As the wedding day drew closer, I was getting more and more stressed out about packing up my classroom and drawing all my teaching stuff to a close. The last day of school was June 1, and I got married the next day!
I remember the morning of my wedding day eating waffles with my family for breakfast, which Matt joined us for. My sister-in-law, Kari, did my hair (I'm so cheap I didn't want to pay anyone, and Kari did super great!).
During the ceremony, the funniest part was our kiss over the altar. Neither Matt nor I had ever been to a temple wedding, and we weren't sure what an "appropriate" kiss inside the temple would be. Added to our nerves, our "kiss" ended up being a peck on the lips. I got teased mercilessly!
The day was so blasted hot that our pictures didn't turn out as well as we wanted them to. We're both red-faced and sweating.
We did a luncheon at Olive Garden after pictures. After eating, everyone just lingered around and talked. Matt and I were enjoying conversation and family and weren't in any hurry to leave. Finally my sister, Ariane, shooed us out to leave for our honeymoon.
The honeymoon was short and not far away at all. We drove to Galveston and stayed the weekend at a Bed and Breakfast. Matt had to be at work on Monday (we got married on a Friday) so there wasn't much time for sight-seeing. We did enjoy long walks on the beach and an IMAX film. :o)
We did our reception the following Friday, which we enjoyed. I got another chance to get dolled up and to make more use of my wedding dress!

Matt looks so young in all our pictures. That will be great in years to come, but he looks 17 or 18 to me instead of 24 on our wedding day.Flowers that Matt bought for our anniversary

Our food:
Matt's steak was divine. I was excited about my cashew chicken salad, but I wasn't impressed. I have never been good at ordering food at restaurants. Any time I try to branch out and try something new, I usually end up not liking it. Matt will often switch meals with me if I don't like mine because he's such a sweetie. Not this time though.... :o) Of course, cheesecake followed dinner!

Congratulations guys! You still make a great couple!
Congrats! I forgot that it was your anniversary. I didn't think that your kiss was too awkward. I'd rather watch a short kiss than a long-save-it-for-your-honeymoon one. I love this last picture of you and Matt. You guys look so fantastic! You even have tans, no fair. You look so healthy and skinny! It must be all of that running. I glad you had a great anniversary.
Aw Haley! I should send the couple pictures I have from your reception!!! That was fun and you looked amazing! Congrats!
I'm totally thinking of doin that race! Have you registered? Let's do it together.
Congrats! You guys are so cute! I am glad you guys were able to go out and celebrate your special day!
Congrats! It's amazing how fast goes by!
Did you plan to match? Cause that's funny either way. :)
Wow. Time flies. I'm so happy to see you going strong. Out of our 5 closest couple friends 3 are moving, 1 is divorcing, and we never talk to you guys anymore. :( Things need to change. Thanks for the comment on my scrapbooking. I have loads of scrapbook stuff but I have fallen in love with digital. The ones on my page were created with my Scrapbook Factory program.
