I woke up at 4:45am to have my wonderful friend Cindy do my hair. I was out the door by 6:10am to run to Camarillo to pick up Doug. We were able to drive down to the temple together, which was so special. We were in the temple by 7:30am and sealed at 8:30am. We were so blessed to be able to have all of our families and everyone that means the most to us at the sealing(Sadly Valerie's husband Rob was not able to be there for the wedding because he was starting he residency in Texas-you were missed Rob!!).
We came out of the temple and right away started taking tons and tons of photos. Then we went to the Westlake Village Inn to take more pictures-they have beautiful grounds. It feels like your in a little Tuscan Village. Between taking pictures and reception we had a couple of hours to spare so we checked into our room there at the Westlake Village Inn. We were able to put our legs up and take a nap for a few hours.
We then headed to the Bell's house for the reception. We got there about an hour and half early so we could eat and take MORE pictures. The reception was amazing and everyone did a fantastic job that helped out and made it all possible. I was able to dance with my husband for the first time to Michael Buble's song Everything. At the end of the night Brother Christensen from Doug's home ward drove us away in his old hot rod car that was decorated with a sign on the back saying Just Married. It was the perfect day and ended the perfect way.
Your dress was gorgeous! You look so happy! Congrats!
