It was a beautiful cool
December day at the Oakland Temple. Mike drove me to the Temple that
morning, and our ride was quiet and reflective. I pondered about how
my life had changed for the better, and about the goals I had set that led
me to this day. I am very grateful for both of our
families' support. Heather and I started our lives as a family
that day, and every day after, we continue learning from each other and
our family members. It definitely takes a village... And for their
example, we thank them every day in our prayers.

Exiting the
Temple |
Our wedding was beautiful. The peacefulness of
the Temple made it a very special and sacred event.
After the ceremony, we could hardly wait to go out and hug our
friends and family, and share our hapiness with
them.

Greetings |
It was cool to be greeted by our loved ones as we came
out of the Temple. It was great to share such special
day with them.
However, we were not the only ones celebrating.
This particular Saturday, the Temple was extremely busy with
weddings; and couples were coming out of the Temple about
every 20 minutes. It must have looked like a wedding
factory for those waiting outside.

Heather's Mom and sister were very helpful, and always
made sure that Heather looked her best. Not that she
needed it, she is so beautiful.

Beautiful
Heather |
Some people ask me, 'How did you know she was the
one?' I always think of her beautiful smile, and her
strong and merciful personality, always hopeful and
optimistic. I know that she completes me. And
that's how I knew.
