The "Big" Day - The temple



More often than not moments in life are better than you could have ever imagined, that is true of my wedding day.


We awoke early to go and decorate the gym where we were going to have our family dinner, now since I am no decorator I relied heavily on my mom and brother....thank goodness for them! They made everything look spectacular!

After trying to get beautified, off to the temple I went. Jon and I didn't have to think twice about which temple we wanted to get married in; Cardston Alberta. As we were both growing up this was the only temple in our respective areas and we both grew to love it. It was the perfect place to make those sacred covanents. My mom and I arrived before Jon did and those few moments waiting for him went by so very slow, even so I had no doubt that he would show.


The ceremony was beautiful, tears were shed, hearts were knit, loved expressed. What more can a girl ask for? Other than the actual ceremony my most favourite moment was being able to look back at my mom standing in the bridal suite knowing that because of her example and teachings that I was able to stand in the House of the Lord and be sealed to Jon. It was truly an amazing experience.
