So... Tyler and I finally got married on August 8. We were so ready for it to be over the night before our wedding. It ended up being an amazing day. The rain was perfect timing. It started just as we were driving from Manti to Fairview for our luncheon. Luckily, the rain waited for us to finish our pictures before it poured. I don't have any pictures from our wedding yet. I got this one from Amber's blog. I'll post some more later.
Our reception turned out awesome. It was like a big party for me and Tyler. My Mom made it all happen. she did such an amazing job on the reception. She workerd her butt off for it. We got an awesome turn out. Tons of people came. We got some awesome presents too. I got this BOMB rice cooker from Jordie Omer and Janessa Christensen. Seriously. I think everyone should seriously consider buying one. It cooks the rice all by its lonesome. All you have to do is put rice and water in the bowl, close the lid and press, "white rice". It's that simple. Then in 20 minutes you have delicious white fluffy rice. We also got this sweet toaster that has an egg cooker on the side. I love it. I can make breakfast sandwiches with it. Oh and Tyler's aunt Kelly made us the most amazing quilt. I can't wait to use it on our bed after we move.

For our Honeymoon we went to Las Vegas because I really wanted to go there. Luckily Tyler's Dad lent us his air-conditioned car because neither mine nor Tyler's car has working air conditioning. We stayed in the Hilton Hotel on the south strip. It was pretty sweet. We had this amazing king bed that we could sprawl and not even hit each other. Then we came home from the honeymoon to a full sized bed. Not so roomy. Seriously though, who would have thought that the only reason Paris Hilton is famous is because her Grandfather was the founder of Hilton Hotels???

Anyways... Some highlights of our trip.

We went to M&M World which was Awesome Possum. They had such awesome stuff. They had everything you can imagine with M&Ms on it. I didn't get anything because Tyler told me I should save my money for something I actually really wanted. I never really found anything I really wanted, so I should have bought those green M&M earrings. Maybe next time.
Tyler and I heard that
Vegas Hotels have these huge amazing buffets with tons of food. We heard The Belagio was the best. So... We went to the Belagio to eat. There was a humongous line for the Buffet. We stood there for probably about an hour and a half to eat. Everyone was right about Las Vegas buffets being really elaborate. It wasn't as good as we thought it would be. They did have everything though. They had any kind of sea food you could think of, and this huge dessert bar which was the most alluring to me since I am a sugar Junkie. I ended up disappointed. It wasn't that great for looking so delectable. Tyler and I did hit up Planet Hollywood and we went to the Miracle Mile shops. It has excellent Shopping I might add. It was sweet. Tyler didn't have as much fun at the shopping times. I didn't get to shop as much as I wanted to. Tyler isn't much of a clothes shopper. He prefers electronics and media. Tyler did gamble for his first time. He lost $9.00 and won 35 cents. It was pretty cool. We kept the voucher instead of cashing it in for the whopping 35 cents. Being married is sweet. It's like we're little girls slumbering everynight.

Hey! Sorry I haven't responded until now. I had to erase your comment because my dad reads my blog and we haven't gotten him the bobble head yet so I didn't want him to find out. I can't remember the website you go to but if you google 'custom bobble heads' I'm pretty sure you will find it.

Looks like you had a fun Honeymoon! And I'm glad to hear the rain didn't cause too much problems.
