So it's official.. We tied the knot on May 5th and it was amazing!
Everything about it was perfect.
I have so much to say, but just do not know how to. I'll give a quick recap of our wedding and then let the photos do the rest of the talking.
So the week before our wedding went by so fast! I had so much to do and every day seemed to be shorter and shorter. The festivities began on Wednesday:
Wednesday: My Sister, Brother- in-law, and their cute baby girl got in town. First stop for them.. Cafe Rio.

| Harps with lalu and her favorite aunt! |

| Me and Baby Harp getting WELL acquainted.. Love her so much |
The girls mainly played, picked up some decorations and did a little shopping here and there, while the boys all went golfing.

Thursday: A little bit more of the same thing, and then that night by very best girl friends from high school got in town along with my brother and his sweet girl friend. Me, my sister, my sister-in-law, and the rest of the bridesmaids all went out for a delicious dinner in Salt Lake to Settabello. If you haven't been, it;s a must! AMAZING Italian pizza and gelato that is to die for.
Once again the boys did some golfing.
Friday: Started with an early wake up call around 4:45 to get ready for the temple that morning. My mom, my sister, Mr. Bledsoe, and I all went to the Mt. Timpanogos temple at 6a.m. for the 8a.m. session. This was such an amazing experience. All of my family and all of Mr. B's family was there in support of me. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. After the temple the boys of course went golfing, and the girls headed to the salon. We were able to rush and get our nails done and get ready before the rehearsal dinner that was held at Sawadee Thai restaurant, in Salt Lake City.
The way my plate was filled, you would have never thought that I was getting married the next day
It was such a fun and special evening with all of our family and friends.
There was laughter, tears, kisses, and delicious food.
My wonderful new in-laws put the evening together and it couldn't have been more perfect.
That night, Mr. Bledsoe and I parted our separate ways.
I was able to have one last great night with all my family and my girl friends that flew in from all over.
That night, I went to bed with no problems. From all the non-stop action I had had the past few days, I was down for the count.

Saturday: When people say that their wedding day was the most amazing day of their lives, you kind of ignore them and think oh how cliche. But SERIOUSLY, this day was the best day of my ENTIRE life!!!!
So it started with yet again another early wake up call and a hair appointment. Once the hair was done, it is a little bit of a blur. The whole time Me and Mr. B were planning on heading up to the Temple together. Well... when my dad and brother heard about that, they were not going to have it. They said that that was not tradition and that me and Mr. B had to meet each other there. Well let me tell you, Mr. B was not very pleased. I was finally able to talk him into it and I finished getting ready with my mom.
At around 10:30, my mom and I headed up to Salt Lake.
Parking of course was a hassle, but we figured it out. I was all ready to go and see Mr. B and the second I saw him I knew was still not very happy from driving up alone. And BOYYYY did he let me know. I think with all the stress of the week and change of plans, he just couldn't act like it didn't bother him. So the first thing that I got to hear from him, let me remind you ON OUR WEDDING DAY, was not how beautiful I looked, or how much he loved me, but this is what I got.
"You know you really frustrated me."
You can only imagine how I reacted.
Finally I realized well I'm marrying this man today so I better drop what he said and move on and that's just what we did.
Those wedding nerves sure can get to ya haha
I love Mr. Bledsoe more than anything in this world!
So our wedding ceremony time was 1 p.m. however we had to arrive an hour and a half ahead of time to get ready and be with one another. I was able to drive up with my mom and she was able to help me get ready. There is no one else I would have rather helped me than her. I look up to her and adore her more than anyone will ever know.
Okay so around 12:30 they escorted me and Mr. B to the waiting room where we were able to talk and reflect with one another. As the time was getting closer, Mr. B was getting more quiet. By the time it was 1:00, he was silent. You could tell he was pretty nervous. As for me I was a chatterbox, I was ready to get this show on the road.
Another side store-- we were walking into the sealing room when all of a sudden we heard some funny accents, we look over and we saw and were able to meet President and Sister Uchtdorf. I think because of that experience Mr. B knew this was so right and he relaxed just in time for our sealing.
Our actual ceremony was amazing, but to be honest I could not tell you one thing that was said. So much was running through my mind, but everyone around us told me it was great.
So I'll take their word for it
After our ceremony as we walked through the doors to meet our family and friends I felt so blessed. I was so happy. I had finally married the love of my life. And I could not wait to show him off to everyone, as my official husband. There were so many people outside the temple waiting for us. It really was such an incredible moment.
That night we had our reception at Highland Gardens, and it was everything I had dreamed of and more.
Thanks to my amazing sister, sister-in-law, and my brother's girl friend for making it perfect! They were the ones who took my ideas and made them real.
That night we were able to see old friends, and meet new friends. We danced the night away while kissing in front of everyone and you know what.. I didn't even care one bit!!
Mr. B's youngest brother was unable to be at our wedding because he is serving his full-time mission in Long Beach, California. However, he was there in all of our hearts and minds.
We left through a tunnel of sparklers and made our way to our hotel in Salt Lake, Hotel Monaco. It was such a fun hotel and then the next day we were off to beautiful Cancun, Mexico.
Unfortunately I forgot all the cameras at home, but thank goodness for iphones.
After our stay in Cancun for a week, we made our way back to my hometown in Plano, TX for some fun times with my family and more friends at an open house there. Our week in Plano was so much fun. We were able to have my mom all to ourselves for the first couple of days while my dad was in New York picking up my sister and my beautiful niece. He came back with those two and then on Friday Mr. B's parents were able to come out for the open house. It was a blast. We ate good food, some tex mex and real BBQ, hung out, and had some good times.
I am so blessed with the family I was born into. They are the most amazing people I have ever met. And I was continually blessed with the husband I have and his family. There truly is no better family to marry into than the one I did.
Now that we have been married almost a month, which I just cannot believe, life has started to somewhat settle down. We made our way out to California, where Mr. B is from, and we are living here for the summer. He was given the opportunity to intern out here, so it worked out great! We have had so many fun times in our marriage so far, I cannot wait for the rest!!
