Five years ago today we sealed the deal. In the Palmyra Temple with our dear friends and family present. On a wintery snow-covered December afternoon.

Jeff lost his recommend upon arrival to the temple that morning. I remember mildly freaking out about that.

I wore uggs under my dress as we marched in the snow for photos.

Jeff in his patent leather shoes with frozen toes, slipping around at every step.

Rosy cheeks and red noses.

Looking at my husband wearing a shinny new ring on his left ring finger. I really loved how it looked on him.

Me, making sure I was looking my best at every pass of a mirror, reapplying and readjusting.

The drive to the reception alone together in our wedding attire for the first time as husband and wife. The stares and honks we got on the way.

And knowing not soon enough we'd be whisking off to our hotel room for the night, then on to our honeymoon followed by the rest of our lives together.

And today, I am so happy to be his wife.
