November 11th was all we could have hoped for. Both Candice and I look back and can honestly say that we would not have done a single thing different. We were not rushed, and there was not so much going on that we felt stressed or worried about details. Contrarily, we were able to soak in the emotions of the day and enjoy the company of the people who mean most in our lives. Thanks to all who helped plan and coordinate. And thanks to all who came to celebrate with us. It was an unforgettable day.
I do not want this to sound trite or cliche. But, without question, the highlight of the day was the ceremony itself. I cannot adequately communicate the emotions I felt during that short time. It began when Candice and I walked into the sealing room to see our families there. Neither of us like being the center of attention. But it was certainly a special feeling to have our closest friends and family gathered on our behalf to share that moment with us. My emotions continued to swell as the sealer delivered insightful and inspiring words just prior to performing the ceremony. He helped me gain a greater appreciation for the significance of marriage. The ceremony itself was wonderful. Then, to have a brief time afterward to embrace all who were in attendance brought happiness that I have seldom, if ever, felt before.
On another note... I must give awesome props to our photographer. She was easy to work with, had a great eye, and really captured what we wanted. In fact, she was recently featured by a photography website that highlights talented photographers throughout the world. Check out her feature here (they used many of our pictures in her feature).
Also, here are some of my favorite pics (Candice has a differing opinion on some of these):

Well it's about stinkin' time. It seems like forever since I've heard anything from you. Your wedding day really was amazing. So glad it was everything you guys wanted.
And I agree, your photographer really was amazing. You guys got such great pics - all except for that little renegade baby in pink. So sorry about that! We're idiots. It's a good thing all the other pics turned out so well.
BRAVO for your blog pictures and comments!!! What a wonderful couple you are and to share your thoughts and feelings with us is the best we could ask for. Glad you were so touched by the Temple ceremony!! We were too. Loved all your pictures especially the one where everyone is shouting!!!

Its about time. You better keep the posts coming. Trent said you painted a bathroom, so I would love to see what you did!!!

"Man VS. Wild" video. Thats hilarious.
I am glad that you guys are still alive in Vegas. It has been awhile since the last post. Although I don't have much room to talk. I was off my blogging game for some time.
I love the pictures and your wedding day was amazing. I am glad that you both look back on your wedding day has perfect.
I assume you got the message about Jackson. I called the siblings not long after getting out of surgery and I was drugged. If the message was ramblings sorry.
