Reception

Our reception was outside at the Pope Gardens in Orem. It was so much fun and the weather was perfect. The sister-in-laws helped make these centerpieces and we have this one on our wall in our bedroom.
Our cake was in three sections which looked so beautiful. Our flowers were these hydrangea in centerpieces and cake.

We didn't go over if we were going to shove cake or just feed eachother cake. We definitely went for the "shove" and I got Chris good hahahahhaUs cutting the cake
Father of the bride!!! We took a picture like the movie cover of "Father of the Bride". I'm definitely a daddy's girl but my dad know that Chris was perfect for me :)
Our car got destroyed! M&Ms, Oreos, Chocolate Syrup, plastic wrap, whip cream

Our exit was with sparklers. It was an awesome ending to our reception and beginning of our honeymoon.

The luncheon roast, I mean toast

So for our luncheon we went to the top floor of the Lion House which was so much fun! We had some great food and then speeches by family.

Chris' brothers do something that's different from a toast to the bride and groom... but a ROAST where they go up and embarrass the groom hahah it was funny.

Whitney gave My Little Ponies because apparently Chris had asked for them when he was younger and his brothers have made of his manliness because of this. Aaron gave us a step-ladder helping Chris' bad back so I could walk up and give him hugs (because I'm short and it will hurt Chris' back to bend over). Cam showed a picture of Chris as "Michael Jordan" where Chris painted himself black for Halloween one year.

Jeff gave Chris a bronze speedo which is hilarous. This wasn't Chris', but Jeff made it to represent the swimsuit he wore when we first met... which was at a hottub and he ended up getting towed (I drove him to his car). Brandon gave us a gold helmet which I can't remember the full story, and green tights where Chris did some cool powder-puff dance in high school and all the guys wore tights hahah.

Wedding Hair at 5:45am

Brittany did an amazing job with my hair. To get it done on time I woke up at 5:15am to get to her salon at 5:45am. It wasn't hard getting up at all because I was so excited and ready to get married to Chris!!!!

She helped me with my hair and nails and it turned out beautiful with loose curles in a side up-do.

Added hairpiece which I found at 9pm the night before we got married.

Making my wedding bouquet

My wedding bouquet turned out just the way I wanted. I ended up using:

* very light pink roses
* white roses
* green hydrangea
* lemon leaf
* white lisianthus

I loved taking floral and landscaping classes at BYU, then working at a floral spot, and doing floral arrangements for friends and family.


I used 50-60 flowers in my bouquet. It turned out beautiful!


I wrapped the flowers in the same fabric as my dress (there were extras from hemming it). I loved how it shined with all the crystals and beading.

I loved the size of the bouquet, it ended up being huge.

Finally Blogging about the Wedding!

So we've been married over a month now! It seems so crazy, but we are so happy and are having fun putting our lives together. We have a cute apartment that I am decorating, we're both working, I love to cook, and are still in the midsts of getting presents.
My favorite is coming home to Chris after our work and not having to leave at night because now we're at the same place! The wedding was awesome, I loved seeing everything come together and loved the support from family and friends, especially those who traveled for us.

Our first picture as Mrs. and Mr. Pearson! Look how happy we look. We made a decision to get married in the temple years ago, way before we met, and it was so great seeing our dreams come true.

Yeah I love these ones by the fountain. We saw them shoot up and ran over to make sure we got some with it.

Cute!!! I love to see the temple

I'll blog later about the flowers I did but this is my bouquet. It was HUGE!!!

Happy to be married for eternity<3 <3

Some more pictures, we had hundreds:

Wedding Present Ideas

So throughout this whole wedding process I've discovered some good wedding gift ideas that I can pick from and use in the future. Some of these I wouldn't have thought about but could always come in handy after being married and these gift cards would never be wasted.
Think of some others too I could add:

- gas giftcard if they have a car
- Home Depot gift card because something can always be updated or fixed
- stamps and thank you notes, maybe for like a bridal shower or something
- maybe gift cards to places to eat
- Walmart gift cards
- Costco whatever (membership or gift card)

BYU Football, I will always be a fan

Today started off BYU 2010 Football. I've missed it, I used to have an internship last year for Athletic Marketing and used to be on the field which was SWEET! I would help market in different ways with doing tailgating things, help with promotions during the game, prepare the loges etc. Being on the field was the best, Cosmo was there along with some of the famous football people who would visit.
BYU won today!!! It was so much fun seeing everyone in their BYU shirt everywhere I went. Even though I'm graduated, still a fan. BYU has shaped me completely in who I am today because of the goals and hard work I put in coming here, and then attending the University and learning from the best about how I can live my life and be a better person especially with the Savior as my foundation. Even though I might be considered a Zoobie, I love BYU because of the way it has shaped my life for the better. I will always be a fan
