Disney Dreamfinders

We've decided to showcase some highlights from our wedding! Enjoy!

Guess what, everybody! We FINALLY got our wedding pictures back...two months later, but worth the wait. They're awesome! There are more to come; do not worry!

Koska was born on July 25, 1995. He fit in to our family immediately. He was the sweetest dog, and got along with everyone. He was born a little white ball of fluff, and grew into a beautiful American Eskimo dog. Ever winter, the day of the first snow, he would pounce around the backyard as if he'd never seen this new white innovation in his entire life. It was so cute! Sometimes I would look out the window and I wouldn't be able to find him because he blended with the snow so well. He loved to play in it, and he was fun to play with in the snow. During the warmer months of the year, our family really enjoyed going outside to play with him. I taught him every trick he knows. Both of them. :) I taught him, "Up!", which means he would stand up on his hind legs and hop around. Then I would tell him to sit. He did so every time, and every time he got a treat for being such a good doggie. On Saturday, September 19, 2009, we came home to find him in the backyar...

One month!!! Yep, my little wifey and I made it to our one month anniversary. Man, did that time fly by, but I have to say, it has been and still is spectacular. (Btw, she got me Wolverine on dvd and I became a really happy boy!) Her gift, well, it is not so much tangible, but she really enjoyed it ;) Tho, I guess you could say she can touch it...umm, I'll just stop there, hehehe. The humble little home we created has become our safe haven where we enjoy the company of one another and can be a family, like when wifey sits with me to watch football hi ghlights. But, ya'll, having that for a month so far made me realize how nice it is to have your own family and what it m eans to be a husband. I like being the head of da household. It's a job with great responsibility but comes with some very exciting benefits...hehehe...if ya kn ow what I mean. Alysse is everything I had ever asked for and more and she knows it. She is my little wife who massages my feet. Yea, unlike Bell...

So Chasten and I hiked up to the hot springs with Ashlyn and Shawn the other night. It was dark, adn quite scary on the way up do to all of the rattling Ash and I heard in the bushes, til later we finally found out that it was Shawn and Chasten throwing rocks into the bushes in front of us. Turns out they just wanted us to run to them for security. :) On our way up, we ran into some hikers on their way back down the mountain. I told one of them that he smelled like sulfer, (because the hot springs are fresh water and hot sulfer, hence their rechid stench.) His reply was this: "Yeah, I smell like alcohol and dirty sex too!" Taken back, we all had to laugh. I'll admit it was pretty hilarious. When we got up to the "hot pots", we had to dim our flash lights as we got into the pools because you never know what you might find up there. It's known to have a lot of nudees. Lucky for us, the hot pots were filled primarily of college students, all of who l...

Hello, hi there! Welcome to our blog! So I just wanna add a post because Ashlyn is getting on my back about up-keeping, haha! This is Alysse. Excuse me, it's the NEW Alysse Nicole Smith Crouchet! So after a lot of planning, the wedding was a complete success! The orange calla lilies, Asiatic lilies, and day lilies were amazing! They accented our pool colored turquoise very well. Our wedding cake was a castle with fleur de lis on it, and Chasten had a fleur de lis groom's cake. The music was all instrumental Disney love songs. That was one of my favorite parts; it really brought out the "character" in our reception. It was classy and us at the same time. Not that we're not classy. We are. But we're goofy too. We're both. Equally. Anyway, after the line died down we got everyone to gather in the gazebo for dancing. The weather was beautiful. Which, let me tell you about that! The morning of our wedding, we drove up to the SLC LDS Temple, ...

Chasten here! Ok, so the wedding was awesome. My beautiful bride and I had an amazing day; everything from the Temple to the night time fireworks extravaganza...well not so much actual fireworks, but i think you get my drift... Anyway, our reception was filled with delicious jambalaya ( a taste from home), jazzy music, and the love of our family members who not only made our night great, but seemed to enjoy themselves really well. It was a night to remember, but I'll let Alysse elaborate on all the mushy wedding stuff. So, we spent a hoppin' weekend at the Marriott in downtown Provo ( an awesomely soft bed and delicious room service). Then, Her Majesty and her Prince Charming flew out to their second home, Walt Disney World! It really was a magical experience. We had an amazing view from out hotel room, which was right on Disney grounds, and like always, we had a blast in the parks. Many "congrats" flew our way, as we sported our "happily ever after" and ...

Chasten was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, in Saint Bernard Parish. He speaks French, and loves his culture and background. He's passionate about family and friends, and New Orleans style food- sea food, Cajun, Creole, etc. etc. etc. Chasten loves the outdoors and also loves to be around people. In turn, they love to be around him. He makes friends easier than anyone I've ever known! He is the most genuinly nice guy, loves to laugh, and is super goofy. Any of you that know him know that that's the truth. He loves Disney just as much as me; I've found my equal there, thank goodness! Haha! I love my husband!!!
