What's On My Happy List?

Wedding Day!

Still wait'in to get all the photos back 

from the wedding photographer...

She did send us

a few for a sneak peek 

AND we have some

random ones from i-phones 

so I'll post what I got.....

😌

10:30 AM...

head'in to the Temple to get hitched!

Btw...

The Payson Temple is sooo beautiful!...

The circular ottoman in the bride's room...

😍

from a castle,

AND the most expensive item in the temple...

so we were told.

😉

This was one of Kyleigh's favorite

moments of the day...walking out

of the Temple and seeing her people

all lined up looking fabulous!!!! 

her cathedral length veil glittered 

with rhinestones... 

THE FLOWERS....

oh my!

😍

I will never get over how 

magnificent the flowers were.

Her florist is an absolute gem.

The entire bridal party...

{can't wait for better pics of all that.}  

It was an impressive sight.

17 bridesmaids and 11 groomsmen/bridesmen.

Was supposed to be 13 on the latter, but two of 

Kyleigh's guy friends couldn't make

it from Ohio and Virginia. 

So they were honorary. haha 

Two of Kyleigh's friends flew in from Oregon 

JUST to be there for the sealing...   

then they had to fly out after wards 

for a Conference.

Kyleigh has some amazing, 

supportive friends.

THIS pic below of all my girls

just tickles me to death.

They all looked so so beautiful.

Can't wait for the professional 

family pics. 

I have none of ALL of us yet.

Ugh.

We thought Kyleigh looked like a 

medieval princess.

😍

Fun detail...Her crown was made 

by the designer who did the crowns 

for Downton Abbey. 

SAY WHAT?? 😮

Also, I can not give 

enough praise to the bridal shop

{Malmrose Bridal} where we purchased

her dress, veil and crown. 

Mary, the owner, is fabulous!

Kyleigh's dress was hot off the 

press when we found it.  It had just come 

into the shop by the Spain bridal designer

Rima Lav.

Next on the agenda was 

the wedding luncheon...

held at Clarion Gardens.

Emmsie and I made this display

for the guest seating. Even the 

gold wax seals had a C engraved in them. 

😌

{Magic is in the details...You'll find hints of 

food, music and decor inspiration from 

Kyleigh's favorite movie "The Count of Monte Cristo" 

and her and Tyler's Disney song...Beauty and the Beast"}

All the other girls have their Disney song picked out 

for their future wedding. Hope their guys agree. haha

The catering at Clarion Gardens was superb. 

I wish I had pics of THE SOUPS too.

They were heavenly.

I'm still thinking about the dessert!

Hannah put their cute video together

to display at the luncheon and reception.

Then it was off to the castle for the 

ring ceremony and reception.

The ring ceremony...gah!!!!

One of my favorite moments for sure

...the procession was a beautiful sight.

The bridal party entrance and exit

music was from Jane Austen's 

Sense 'n Sensibility soundtrack.

My nephews...the ring bearers!

My handsome hubby walked her down the aisle 

to the song...My Father's Favourite...

also from Sense 'n Sensibility.

😭

The evening festivities continued

with the reception...

THE CAKE!

Was stunning...

the baker adorable. 

The food!!!...

Marvellous Catering catered the reception.

They were absolutely wonderful too...

Gourmet Grilled Cheese options 

were served with sparkling grape juice...

along with a mini dessert bar of 

Hot Fudge Puddings, lemon bars, apple crisp,

banana shooters, white chocolate raspberry, 

AND biscoff cake!

Guests signed the 

castle canvas Brie painted for them.

Guests could also get a photo by 

the lit up "you're my favorite" 

sign..

And we had free carriage rides

for anyone that wanted one!

The hubs and I went off in a carriage

on our wedding night, we gifted that

to Kyleigh and Tyler, and it was our 

gift to the guests. 

This was a sweet moment.

Kyleigh dancing with the Poppi

to Frank Sinatra's

"The Way You Look Tonight"

The bride and groom's first dance....

was to Captain America & Peggy's

Avenger's-End Game final song...

 "It's Been A Long Long Time"

1940's vibe....it was lovely.

{They had old classic love songs

playing like that throughout the reception.}

Before the night ended,

 one of the groomsmen serenaded 

the couple with a trumpet solo

to their "first dance" song. 

My gosh!

Honestly, one of my favorite moments. 

He is a wicked good trumpet player.

Throwing the bouquet

from the upper balcony...

Firework sendoff...

Then they went off in the carriage.

It was all pretty magical. 

Whoa! 

What a day it was. 

I was so so grateful for every single

human that showed up to celebrate

the day with us. 

I held it together quite nicely

the entire day.

However, the day after I was 

a complete mess.

Here is proof!

😭😂

We all were trying to recover...

even Emmsie's puffy eye lids...

Goodness...If you could only see my lists...

I have a list of all my favorite, 

beautiful moments

of the day...

BUT also one of all the things that went South...

and what we would do different next wedding!

hahaha

There were plenty

of hiccups...

nail in tire, ripped dress, sickness, 

just to name a few.

I have stories.

#1 take away....

DOES NOT MATTER how much you 

plan and plan 

and try to 

think of every detail... 

something is bound to go awry. 

And honestly, we knew that beforehand, but gosh

it still left me a bit surprised.

😅

Thank goodness only those of us 

behind the scenes 

knew about the craziness.

In Kyleigh's words...It was a magnificent day! 

and IT WAS!

P.S. I finally have a son.....in-law! HA!

Oh, and lastly, Hannah made this cute video of 

our time at the bridal shoot.

{We gonna miss all this wedding hoopla.} 

If you want to see more wedding photos go to

my Facebook page where I posted a 8 minute video

full of pics. 

It was too long to post here. haha
