I GET MARRIED ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!!
back when i told “the proposal” story, i was a little bothered by the fact that i hadn’t taken adequate pictures of that night.
he popped the question at the end of the evening at a surprise location in Emigration Canyon by Salt Lake City. it was secluded, the view was gorgeous and i absolutely love it up there!
as mentioned in my last post, we chose that spot to take our Bridals. James and i drove up there the week before to check it out, and i snagged some better shots.
…this is the old rusted gate that James had pulled up to and so smoothly pulled a key out of the box on the left the night he proposed. we then winded farther on a tiny beaten path to our final destination. sadly, that box is now locked along with the fence making it impossible to get the truck up.
…so we footed it…
…(nice pose, eh?)
…this is looking behind me at how far we’d walked.
….so uh, going by foot was getting tiring, and i kind of refused to go ALL the way to the spot he proposed at. though i took a picture of it!
in this picture, follow the path to the hill on the far right. that’s where we had our “magic moment” : ) ….

we definitely will have to go back again and again. it’s too beautiful not to!
enough pictures of that…
a W E E K from today!
…and i feel the pressure of it. knowing how many people are involved, how much is being done, and how much stress so many other people are under for MY wedding…it stresses me out to no end. the last couple of days i have been so snappy and allowing more than usual get under my skin. poor james. though i’ve been pretty good to catch myself and apologize right away. but i hate it still.
my head is just constantly running with mental to-do lists making sure i haven’t forgotten anything and that no important factor is left out. i wish i could relax, but my head is already nagging me about all that needs to be done AFTER the wedding too.
ahhhhhhhhh!!!
well, i’m very excited too. very very!
my mom just informed me last night that my grandparents wanted to come to my wedding and have found a way along with one of my aunts, uncle, cousins and his family! that news made me SO happy! i had been a little a bummed that no extended family would be at my wedding, as there were at each of my sisters’. so this news was just perfect!
and now…
….the clock’s-a-tickin’!…
flight home on wednesday!
love, whit
