Our Wedding

On June 21, 2008, Joe and I were sealed in the San Diego Temple. It was the perfect day! I have waited 25 years for my dream wedding, and it finally came. It was everything I had hoped it would be. My mom did awesome in putting it all together. She definitely should be a wedding planner. My whole family was great! They all pitched in and gave me the perfect wedding. I am so blessed to have such a great family.

The reception was sooooooooooo fun! My dad and sister even surprised me when he started playing the trumpet while Jackie sang "Solamente Una Vez." It was beautiful. He never plays for us, so it was very special.

One of my favorite parts of the reception was the family dance. Of course, my aunt Mary had mentioned to me a week before the wedding about maybe doing a fun family dance for the wedding. And of course, I said no. I finally gave in and Jackie whipped up a fun, easy dance that we all can do (my mom finally had her "Music Machine" moment). Noah and Nana had solos in the dance and at the end, we had a soul train. It was awesome!!! I can't believe everyone in my family agreed to be in it (especially Uncle Joe). I think everyone enjoyed it.

It was great to see all are close family members and friends there. We are so lucky to have great people in our lives that love and support us.
