More Wedding Pics

Just wanted to share some more pictures of our wonderful wedding day!!!

Here is our new little family standing outside the temple doors. Aren't we a cute family?

Love these guys in their suits!!!

Brian and I as we came out of the temple

JUST MARRIED!!!! Could we be smiling any bigger?

Everyone in front of the Mt. Timpanogos temple

My family - the Hadlock's and cousin Caroline who was visiting from Belgium. I have such an awesome and great family, I wouldn't trade them for anything. My parents constantly help me out so much with the boys and everyone has been so supportive of me. I love my 2 sweet sister in law's to death and was thrilled to discover I get 5 more sisters (in law's) from Brian's side - yeah!! From the beginning they were so nice and wonderful to me and the boys and that hasn't changed. I just love them. I am waiting on some more pictures so hopefully I can post some of the Pratt side.

The Baker side of the family (this is Brian's wife, Tanya's family who have been so great and accepting of me and the boys. They traveled from Texas, Arizona, Washington, California and North Carolina to come to our wedding - how is that for supportive and nice??)

This is one of my closest friends, Carrie from Massachusetts. We met over 14 yrs ago while working at Dentrix and have remained close ever since, even though she has lived in Massachusetts for the last 9 or so yrs. She knew Brian as well since she worked at DTX with us & said from the beginning of our relationship she would fly out & be at our wedding if we ever got married. So true to her word out she flew out the week of the wedding for us. She treated me to a pedicure and we did other fun girl things (shopping, lunch, etc) during my wedding week.

Paxton wanted to help me with my dress - I thought this was so cute!

Our rings

Me kissing Brian after we cut the cake and he had cake all over his mouth

Cute pic of me and the girls at the temple

Bridal shot at the Millennial Falls reception center

I cracked up when I saw this picture of the kids "fighting" - it was so funny!

We have the CUTEST kids in the world - aren't they the sweetest?? I LOVE this picture of them all together in front of the waterfall. My boys are excited to have sisters and I think the girls like the idea of having little brothers. What an awesome day this was!!!! Today was the 2 week mark since we were married and we are already separated! LOL, let me explain. Since the boys only have school for another 3 weeks I didn't feel right about yanking them out of school to move up there yet & so I'm staying at my parent's house with the boys until school is out. This makes for an interesting start to our marriage since we don't get to see each other except on the weekends.....well, who says conjugal visits are only for inmates? There might be a mid week conjugal visit or two to get a girl through the week, who knows? :) But absence makes the heart grow fonder right? Well I keep trying to tell myself that but this living apart actually sucks and I'm anxious for this "transition period" to be over with so we can all be together!!!!

A New Chapter in Life Has Begun

Friday April 24th was the BEST day of my life because Brian and I were MARRIED! It was such a perfect and special day, I will remember it forever!!!!! We were married for time only in the Mt Timpanogos temple and later that night had a wonderful open house reception at Millennial Falls up in Draper. So many family members and friends came by to offer their congrats and best wishes, it was quite the night (in more ways than one :)


Here are some pictures of our special day! Brian's nephew's wife Kristy took these awesome pictures - didn't they turn out great? We are thrilled with them! The kids all looked wonderful and were so happy for us (OK Parker & Paxton each had a moment at the temple - you will notice that in one of the pics - but the rest of the time they were their normal happy, active selves.)

I especially love these 2 pictures. She just captured by the look on my face how happy & in love I am with Brian, he truly is the love of my life and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him. Morgan and Madi are such great girls I'm excited & privileged to get to be a part of their lives. My boys are so excited to have all of us become a family & get some sisters & have Brian around to do guy things with. I plan to create a new blog and when I do I'll post a link here so you can start to follow our life as we now have doubled in size. I think that means double the fun we will have with the 3 of these wonderful and special people!
OK back to more pictures of our day.

In front of the temple doors - if you are noticing Parker you will see that I told you the kids each had a moment, well this one was Parker's. :)

See, now he's happy again! Doesn't Parker look so handsome and grown up in that suit?? What a little man he has become.

I'll admit I LOVED my dress and Brian loved it too! I'm glad I hadn't showed it to him and surprised him when I walked out of the dressing room in it - he really thought I looked great and is so sweet with his compliments towards me all the time.

Brian looked sooo amazing in his suit!!! What a hottie I married!

Here was our first dance. As a joke Brian had them playing "Fernando" by ABBA but after a small portion of that our real first dance song came on - "Violet Hill" by Coldplay - I LOVED it!

Isn't our cake cool looking? I love how it turned out as well as my flower bouquet!

So when we fed each other cake I couldn't resist and rubbed it into his face a bit. I love how this picture captured him then going in for his revenge and the look on my face when I saw what he was going to do.

This is such a cute & sweet pic of Paxton & Brian - they look so happy.

I love this picture of Brian and his girls - it turned out great!

Me and the girls, Madi & Morgan. I love this one too - the setting under the tree, etc. The girls looked so darling & grown up in their dresses. We were all happy with how our colors worked out, I think we all looked really good together.

Look how handsome my 3 men are!!!

You know honestly from the start of our relationship I have always felt like I was living in a fairy tale because of how perfect things have been between us. I truly believe it was meant to be and it was no coincidence we reconnected at this point in our lives, that someone had a hand in directing us to one another. Someone knew my heart & sent me Brian. We just mesh so well with each other (always laughing when we are together) and he has brought me more happiness than I ever thought possible in a relationship. His girls have fulfilled in me the need to have a daughter. Now I'm lucky to say I get not 1, but 2 wonderful step daughters of my own. Brian has said he wanted boys and now gets the chance. He is so much fun and so active my boys are lucky to have someone who has embraced them and enjoys being with them. In Brian I have found my other half and feel so complete and happy in life. I am so blessed to have him as my husband now. I hope we can always love each other like this and treat each other with respect & kindness. And of course I hope we have that fairy tale ending and ALL live happily ever after!
