by my side forever. I feel so happy that he chose me to be his wife. I know through the ups and downs this life will throw us, that he will be there through it with me. I cant wait to see what our future holds. enjoy! xxo Natalie

Ps I'll post more pics on FB, too. These are just the favs.
