Jacob and I were married on December 27, 2006 in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. It was a cold, snowy December afternoon, but we were too excited to care! We had so many family members and friends come to support us, even though it was at least a 3 and a half hour drive for almost everyone. Some of Jacob's extended family drove even further. We felt so blessed and loved to have them there.

It was so cold and wet that day, that we couldn't
take pictures outside. So we decided to take pictures
inside the Joseph Smith History building next to the temple.

I thought this picture was fun showing
my dad as our photographer. I feel
so blessed to have such a talented
and creative father.

I love the "behind the scenes" photos
because I feel like they tell a story
of their own.

Every bride needs a dress fixer
The JSH building and temple square are unbelievably gorgeous around Christmas. You'll never see so many Christmas lights. The night before the wedding we got to walk around temple square and just enjoy its beauty. We didn't take any pictures that night, but here are a couple of pictures of Temple Square that I found online.
The Reception
Instead of having people sign a guest book for our wedding,
we had them sign the mat of the engagement photo that my dad took.
It now hangs in our house, and it's fun to look at it every so often and read
what people wrote.

We had our reception at the White House in Twin Falls.
I loved the three-tiered cake with the Christmas wreathes in between.
Every good reception has food!

We wanted to have a dance after the wedding, but greeting our guests took over 2 hours.
So, Jacob and I just danced after it was all over, with only a few people around. We still had fun.

We received so many generous and amazing gifts from people.

After the wedding reception, we headed off to our honeymoon. Being the poor college students that we were, we honeymooned in Bend, Oregon. We rented a house, went ice-skating, shopping, ate at fun restaurants, and got to have a romantic and fun stay that still had the lingering feeling of the Holidays. It was wonderful!
