Nikki and I were married Jan. 12, 2007 in the Mt. Timpanogas Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What a perfect day. It's amazing how you can spend so much time planning something and stress so much about it, but then on the actual day (crunch time) everything goes down without a hitch. I can't even say how thankful I am to wonderful family and friends for making it such a wonderful day.
Nikki and I met at the Riviera in Provo during the summer of 2006. After dating for not TOO long, we got engaged in November and set the date for January. We weren't overly excited about a winter wedding, but when you know something's right there comes a point where you can only wait so long. Was our wedding day cold? YES. Butt cold. It was also the most beautiful and perfect day of our lives (so far).
We were sealed at 1
1 a.m. that day by the son of Vaughn J. Featherstone, a general authority of the Church. When we were sealed by the power of God's priesthood, we made a covenant with Heavenly Father that we would live our lives in accordance with His commandments, that we would do everything we could to live worthy to return to His presence. His end of the deal was the promise that Nikki, me, and our (future) children would be together for all eternity. We work hard every day to live up to that covenant and have found ourselves growing more and more in love every day as we strive to keep those sacred promises we made that day.

My mom and dad and many other diligent worker bees were tireless in putting together a killer reception for us that included food (which we didn't eat but I heard was awesome) and some sweet dancin'. Then we were whisked away to sunny Park City where we enjoyed the sights and the outlet stores. Finally, a beautiful reception in Nikki's hometown of Burley, ID topped off the wedding experience. Not too bad. Not too bad at all!
Our wedding day... Freaking awesome. I think, however, it's something we'll only do once.
