When I decided to totally rip off the love story idea from Emery Jo, I wrote all of the chapters before posting any of them. I did it that way because sometimes I’m a quitter, and I didn’t want to write 2-3 chapters and get stuck or bored and give up. I did pretty well until I got to The Wedding. That’s where I stopped. For two weeks I’ve been contemplating how I can share the story of my wedding day. I’ve decided that rather than write a big, long, boring testimonial of that special day, I’ll just share the photos and some brief wedding details. I honestly don’t think that my words can do it justice.

Details

The Day: It was a freezing, cold, rainy Friday. The skies cleared just long enough for us to go outside and take pictures. We were sooooooo cold, but we tricked you because we look warm, don’t we?

The Place: We were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple (pictured above).

The Photographer: Scotty’s aunt is a photographer, and she did all of our pictures for FREE! All we had to pay for were reprints and enlargements. Our wedding cake was also FREE, made by another one of Scotty’s fabulous aunts.

The Bride’s Maids: My best friends, Leelee and Michelle, and my sister, Anna.

The Groom’s Men: My brothers, Colt and Brock, and Scotty’s brothers, Kyle and Riley.

The Flower Girls: My cousin, Hope, and Scotty’s niece, Kaedyn.

The Car: Scotty’s brother was kind enough to gather up the garbage from our luncheon and dump it on our car. Very classy, Kyle.

The Music: My Polynesian neighbor approached my mom while I was planning my wedding and simply said, “I will be Brittany’s wedding DJ.” I had no choice, but how do you turn down a FREE wedding DJ? The song list included I Love Rock and Roll, I’m too Sexy, and Like a Virgin. I didn’t notice the music selection until I watched the home videos later.

The Honeymoon: Seven day Caribbean cruise.
