Finally came the main event we had all gathered for had arrived. After all of us had gotten ready, we headed over to the Oakland temple, dropped the kids off to be watched by some wonderful family members, and headed inside the temple. Despite some delays, everything went smoothly and our hearts were filled as we watched Mariah & Ross make sacred covenants with each other and the Lord. It was beautiful, and I'm so glad we were able to be there, and remind ourselves of our own covenants and blessings. After this, the bridal party did the whole picture thing until heading to a luncheon Ross's family had put on. After stopping back home to change, we made our way back to the church a few hours before the reception to put the finishing touches on everything. Amazingly, everything from the food to the decorations all turned out beautiful. Once the guests started rolling in we were able to do a lot of visiting. The whole night was a blast, and we especially enjoyed showing off our kids, celebrating with Mariah and dancing with so many loved ones. After the bride and groom rolled out, we spent the night cleaning up, and coming back home for more visits.
