13 November 2010 = Wedding

So again this is late, but as of the date above I have been officially married for time and all eternity to my love Brett Jaque Francis. We were married in the Salt Lake Temple that morning. We had been hoping for a nice sunny day, but instead we got a somewhat cold and rather wet one. However we still had fun.

As we were walking around the temple grounds getting some pictures we were all freezing and happened across a vent that blew hot air just outside the temple, so needless to say we were huddled there for a little while in hopes of warming up. We had to leave the warm spot a little too soon for me but it all worked out. Once all our pictures were taken we went to go change so that we could go to lunch, but apparently my parents didn't see us head inside and as my mom had my key to my locker so Brett had to go back outside to the cold to find her so that we could leave.

The food at the luncheon was amazing! Instead of the normal tapping of glasses to get us to kiss however they had little bells that they would ring. It was fun and looked really good, and we had to kiss a couple of times of course.

The reception that night turned out beautifully. It was exactly as I pictured it would be and actually didn't seem near as long as i thought it would. We had fun cutting the cake, and dancing together as well as me with my dad. We stood in line for a long time and met lots of people that we knew and didn't know. We did a boquet throw, which my roommate Angela caught to the disappointment of my sister. Afterward we did the garter toss, which Brett pulled off with his teeth first then his nephew Jeff who is eleven caught. We unfortunately didn't get any of our own refreshments (rootbeer floats) but we heard they were good.

When the time came to 8pm Brett and I made a quick escape out of the reception. We discovered our car to be decorated with window stickers and wrapped in plasic wrap. I suppose you could say that we cheated in getting it off though because we borrowed a pocket knife and cut through all the layers then just pulled it off. I'm glad that it wasn't decorated too badly though, that was probably partially cause the rain, but we were honestly worried about it a bit, so we were glad it wasn't too bad.

Overall the day was an amazing success and we loved every moment of it. Thankyou all who helped and came and shared this special time with us. :)

So I realize that this is a little late in coming.. but i've been busy. However I still wanted to share some pictures with you from my bridal session. I had a photographer named Angela come and take them for me. We took them at the Joseph Smith Memorial building in Salt Lake City and a few over around the temple grounds.

It was a beautiful day and actually rather warm, which was surprising with it being November. It made me hopeful that my wedding would be as nice. Here are a few to give you an idea, hope you enjoy. :)

Home... for now.

So Brett and I found an apartment finally and have been slowly moving things into it. It is becoming more like a home every day as we add more things to it little by little. It's not much but it will do.

Our favorite part of it of course is our lovely old school brown couch, quickly followed by the toilet in the middle of the bathroom, the dryer in the closet and of course the cracked and peeling paint on the walls and ceilings.

Its a little place in the basement of an old house but considering everything we believe we got a pretty good deal overall.

Although the pictures aren't that many or that great it gives you a good idea. We also have a couch in our entryway. As it turned out it just couldn't quite make it through the second door to the living room and so is stuck in the entryway... but i suppose it keeps us from having to find a bench or something instead so it all works out.

This will be our home for now, but eventually we hope to get something better, but for now it will do. :)
