It's Wednesday of Wedding Week!  Looking through all of these pictures is making me nostalgic...it is also motivation to shed the baby weight.  So without further ado, please enjoy these photos which are a true testament of the love we felt that day.

Since I started this blog when I was pregnant with Gretchen, I never got the chance to recap our wedding.  I decided this week would be the best since our 1 year anniversary is coming up on Friday.  I can't believe just one year ago today I was frantically trying to figure out last minute details for our reception - although by this time I had refused to make any decisions. We were on a tight budget and pretty much did everything for our wedding DIY style and I was stressed to say the least.

I give Pinterest credit for how our reception turned out.  A DIY wedding was very time consuming.  I think for 5 months straight Dave and I were either scouring Craigslist, painting, crafting, or planning what was next.  We had so much fun though because we got to bond with our family and friends who helped us out and it would not be possible without them.  Here is to remembering how our hard work paid off.

It's wedding week on the blog!  I cannot believe that this Friday will be a year since David and I were sealed in the Vancouver BC temple.

Before David proposed, he of course asked my dad for permission.  As a joke, he borrowed a goat from some random person selling goats on Craigslist and presented it to my dad.  Apparently I am only worth one goat :(




David proposed to me on March 11, 2012 - the day before my birthday.  We had a beautiful candle lit dinner (steak...yummm!!!) and he hid the ring in the dessert.  He wrapped the box in plastic so it wouldn't get all nasty and when I hit it with my spoon of course I had mistaken it for chocolate!





Just reminiscing through our engagement photos today which were taken over a year ago by the wonderfully talented Chelsie Lilja (Lilja Photography).  I can't believe how much our lives have changed since then.  I continue to fall more in love with David everyday and cannot wait to see what the future holds for us.
