Sandra recently shared with us the story of how she met her husband and how she found her perfect dress. Now she writes about her magical wedding day!

The Big Day:

“Brice and I were married June 11^th, 2011 in the St. George, UT LDS Temple. I felt so excited and full of butterflies the morning of our wedding day. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Our family surrounded us as we committed to eternity together.  As the ceremony progressed, I couldn’t help thinking how blessed I was to get to be sealed to my best friend for eternity. I cried, of course.

We held a luncheon at the St. George, UT Social Hall. I wore my perfect dress there, too. We had our favorite, Café Rio, catered, and we watched a slide-show of pictures from childhood to present. We also watched a musical number featuring our close family and friends. Brice and I loved that the people we loved most would be willing to dance and sing to help us celebrate our day. It was hilarious. Brice and I sang, “Lucky” to each other, which helped us represent our special love story.”

“We held our reception in the same venue that evening. The waterfall, bridge, and trees outside helped us stay cool and add to the serene atmosphere while we welcomed friends and family in the wedding line. Ris, a childhood friend, now a wedding designer for Ruby Blue Events, decorated the two indoor rooms with photos, tissue flower-poms, and Manzanita branch centerpieces, and we used the rooms for dancing, seating, and display. Our wedding colors were light and dark pink, sage green, and silver. 12 Plus 1 Catering provided delicious red velvet, chocolate peanut butter, and raspberry lemonade cupcakes and cupcake-bites on a giant cake-tower in addition to fresh fruit platters. We also had mouth-watering chocolate covered strawberries and pretzels. We had a square, two-tiered, red velvet wedding cake created by Brice’s sister-in-law. Sparkling raspberry lemonade and limewater kept our guests refreshed. We had a blast dancing with our friends and family at the end of the night. Bubbles accented the big send-off, and we drove away in Brice’s great-grandfather’s 1969 Chevy. What an amazing day!”

“Brice makes me laugh until I cry and gives the warmest hugs. We inspire each other to be better every day. I fell for his huge heart nearly 7 years ago, and we couldn’t be happier as a married couple. We feel so blessed to get to promise to be together forever.

Not a person passed me on my wedding day without telling me how much they loved my dress and how beautiful I looked. Thank you, Avenia Bridal for helping me feel gorgeous on my special day.”
