"And They Lived Happily Ever After!"

Every little girls dreams of her wedding day. What colors she will have, What her dress is going to be like, What the cake and flowers will be. Every detail of every moment is planned out since she was 7 years old. At least that is how I was! 

I had my dream wedding planned over and over again. Everything was going to be perfect. Nothing would go wrong and the groom would be eye candy for the ladies. 

And... that is exactly how my wedding was. Perfect. absolutely perfect. Don't get me wrong, things didn't go according to every detail I planned when I was 7, of course styles and colors change, But it was exactly what I had dreamed of as a little girl. I had the man of my dreams wrapped around my arm. Or more like I was wrapped around his arm. 

We were married in the most beautiful castles in all of the land, The Provo City Center Temple. Now most of you may know this story already but my guess is most of you don't so Ill give you the low key version. When I was little we would go to stake conference in the  Provo Tabernacle. In each of the four corners of the tabernacle there were beautiful, winding, green carpeted stairs. Oh how I loved those stairs! I know weird huh.. But I loved walking down those stairs and pretending I was marrying my knight in shinning armor. I would often tell my mom that I wanted to get married in that building, and she would remind me that it wasn't a Temple so I couldn't be married there. But that dream was still there and would never go away. 

When the tabernacle burned down I was devastated, SO many wonderful memories. SO many little girl dreams. But the greatest news ever came in General Conference 2011, President Thomas S. Monson announced that they would be rebuilding the tabernacle into a Temple. My little girl dreams become a reality! 

7 years later on January 12th 2018 I was married to the love of my life, Jared Jensen. It was the most beautiful day of my life. It literally was perfect. Nothing went wrong, Or I wasn't told anything was going wrong. My colors were perfect, My dress was perfect, and The flowers were gorgeous, But, in all honesty, None of that really mattered. What mattered most to me was that I was sealed for time and all eternity to my best friend. Someone who loves me for who I am and never judges. I am so in love and my life for Him and my Father in Heaven grows more and more each and everyday. I can't wait to see were our next chapter in life takes us. Our happily ever after is only beginning, And we only have eternity to go.
