Once upon a time...

There lived a boy (Adam) and a girl (Brittani) who both went to school at BYU-Idaho. He hung out with girls, while she dated boys. They met and flirted... a ton! It took Brittani a long time to convince Adam that she was the only one he wanted to date. Then when he finally decided, it was all up hill from there. They spent that next summer together doing everything a perfect couple would do. Watched movies, stayed up late talking (and kissing, duh!), and playing outside every chance they got. It was a wonderful summer!
At the end of the summer however, Adam was going to a far away land (North Carolina) where he would be doing an internship for 4 months. Brittani would be staying in Rexburg to continue her schooling. They wouldn't see each other for a whole 4 months.
So the end of the summer came, Adam took a long grueling 5 minutes to ask Brittani's dad for permission to marry her. Of course, Brittani's dad was thrilled (as thrilled as a man can get over those things) to have Adam join the family. Adam proposed and Brittani said YES!
The wedding planning, the internship, and school all began at once. They were running every which way, but eventually were back in each other's arms where they belong.
On April 9th, 2011, in the Portland Temple,  Brittani and Adam began their Happily Ever After. The day was wonderful. That morning Brittani's best friend from high school (Mel) came to make sure she was in check. All of Brittani's sisters were getting ready and running around like mad, making sure things were going gerat. A very good family friend (Jana), who had done Brittani's hair since she could have her hair cut, made Brittani look like a princess just because of her hair. Their great photographer (Katie) was also there that morning. 



Adam picked Brittani up and they were on their way to being sealed for eternity.


When they came out of the temple, they were greeted by all of their closest friends and family. Tears of joy, hugs, and lots of laughing filled the air. Pictures were taken and more laughing happened.







After the pictures, the Bride and Groom headed to their luncheon. Their bridesmaids and groomsmen entered the luncheon to the song, "I think I wanna marry you", by the Glee cast. The bride and groom were the last to enter and it was one big party. The food was made by a great friend, Rick, who did a fabulous job! They watched a slide show that took everyone back to when they were young and how they came to be.



Lastly, the reception. It was so great to see how many people came with their love and support. Thanks to everyone! The bride and groom stood greeting their guests for the first half. Then the cake was cut and the dancing began. Their first dance was to "Then" by Brad Paisley. Next the bride danced with her daddy. They danced to "I loved her first" by Tim McGraw and bawled their eyes out during the entire 3 minutes of the song. Next the groom danced with his mom to one of their beach music songs. They tossed the boquet and the garder and then danced with all of their friends and family! It was the best ending to the beginning of their happily ever after.
