Wedding Bells Were Ringing

So I'm finally married! It was quite the journey to make it to this point. If only everyone knew the problems we kept running into! But, I'm grateful that it is over and Ralph and I can move on with life.

Ralph's parents were able to come to the U.S. for a month so they could be a part of the wedding. It was/is such a blessing that they were able to come. I am grateful that I got to meet them and got to spend time with them before I married their son. It gave me some major insight about Ralph and where he came from. We did a lot of fun things including going to the Oregon coast and going on a mini train trip. A week after Ralph's parents arrived in Oregon, Ralph came.

I was so happy to see him! He makes me happy all the time and life was miserable without him. I am so blessed that I met a person as wonderful and caring and understanding as him. The sealing in the temple was a very special time. Now I'm stuck with him forever and I could not be happier! I put the only picture that I have gotten back from the photographer (who also happens to be my sister) up on here. If you want my sister to photograph your next event, need family photos, or just want a portrait shot to give out as a gift let me know and I'll put you in contact with her. She is new in the business but learning extremely fast. I love her work and am excited to see what esle she has.

I just want to take a moment to thank my mom for all the wonderful help she gave me. Things would have been a disaster if she wouldn't have spent so much time, money, and effort on this wonderful event. I love her and she will forever be my rock and support, even if I have a husband. I will miss being around her as much as I was before but I know she'll always be there for me. I LOVE YOU MOM!

Anyways, that's it for now. Mahalo for reading!
