Dude, if you keep nagging me, I’m going to have to buy you a ring.

Alright, I am going to warn you right now that I am going to brag about our reception. I feel justified in this because I did about 20% of the preparations, and I feel I wouldn't do justice to the work my parents and sisters did if I didn't brag. I'm telling you what, they should open their own wedding planning company. They would make millions! From the bouquet and  boutineer, to the lights everywhere (including all the mason jar lanterns that my mom created), to the gorgeous gazebo with custom-sewn curtains, to the perfectly crafted tablecloths and centerpieces, to the beautifully decorated entry way, and the awesome old projector hooked up by the hidden computer to get the full rustic feel. That's just naming a few things that happened to make our special night simply magical. Here are some pictures from our reception that do not give it nearly enough credit:

You have to tell me why were committing a felony before we do it. Not that that’s going to stop us, but at least I’ll have all the facts.

We finally made it to our wedding day! Being engaged feels like it lasts forever! We were so blessed to share our special day with so many loving and supportive people. The weather was perfect, the sealing was amazing, and the luncheon food was spectacular! We couldn't have asked for a better day, or better company. Here's some pictures:

I’m going to be unemployed. A very attractive asset on the dating scene. You know, we have our own little section at Match.com.

After having to get the ring fixed twice, we had it ready to go just in time for bridals. We love how our bridals turned out! We got them done by Hayley Bradshaw down in St. George. Her website is hayleybradshaw.com if you like her stuff and want more info. She was amazing! She was so easy going and accommodating. Also, I should give a shout out to my sister Whit for doing my hair, and my mom for letting me borrow her chair. Anyway, enough chit-chat. Here are the goods:

I just had a Moonpie and a Ding-Dong, and washed it down with and Orange Crush in the cafeteria, I have no desire for anything nutritional.

I have officially had my first bridal shower.  My sweet roommate Bre, with the help of my other roommates, threw me the best little bash ever.  It was so fun to see everyone; my mom even came up for it!  I still can't believe how spoiled I was that night.  It was like having a birthday party when you are 5 and everyone brings you the best gifts ever!  Here are some pictures from that fun night:

 My dad's side of the family: Grandma, Aunt Kim, Aunt Lis, and my cousin Camille

 My mom's side of the family: Aunt Angie, Aunt Libby, grandma, and my mom

 My roommates: Kenze, Bre, Whitney, and former roommate Tina

 My future sisters-in-law: Brittany and Kristine with cute Emma

 Former roommate Marian

 Erica and Emily

Neighborhood friends: Whitney, Rachel, Mikell, Lisa, Lizzie, Kaylene, Bre, and Morgan

Time is pressing. I have a ten pound salami sitting out in the van.

The wedding plans are coming along.  The announcements have been sent to the printer, engagements and bridals have been taken, the guest book has been ordered and is in the processes of being created, and much more.  The most exciting event that has happened as of late (for Jeremy and I, that is), is that we now have a place to live!  We are really excited about our new place.  It is 3 bed, 2 bath, and it is in a great location.  When we finally start getting things moved in I will take some pictures for you.  In the meantime, here are some engagement pictures taken by Heidi Brinkerhoff:
