Wedding Day! 27 Dec 2008

MARRIAGE FOR TIME AND ETERNITY

The sealing in the Sacramento Temple was scheduled for 10:00 AM, and Kevin had to drive that morning from Livermore, (1.5 Hours away) and i only had to drive 5 minutes from my house. The ceremony was great! We had about 50 people crammed in the room and my Grandpa Johnson married us in the temple.


Krystina's moms side of the family is not LDS so they waited outside the temple for us, she was so happy to see them there! It was so beautiful outside, no rain or clouds, which was great for the middle of winter! Apparently it was freezing outside, but I was a little distracted :). There were so many people there for me and Kevin, it was awesome! We took pictures outside of the beautiful temple, mostly goofy ones... figures. With the help from my oh so talented photographers, Aunt Pam Kloth, Uncle Grant Johnson and Uncle Jim Crummett. (Free pictures saved our budget and they turned out amazing!)


After the pictures were done we all headed over to the Spaghetti Factory down the road. We had so many people there! The dinner was great and everyone had Spumoni ice cream for dessert. Kevin's Dad, Bill Egbert, Gave a little speech for us, then he made EVERYONE in the room say something. It was great! Jessica Jankowski cried. My Mom, Kymberly Nance bawled and couldn't even get a word out. My sister, Rhiannon Bradford, 8 months pregnant still stood up. My good friend, Hannah Millar said some sarcastic remark :) haha. We got some great advice and everyone on Kevin's side of the family seemed to be warning me about Kevin, and everyone on my side were warning him about me... we really are perfect for each other aren't we!

It was now time for the reception, it was at the San Juan Stake Center in Fair Oaks, CA. We set up the night before, and the place was beautiful. We chose not to have a line, and somehow we ended up by the door greeting everyone anyways. So many people came to show us their support, people all the way from Idaho, Arizona, and Southern California. Kevin's friend Kurtis Lett traveled 12 hours just to come to our reception! At one point during the chaos I snuck away and raced my niece Maddison up and down the cultural hall. The food at the reception was great i think? All i could do was sneak my fingers into the meatball dish every chance i got. When it got time to cut the cake, it was supposed to be a peaceful matter, but it got out of hand when i smeared cake on Kevin's face :) There was a large group of single ladies at the reception so it was a gladiator death match when i threw the bouquet. By the end of the reception it was harder to get kevin out of a chair than making a cow go down a staircase... he was such a trooper.

At around 8 people cleared out and me and Kevin changed, said our goodbyes and were off to our fancy hotel in Roseville (20 minutes away), and about ten minutes on the road i realize that i forgot my bag at the reception!!! Kevin was not too happy about that...
