wedding!

yeah....so...um.....I'm married now :)
So many exciting things have happened, and I just want to share them with everyone! Unfortunately.....wedding pictures aren't in my grasp yet, so you'll have to wait for pictures! I promise I will upload soon though!

So...the wedding day:
The day started REALLY early. Like 1:30 am when my dad came down to my room and woke me up. He said, "Dani, Sarah Winkelkotter (a neighbor) said she saw two men with flashlights get in your car (Technically Tyler's car) and she called the police. The police are outside and want to talk to you." My heart was pounding so fast! I ran outside and the police asked me to look and see if anything got stolen....I started looking and everything looked pretty normal....the only thing that looked out of place was that there were a few carl's jr. coupons thrown on the passenger seat, and I knew for a fact I didn't leave them that way. So I told them I don't think anything got stolen, but I called Tyler just to make sure. After I explained the situation to Tyler he finally said, "Dani, my ipod was in there. In the middle console." are you sure!!?? yes. UGGHHH. NO IPOD. Those stupid criminals! I was soooo mad! I was so mad at myself for leaving the doors unlocked! It was an accident :( Fortunately, Tyler was very understanding and wasn't rude or made at me one bit! I love him!
So then I went back to bed....and lets just say I didn't get much sleep that night.I had to be at Kami's house at 7:30 am for HAIR! She did such a wonderful job and I loved it! Then at 9:30 Andrea came over and did my make up, which also turned out beautiful! Then me, my mom, and my grandpa dashed off to the luncheon early so that we could help set up and so that my grandpa could take some pictures of me and Tyler before the guests arrived. The luncheon was so wonderful. It was beautiful and the food was delicious! Our closest friends and family came and spent the morning with us :) Then me and Tyler and my mom had to hurry to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. The time FLEW by and before we knew it we were walking into the sealing room hand in hand. It was so breathtaking. It was amazing to walk into the room full of our loved ones whom all had a smile on their face.
Tyler will probably kill me for telling you all, but I think personally think it is HILARIOUS! As we walked into the sealing room Tyler stepped on the back of my dress (it was bustled, but it was still too long without my high heels and my poofy slip on) and the bustle RIPPED out! hahaha....everyone laughed. Poor Tyler! Brother Flade from my old ward was our sealer and it was beautiful. He did SUCH a good job :)
And then....we came out of the temple.....took a million pictures :) you know how it goes....
then we went straight to Noah's!! When I walked in I was SHOCKED. It was soooo beautiful!! Tyler's grandma, Carol and aunt, Carrie were in charge of the decorations and the centerpieces and they seriously turned out so so so beautiful. I could not have asked for a better wedding day. The reception was really good :) It was good to see old family and friends and everything just turned out so wonderful! Tyler and I left in our very tastefully decorated car and drove like 4 minutes to our nearby hotel :)

The next morning we left for Vegas!! 4 hours to St. George were we stopped for lunch, then 2 more hours to Vegas were we got to our hotel, the Luxor! (the pyramid on the strip) It was WAY cool! Long story short, we spent the afternoon and evening wondering up and down the strip and ended up eating dinner at Denny's....hahahaha. oh what great memories. Me and Tyler have come to the conclusion that we're not exactly "cut-out" for Vegas. The next morning we left early and headed to Garden Grove California! It was only about a 4 hour drive, so it wasn't too bad :) Once in California we went to the pool and soaked up a few rays :) and then we went to dinner.... Th next day we went to California Adventure and Disneyland! And then again the next day! That night we went to a fancy dinner at the Cheesecake factory, which was delicious! The next day we got to sleep in and then we drove to Seal Beach! It was really pretty and we ate subway on the sand! It was overcast that day, so it wasn't very hot and sunny, but we still had a lot of fun. Especially Tyler, whom spent quite a while body surfing in the waves. We then drove around for a bit, and then went back to our hotel, showered, started packing, and then we went to DQ for a YUMMY treat! The next morning we left early and drove 6 hours to St. George and had lunch at Cafe Rio! We got to stop and visit with my old friends from South Jordan and then we were back on the road! We made it back to my parent's house at about 7:30 pm. Tyler's parents came over and we opened all our presents! We felt sooo spoiled! Thank you to everyone!!! Later that night we found out that Tyler's dad's boss wanted us to go pick out a new refrigerator for his wedding gift. We were sooo excited!! On our way back up to Logan we stopped in Bountiful at the appliance store and picked out a BEAUTIFUL new sided-by-side stainless steel fridge and they said it would be delivered the next day at 3! Sure enough, it is now standing proudly in our kitchen, and we LOVE it! Seriously, we got spoiled rotten, and we couldn't be more thankful!
Tyler and I have been happily married now for 9 days :)
