3 Months Ago Today...




I went to the temple and married the best man I know. He is so kind and good to me. He is so patient and supportive. I feel so blessed.



It was such a happy day with family. That's all I really wanted, to have all my family there (we missed you Nate). My family worked so hard to make this special for me. I will never really be able to thank them enough.


My mom made all the food. And it was amazing. She even made my wedding cake. Rebecca was in charge all week of keeping us
on schedule and getting things done. She is an angel. Rachel made my bouquet and it was literally the most beautiful bouquet I have ever seen.


My parents drove me to the temple in the morning. My dad joked that I needed to roll down the window and wave to all my fans lined up. My mom told
me to pretend we were riding in a glass carriage.
I'm glad they understand my love of all things royal. It probably helped that the royal wedding had just happened....

Greg showed up just in time for the sealing after working into the morning so he could make it. I almost cried from happiness.

The reception was so much more than I could have dreamed of. Classic oldies played all night. My dad had dug a hole in the middle of our lawn and constructed the white light tent I have always wanted. He was outside the night before until late with my uncles and brothers and they were all making sure that it looked just right. The lights were beautiful and made everything look so romantic and festive.

I was able to dance with my dad to the song "The House That Built Me." I thought this was very appropriate because we were dancing on the lawn
of the house that has literally built me. He and my mom created a home t
hat has shaped each of us kids and holds all our memories. It was a very sweet and emotional moment for me. My dad is a giant of a man and Troy and I hope to be able to do for our kids what he and my mom have done for us.

We had a fun dance party with our families. The Jennings sure know
how to make things exciting! It was so fun to be out there with our siblings and friends.
When we left we walked through bubbles and my dad let us take his nice car. It was such a fun party that neither one of us really wanted to leave!

The day was unforgettable. There were so many sweet moments at the ceremony and the reception that neither one of us will forget and we will cherish forever. Thank you to all who worked so hard to make this so special for us. I love that we were surrounded by all our family all day. We wouldn't have had it any other way.
