Far Longer than Forever

Everyone thought Kyle and I were crazy for planning our wedding so quickly. But I simply did not want a wedding in any of the winter months, and we didn't want to wait until the spring. We thought Thanksgiving week was our best bet, since his sisters would be home from school, and my brothers would be out of school. I'm so thankful for my mother in law. She did SO much to put together an amazing day. Kyle's cousin Rachel had just recently gotten married, so she helped out a lot too.
The morning of the wedding I woke up bright and early to get ready. 5 am to be exact. Kyle picked me up so we could go to the temple together. That morning in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple, the love of my life and I were sealed for time and all eternity. We came out of the temple and took tons of pictures. Considering it was the end of November, we got really lucky with the weather. It was pretty windy, but it was sunny and beautiful. While Kyle and I were taking pictures of just the two of us, everyone else went to set up for lunch.
We invited everyone who was at the temple to a luncheon. It turned out to be one of my favorite parts of the day. We gave our guests the opportunity to get up and say something about Kyle and I. My bridesmaids and family had me to tears. And Kyle's groomsmen sang a song that was hilarious.
The reception turned out great. We didn't know how many people would be able to make it since it was the day before Thanksgiving, and they didn't have very much notice. We ended up having a great turnout. I got to see some friends I hadn't seen in a long time, and meet some very close friends and family of Kyle's family.
 The cake cutting, our first dance, the daddy daughter dance, the greeting line, our car being "decorated" was all so much fun. Our first dance was so special. For a moment it felt like we were the only ones in the room.
We have many people to thank for our amazing wedding day. It was truly the best day of my entire life. I can't wait to see what we have ahead of us in life.

We haven't gotten all of the pictures from our photographer yet, but the ones we have so far are wonderful. I also added some really cute ones taken by others!
