THE BIG DAY!!!!!!!

Well, the next two weeks following the shower was hectic. With Natalie in St. George and us up here, we were scrambling to get everthing together and figure out how to get it all down to "The Ranch". I was in charge of all the decorations, and misc. findings(dishes, silverware) and anything else my mom dreamed up that we needed to have. She even left a day ahead of me and she called at least 3 times after she left and was still calling me on Friday as i was trying to get ready to leave to stop and pick up things on my way. But it all turned out great. Well, except for that the bride and groom were stranded in Cedar City with a broken down truck, and no way to haul half of their stuff. So of course the softy that i am, and that fact that i was the last one to be on our way down, we detoured and went to save the day. We drove to Cedar and picked up poor Natalie that had been sitting at her finacee's ex-wifes house for 3 hrs. waiting for us to save her. We shoved and moved and eventually got all the stuff in the tahoe along with all the crap i already had, and off we went for another 4 hr drive to "The Ranch".
It all worked out. It was hot. But it all went well and was beautiful. She got married in the middle of a field under some trees and did something called the 10 steps around a bon fire, and each shared their thoughts and dreams and promises to each other. It was great. The pictures say nothing compared to being there and see all the beauty around us.
