Oct 23rd....1999

Today Ryan and I celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary. I remember some parts clearly and other parts of the day are a blur. It was the perfect fall day. As I walked in the front doors of the L.A. temple I was so excited but I have to say I was quite calm. The brides dressing room was beautiful and angelic. I felt like a queen. I very calmly slipped into my wedding gown and my mom helped me put on my veil. ( the other bride in there was a little stressed, to say the least.)I'll never forget the look on Ryan's face as I walked down the spiral staircase to meet him. He was so sweet! We took the elevator up to the sealing room. At the moment I can't remember the name of the man who married us, Ryan will have to remind me. We chose to have a white wedding. It was so awesome to see all our friends and family there to support us. The spirit was so sweet. The ceremony is somewhat a blur. I was told by some friends that it was one of the best ceremonies they had been to. I wish I would've written everthing down. I know we were given some excellent advice. The reception was beautiful. It was perfect weather. The moon was huge!! It was a full moon that night. Ryan and I danced to crazy love by van morrison. I could go on and on about what an amazing night it was. I am so glad I married Ryan. He is the love of my life. He makes me laugh everyday...whether he means to or not :) He is just so kind and compassionate. Happy Anniversary Ryan!! I love You!! Lets go to Hawaii for our 10th. (sorry no picture for this post. We definately need a scanner and some more pictures together) If you where there, what do you remember about our wedding day?

I can't believe Rose has put up with Ryan for all these years...now she knows why I am sooo goofy. Just kidding Ryan, she is lucky to have such a sweet, hard-working, handsome, and great guy. And you are blessed to have found Rose. We love you both soooo much.
I remember the wedding day, but not as much as I would like, because of may AGE.... I do remember standing outside the LA Temple. Rose had on a pretty blue sweater and was just glowing. She looked beautiful. I remember the ride to the temple. Grandpa O was driving with Trace & Kyle in the back seat. Oh boy, it seemed like we would never get there. Finally, Trace asked if Randy would like him to drive. Happy day---we might just make it to the wedding on time. Trace got us there with plenty of time to spare. WHHHH !!!!!
I remember the sealing room. It was sooo white & peaceful..Ryan & Rose looked like angels. I remember the reception. It was amazing. Lots of Randys' family came from Utah. Grandma Rose was also there. Krystal looked soooo young, and very pretty. Newt did some fancy dancing...It was a special time. I remember feeling so happy to finally have a daughter. We love you & our beautiful Grandkids. Thank you for being such good examples to us all. Love, Grandma O
