Marriage License

The other day Matt & I drove downtown to the courthouse and got our Marriage Certificate. It took approximately 3 minutes to fill out the paperwork and we were on our way. When people said it was easy to get married in Nevada they meant it. It's almost like McDonalds!

Here is a pic of Matt & I (we look so beautiful...not!!) on our way to the courthouse.

Bridal Shower in Sparks

I apologize for being so lazy...I mean so busy... that we haven't posted.

I had my bridal shower here in Sparks on May 31st, hosted by one of my best friends, Janelle Baclayon and her mom, Linda Corbridge. We also had a lot of help from Andrea Corbridge and Julie Marchant, and my future nieces, Megan, Jessica, and Jocelyn.

Thank you all who were able to come! It was so much fun getting together to eat, play games, open gifts, socialize and of course to laugh.

Bridal Shower in St. George

I want to thank all of you who were able to come to the Bridal Shower in St. George. I had a lot of fun and got a lot of great Pampered Chef products, Matt & I can't wait to start cooking with them.

It was also great to meet new family and friends, you made me feel right at home. I know some of you drove quite a while to be there, and I appreciate it. A special thanks to Linda, Amberly and Star for hosting the shower.

{Our Story}

Many of you may wonder just how Matt & I met and hooked up quick enough to get engaged 51 days after our first date....so I will tell you :)

About 3 years ago Matt & I met at a Singles Ward BBQ. He was the first guy I saw when I got there and after observing him for about 5 mins I had decided I could marry him...weird huh, well here's the story.

When I was 14 my aunt and uncle were sealed in the Reno Temple, while I was waiting outside I saw this very cute boy with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a football build. I decided he was my "soul mate" and I was going to marry him even though I had never met him and was too scared to talk to him. A few months passed and it was time for my 4th Year Hike at Girls Camp. While I was braiding my friends hair a thought came to me....I'm going to marry a boy named Matt! So of course I told all of my friends and we decided to name the boy at the Temple, Matt Temple. Eventually all of my friends came up with a "Temple" name, the name of the boy they were going to marry. So far 3 out of the 5 are married and no one has married their "Temple" name. And now I am!

So I knew I could marry Matt...but he didn't talk to me and I was going back to BYU-Idaho a few weeks later. Between semesters I would see Matt but we were each dating other people, until I came back from doing an internship in Palmyra, NY. We met again at a Ward game night...I wore this sweet shirt dress (ask Matt about that one) and he invited me to see a movie the next day...then FHE...then dinner...then a date...then a ring...then marriage! So you see we were meant to be!
