Beginnings

A new family, a new blog!

I'm horrible at remembering to post so we'll see how this goes, but Chrisser really wanted me to start a blog for our family.  So I did.  Ta-da!

I guess this post will be all about (what else?) our wedding!  We got married on Dec. 14, 2012 in the Bountiful Utah LDS Temple.

We had some really great bridal photos taken the day before by Chrisser's sister, Sarah.  We took some at the Utah State Capitol and others at the Bountiful Temple.  Here are a few of my many favorites:

We had a lot of fun shooting them despite how cold it was outside.

The day of our wedding, we had the ceremony in the morning (Chrisser's grandfather was our sealer), a luncheon at my stake center in the afternoon, and a reception--also at my stake center--that evening.  Our colors were purple, silver, and white with kind of a "winter wonderland" theme.  Our refreshments included hot cocoa, sugar cookies, and cake pops.  Here are a couple detail shots from it:

It was a pretty perfect day in my opinion :)
The next day we headed to Moab for our honeymoon.  We stayed in a really cute guest house, went to Arches National Park, watched a bunch of movies, and just had fun being with each other.

After that we went to Virginia to spend the holidays with Chrisser's family, and we had another reception while we were there.

It was a crazy couple of weeks, but they were a lot of fun.  And that, in a nutshell, was our wedding!

Another note about my blog posts (besides how infrequent they are): they tend to be very picture heavy.  I have a really hard time blogging about something if I don't have pictures to go with it.  Probably because I have a hard time reading blog posts that don't have pictures.  So I hope the pics make it more interesting for you, too!
