Married!!

So yeah, got married on SATURDAY! Woo hoo! So awesome. It was a long, but good, day.

5:00am Wake up and go get hair done at amazing salon. Jessica, my photographer, and BFF Rach were there ALLL day. It was soo fun having them there.

9:ooam Meet Eric at SLC temple and sit in celestial room with him. Nothing short of heaven.

10:20am Get married!

11:00am -1:30pm Get lots of pictures taken. Eric starts wilting.

2:30pm Show up an hour late to luncheon. Eric completely wilted.

5:30pm More pictures

7:00pm-9:00pm Reception where I met a lot of people I didn't know and after an hour was totally and 100% mentally checked out and wanted to stop talking to said people I didn't know.

9:00pm Walked out to find our car covered in fun stuff.... then drove to the Grand America hotel in Salt Lake!!! We'll be saving up for a real honeymoon later, but here's a lil taste of what we had:











We stayed in an executive suite on the 22nd floor (Thanks Eric's parents and Sara!). Italian marble bathroom, chocolate EVERYwhere, rose petals, robes, slippers, pool, room service, etc. etc.

We found a sweet mini fridge in our room stock full of all kinds of drinks, snacks, etc. We helped ourselves liberally. Then we saw a little price list next to this fridge....

We asked the little housekeeper if we had to pay for all of the things we took out of this fridge.

"Si! You no read sign?!?"

No senora.....probably should have told us that $50 ago.










We had a view of the mountains, as seen here. Pictures just don't do it justice

Dinner at the Melting Pot. By far, the GREATEST and most amazing restaurant I have ever encountered. Our appetizer was a cheese fondue. It had white wine, sun-dried tomato pesto, basil pesto, garlic, mozzarella, and fontina cheese. I almost died it was so good. We were big fans of the bread, even though there were apples and veggies to dip as well.

Next: Caesar salad

THEN--a simmering pot of Carribbean Mojo (cilantro, lime, and fresh orange, garlic, fresh pepper, jerk, and chicken broth I'm guessing)

complete with shrimp, pork, chicken, filet mignon, another type of steak, little pasta thing, mushrooms (one of my faves), potatoes, and broccoli

And to top it ALL of: the Yin-Yang chocolate fondue (milk and white chocolate) with all the dippers: bananas, graham covered mallows, oreo covered mallows, strawberries, poundcake, cheesecake, rice krispies, and brownies.

In conclusion, quite possibly the best 2 hours of my eating career.

All in all it was awesome, but only made us want to escape to somewhere tropical for a couple weeks for a real honeymoon! Hopefully soon!
