michael & i were sealed in the newport beach, ca LDS temple....
i got my letter of approval the week before & we didn't want to wait another day to be sealed. i told my mom she had to help me plan my "shotgun" wedding.... everything fell into place & we made it to the temple! it was a perfect day, the weather was cool & michael's brother, anthony took pics for us. we celebrated with our family, bishop & closest (oldest) friends & had a "backyard bbq" luncheon at the ritz carlton afterward where we ate: coconut shrimp (what little pieces matt left for us), potato salad, onion rings, veggie burgers, chocolate fleur de sel cookies & root beer floats! we listened to the beach boys & laughed with the people we love.
the afternoon was a little taste of heaven. but the very best part (the part i don't have pictures of, just the ones in my heart) was kneeling across the alter holding hands with michael as we were sealed for eternity as husband & wife. the sealer asked us try to always see each other as Heavenly Father sees us, to realize our divine potential & to help one another become everything we were meant to be...
i love you michael... thank you for taking a chance on me =)
