I thought my toes were going to fall from taking bridal pictures in 33 degree weather (That is cold in Arizona I promise!!) but I didn't care. It felt like this day would never come and I had been waiting for it for months and now it was finally here! I will never forget walking up to the love of my life with his back turned as my heart pounded with excitement. He turned around and his reaction was priceless. We continued to take pictures for an hour or so and I could not believe I would be getting married to my best friend in one hour.
In my religion, we believe marriage is meant to last forever, for all of time and eternity. You are able to participate in a sealing that binds you and your spouse and God. You make promises with God in a very sacred building called a temple and it is the House of the Lord. What takes place inside is very sacred and that is why everyone can't go inside and none of it can be photographed. I will say though, being sealed to my best friend was the most amazing experience I will never forget. To experience feeling that because of the decisions you made together, you have made it and are able to have the approval and blessing from Heavenly Father on your marriage is amazing. It doesn't mean its all smooth sailing from there and our lives are perfect. It just meant because we knew our love was going to last forever, we were going to treat it different. The rest of the day was filled with joy and laughter and was spent with family and friends. It was all so surreal and it was crazy being how young I was that I was starting my own life! All of the butterflies, the blissful happy feelings; I never wanted it to end. Thank goodness for pictures to look back and relive all of those precious memories. Huge shout out to Erin Householder Photography for our engagement pictures and David Palmer Photography for our wedding pictures!! I couldn’t have imagined anything better and more beautiful! I cannot imagine my life without Sean. We have been through so much together in the past two years and I cannot imagine anyone different to spend my life with. I love that we are best friends and companions. We love car trips because we can just get away and jam out to music but usually just end up turning it off and talking the whole entire trip. We are the type of couple that comments on things during movies and shows we watch together (that's probably why we never go to the theater... haha). He has always believed in me, even when nobody did. With his help and faith in me, my dream to be a photographer is becoming a reality. He was there to hold my hand for all of the tests, needle pricks, bad news, and scary times while we had our journey in the hospital. He already is the best Dad and works so hard at a job he dreads going to just to provide for our little family. These last two years have been such an amazing and crazy ride and I can't wait to see what our future holds. Love you babe!! :)
