20 Questions about our wedding/engagement

My sister posted this on her blog and I thought it was interesting and what woman doesn't LOVE talking about her wedding and engagement.

1. When did you get married? --November 10, 2007.

2. Was this your first marriage? --No

3. How long were you and your significant other together before getting married?--We met in April, he proposed in June and got married in November. So, we were together 7 months.

4. How did you meet your significant other? --We met at a church activity.

5. How did your engagement happen? Who asked who and how? --We went to Bear Lake for his family reunion and it was the first time I met any of his family. He waited until Sunday morning and we went for a drive around the lake and we pulled into an empty campground to relax. He said lots of wonderful things and asked me to marry him. I said yes. (obviously)

6. Did he ask the parents permission? --No, I didn't think he needed to.

7. Was the ring a surprise? Who picked it out? Would you ever get a new one? --No. I had a cocktail ring that he used since money was tight. The wedding band was a surprise and he bought me a new engagement ring for Valentines Day this year. I love them all and its fun to mix and match them.

8. Where was your wedding ceremony and/or reception? --We were married in the Las Vegas temple. Its fun to say we got married in Vegas. The reception was at a local restaurant.

9. What were your wedding colors? --Cream and deep purple. Surprisingly difficult to find that year. Everything was hot pink and brown.

10. What was the weather like on your big day? --BEAUTIFUL!!!! Not a cloud in the sky and even a bit warm for November.

11. Where did you go for pictures? --We had pictures on temple grounds before and after the sealing and some at the reception.

12. Did either of you get drunk? --No, we don't drink.

13. What was your wedding song? --We didn't have one. Dustin doesn't dance so we didn't have dancing.

14. What was your wedding favor/gift? --We didn't do wedding favors.

15. Did you smash the cake? --Nope. I spent too much time and money looking great and my cake was beautiful.

16. Wedding night? --We were making our way to Big Bear and stopped in Barstow.

17. Favorite part of your wedding day? --Being married at the end of the day to my husband.

18. Least favorite part? --How rushed everything felt.

19. Would you do it all again? --The only thing I would change would be to have a family gathering with the two families the night before and have assigned seating at the reception.

20. Where did you go on your honeymoon? --Big Bear. Gorgeous fall weather and very relaxing as it was between tourist seasons.
