Married Life

So I'm married... It's great. We were married on October 15th in the San Antonio temple. It was amazing! We were married by President Woods, the temple president, and had tons of family and friends there with us. Our sealing was supposed to start at 5, but for some reason it started a little later I think. Because it was earlier we spent I think more time than usual in the Celestial Room together just the two of us (well and the temple worker, but she was so quiet we didn't even notice her!). We spent most of it just talking about out future and how crazy it was that it was finally here! We loved it. I will cherish that time with him forever. When we were sealed it was nice seeing everyone there to support us.

In lieu of telling you every little detail I'll post some pictures and explain what they are along the way... :)


Here's a picture of the two of us outside the temple... kissing. Typical huh?



This is my bouquet. I found this idea on a website that sent me a daily idea email. Some of these brooches came from ebay or other stores around town, but others were from my mom, grandma, great-grandma, and great aunt. The one right up front that is in a diamond shape is my mom's favorite. I loved having this and bringing in things from family members. Thanks to my Jonathan, Jeanette, Tami, and Karris for helping put together and finish his. It was fun, but by the end of it, I was tired of making it, and was glad for the help.

 

Walking out of the temple for the first time! 

Here is everyone who was at the temple with us. Isn't it fun???

Rusty and I with my sisters. We couldn't get a serious picture of all of us. 

Dad, Mom, Me, and Rusty

Rusty and I with his parents.

Uncle Lee, Aunt Tami, Me, Rusty, Aunt Teresa, and Uncle Alan. They came all the way from Arizona to share our day with us! We were SOOOO excited to have them there!

Sisters! Tami and Mom. I love this picture!

Karren Guymon, Mom, Me and Rusty. My middle name Karen is from this wonderful woman!

All my siblings and Rusty and I. It was great having everyone there! 

The bouquet again... I really love it...

Us... :)

I didn't think about a boutonniere for Rusty until about 2 weeks before and again on the same website found the idea to have him wear a brooch. So I found this on ebay and he was a sport and wore it! It's very nice though! 

Our rings. I don't have a band since the ring has designs and diamonds on all sides, and he picked his out. It is a really pretty/handsome ring. I love how they look together!

Rusty and I with my brothers. Aren't they all handsome men???

So we broke the wedding up into 2 days. We were married on Friday and had the reception on Saturday. Can I just tell you that I would suggest this to ANYONE who is getting married. It was nice to have time to breath before the reception. It felt like everyone was more relaxed and got to spend more time with each other.  So here are some pictures from the reception on Saturday.

So I had to make this one bigger so you could see it all. This is EVERYONE! Mom and Dad, ALL the Nicholas kids with their spouses and children. There are 41 in here with Judith's fiance and his daughter. Isn't this fun?? As you can imagine, when we all get together it is a ton of fun! 

I'll have to upload more later since Blogspot is uploading my other pictures funny. I promise to get more of the reception on here soon once I figure out what is going on. (Lori, I PROMISE!)
