Let's start at the very beginning...

I was never one of those girls who dreamed of my wedding day, besides the fact that I wanted to have glass slippers, and if glass slippers weren't available, then I was wearing tenni shoes. Other than shoes, all I knew I wanted was a handsome man, and I wanted to marry him in a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Needless to say I didn't wear glass slippers, but Jeff and I shared a wedding I could have never dreamed up as a child.

Jeffrey and I were married on May 30th, 2009 in the Nauvoo, Illinois temple, just as the bell tower chimed the 11th hour. It was beautiful. Surrounded by friends and family, present in both body and spirit, we joined our lives and began our eternal journey together.
