12.17.10

was the best day of our entire lives.

{ well, according to me. according to justin, it's been the wedding day and every day since..}

it really was perfect, from start to finish.

we had the pattee family over for breakfast and of course 2 hours before our wedding cermony justin struts in with the famous " baby blue suit" with the yellow bow tie.. he wore in high school. {ten years ago} my response when i saw him in the front door way with both of our families around: was "yes, this is why i'm marring this man!"

and then we were announced husband and wife, and sealed forever and ever. it was the most amazing thing we've ever experienced.

our families were happy too:)

another party:)

i'd have to say having both of these parties on the same weekend made my last weekend with justin in california a LOT of fun, i hardly noticed he was gone..

the only time with my crazy busy schedule we could do a shower was on saturday night. not very convenient for people, but i loved the intimate group that came. i was able to talk to everyone and enjoy the night. seriously, everyone spoiled me.

i love my families are forever clock
