For Time and All Eternity

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, it was pouring rain! We all had prayed forever that the weather would be good, being that the wedding was taking place on August 15- a supposedly good weather day, accoring to climatic studies. Just believe me. So we walked into the temple with terrible weather. I was so sad about that, but still really excited about the day. By the time the ceremony was over, we walked out of the temple to gorgeous sunny weather! I was SO happy! The rest of the day was incredible and made the reception look amazing! Back to the reception, my Dad read a poem that he'd written about me and I cried like a little baby, because his baby I'll always be. Then we danced to The Little Mermaid instrumental music because that's very special between us. My Mom had a lot of wonderful things to say as well. I love them! After that, we had a rockin' good time dancing with everyone! When we were getting ready to leave, we got out to the truck that Ashlyn and Shawn had decorated. As we drove away, all the guys, family and dance friends, lined up in front of the truck so that we couldn't go, and they came snapping toward us. It was histerical. I loved my mermaid/"Meg" styled dress and Chasten looked stunning in his tux! Well, I loved it, and it was my dream wedding! The best part is I got to marry Chasten, my Prince Charming!!!
