Married for Time and Eternity

Saturday, September 5, 2009 we were married in the Bountiful, Utah temple at about 10 AM. What a wonderful experience for both of us! Heidi's grandpa, Weldon Thacker, sealed us. Our fathers were the witnesses.

Afterwards we had fun taking pictures with our awesome photographer, Jeff Haslam, and our amazing videographer, Sam Platt.

When we were done, we went to Heidi's church building for our luncheon and ate some good food. The reception that evening was so wonderful. There was music, a video, pictures, friends and family all around, good food, cake-cutting, bouquet-throwing, garter-removing/-launching, butterfly-releasing, and dancing to our songs. All in all we owe our parents and other family members so incredibly much for everything they did for us in preparation and help. We give them our greatest love and thanks.

Afterwards we went to the car to leave--or at least, to try to leave. Our car was decked out in a disgusting array of plastic wrap, whipped cream, cookies, and caramels. Inside was a mess of balloons and streamers. Once we finally got enough off to back out and get our things inside, we backed out and waved goodbye. After a long but absolutely wonderful day, we headed to Anniversary Inn and to the Italian Gondola Suite to commence our honeymoon!
