Becoming A Mrs.

WARNING: This Post Might Be Extremely Long.

I am now Mrs. Hill.
Well, not legally. But according to church records I am!
Kellen and I got married almost a month ago! A month! I can't believe it's already been that long!! The wedding day was beautiful, especially the temple! The officiant said beautiful words that really touched my heart and made it an even more special day. He said things that confirmed that Danny, along with other loved ones that have passed away, were in the room with us. I felt their presence as strongly as everyone else in the room. It was amazing.
But like all wedding days, mine was not perfect. I had a friend who is really creative and amazing do my flowers. She told me she would have my flowers there for me for when I walked out of the temple so they could be in pictures. Well, needless to say, that didn't happen. She was late and made 2 of my very best friends (And bridesmaids) miss mine and Kellen's "Grand Exit" out of the temple. It made me sad because A. I wanted my flowers for when I walked out, and B. because I wish my friends could have been there. They probably didn't show up with the flowers for at least 10 minutes after we got outside. When I saw the finished products of my flowers though, I ended up not being too mad because they were absolutely GORGEOUS, but I was still a little disappointed.
After the temple and all the millions of pictures we took, me and Kellen were starving so we went to Taco Bell. (I changed out of my dress, don't worry) Then, as soon as we got to my parents house, we had just enough time to fill my mom's car with pictures and display things and head right over to the reception center, which was Magnolia Grove.
Let me just tell you my fairy tale story real quick. When I was younger, I thought this reception center was a Mansion. I told my mom that I wanted to live there when I was older. But she would say "Honey, that is a reception center." Ever since then, I have wanted my reception there, since I couldn't live in it. We researched it for fun a while ago (maybe even years ago) and it was definitely NOT in our price range, so I got sad. Then when we were looking at reception centers for real, I was getting discouraged because I didn't love any of the places we looked at. I LIKED them, but they didn't have the "feel" I wanted for my wedding. Then on one of my very rare moody days, my mom called me and said she looked at Magnolia Grove again and they were actually very reasonable. We went there for a tour, I fell in love, and the rest is history! So, my fairy tale turned into a reality and I had my dream reception center! Too bad more things went wrong that night though...
We got to Magnolia Grove before 5:30. Our reception was to start at 6:30. My cake was supposed to be there around 5:30, same with the rest of my flowers (groomsmen bouts, Fathers bouts, guest book arrangement, etc...) We ended up taking pictures until about 6:40, my cake was still nowhere to be found and my flowers showed up around 6:30. None of the guys in the bridal party had their cute little bouts in any of the pictures. It made me mad, but I chose not to worry about it because, really, it isn't that big of a deal. KNEADERS (all caps for a reason, for you to remember it) completely forgot about my cake order. I had ordered the most gorgeous cake I have ever seen. I was even told by the baker herself that she had just done a cake like that a few months before my wedding. She was very fun and easy to work with. But somehow my cake went forgotten and I had to use a display cake from Schmidts. I'm grateful for them giving us a display cake, but it was an ugly one... =] Anyways, Kneaders showed up at around 7:30 with something they just "threw together". Ok, this cake was pretty. I have to give them some credit because it was a nice cake for the little time they had to put it together, but WHO FORGETS ABOUT A WEDDING CAKE???? Isn't that like the most important part of the reception??? That's how I feel, anyways.
Ok, enough venting. The wedding day really was beautiful and everything I wanted. Even though some things went wrong, I was still married to my best friend at the end of the day and that is all that mattered.

(Now for the lovey, mushy stuff) I'm very grateful and lucky to have Kellen as my Husband. He is truly the best person I know. He makes me laugh when I'm in a bad mood and makes me feel like a princess. He knows how to speak my language and just takes words right out of my mouth. He knows my strengths and helps me with my weaknesses. He's silly, ambitious, motivated, frugal (which is good for me!), HOT, and everything I could ever want as my Eternal Companion. I love him with all my heart and can't wait for the rest of our journey together!
