ARIANNE AND TYLER DESPAIN!!!

Wow! Another milestone in my life! I am now married to my very best friend and am staring a whole new life as the wife of Tyler Despain. What an amazing experience! The wedding was so beautiful and was exactly what I had hoped it would be! There were so many people that spent so much time and money helping Ty and I have the perfect wedding. Thanks to everyone who helped us and cheered us along the way! HA!

Ty and I were married in Logan, UT at a cute little place called the Ritter Mansion. It was so romantically beautiful. Our ceremony was definitely my favorite part about the whole thing. Tyler and I were both balling pretty much the entire way through the wedding, but my makeup stayed. Ha! It seriously was so beautiful! We had my long time friend Nik Day play the ceremony song as well as play throughout the reception as well. He did an amazing job! What a talented musician! He is going to go so far!

Our reception followed the ceremony and it was so much fun! We had karaoke which was absolutely hilarious! Definitely a blast and once again, everything was completely beautiful!

Tyler and I ran away from our ceremony and drove to Salt Lake where we stayed the night in my parents time share The Kimbal. It was fun, but we were both completely exhausted. Ordered a pizza, and went to bed. Ha! The next morning we drove to the airport where we got on a plane and went to LAS VEGAS!!! WAHOO!! Ha! We stayed in Excalibur hotel and it was definitely an adventure! We did quite a bit for 5 days in Vegas! We went to The Blue Man Group, went on a Gondola ride, went to 2 4D movies, shopping, slots (not too much, but when we did do it I always won Ty and my money back. Ty didn't do too great though. Ha!) We even tried to stay up late enough to watch Steve Wyrick do a magic show commercial for Ford on the strip. However, we ended up giving up around 3 a.m. and going back to the hotel since nothing seemed to be happening. Ha! Another fun thing that we did while we were in Vegas is we went to a 5 star resteraunt called Fleur De Lys on Thanksgiving. It was definitely an adventure and I will post pictures as soon as I can figure out how. Ha! The downfall to spending about $200 dollars on dinner, was we ended up spending the worth of a $150 phone as well (Tyler's blackberry storm). He left it in the bathroom and the cleaner guy must have stole it or something cause we searched that place through and through with no luck. YAY! So Tyler no longer has a phone...
I think that by the end of the trip both of us were very much exhausted and ready to go home. We missed our puppy and family for sure, but most of all we missed OUR BED!!! :)
When we got home we had to go straight to Idaho Falls for our open house at my parents house. Another fun event! HA! Honestly, I am just very much glad that everything is over and we are back to normal crazy life!

Well, that is the end of our wedding adventure. More to come! And I will definitely post pictures asap. Love you all!

Upcoming Happy Day...

Here it is everybody! In 10 days Tyler and I will be making one of the biggest commitments in our life to each other. 10 days and we are together! FOREVER!!! Ha! Honestly, it seems so surreal that this day has come so fast, and yet in some ways it won't come fast enough!
The wedding plans have definitely been insane (on top of Tyler working 2 jobs, and me taking 18 credits and working 35 hours a week). However, we are almost there and I seriously can't wait for the day to be here when I walk down the isle and commit myself to the most amazing man I have ever known.
Overall though, the plans have been going well. It seems that because of all the talented people in Tyler and my family, we are sure getting a really elegant and beautiful wedding for like, NOTHING! However, it has been really stressful trying to plan everything myself. I really am happy that I have such an amazing future mother-in-law who has been helping with everything though. We have definitely had our bumps along the way. Ha! My mother sort've had a set back on the invitations due to her overwhelming need to multi-task. :) But I love her and appreciate her doing so much for me! Sue (My step-mother) has basically taken over on the open house in Idaho Falls so that has been a huge relief to not have to worry about.
Overall, things are pretty set so I hope you all can come!
I will update you all again after the wedding and honeymoon, however it might not be until December seeing as how finals come like IMMEDIATELY after Thanksgiving break. But I will try to do it as soon as possible!
