You guys made our day the most perfect and special day, we will never forget it!! Everything turned out better then we ever imagined!!


We had a line, which ended up being perfect because so many people came I don't know how we would have said our Hello's to everyone if we we not in a line!! Sarah came and brought us all glasses of water while we were thanking everyone for coming. It was perfect we were all so parched!! My cute sister came up to us about 20 mins into the night and said "Your line is to the middle of the parking lot you might want to scoot your line up to the Gazebo" So we moved up to the gazebo and continued our greetings!! Out DJ Jesse came to me latter and said "You have 10 mins until 8:00 and your line is still very long what should we do?" So at 5 mins to Griff and I and our parents made our way down the line to say our thank yous and then made our way inside to continue our FABULOUS Night!!

The mess!!!! Haha Our brothers and sisters and close friends made our car so cute!! They did such a good job! Most people destroy the car but they didn't! There were Condoms on the shifter, and blown up with glow sticks in them :D it was so funny!! Oh the writing on the window was Hillarious!! Gong!! Hanky Panky!! You guys rock thank you for making the night so great!!
We had the best night ever here!!!


Our Yummy Candy Bar!! My cute mom did the best job ever getting all the candy to match our colors!! This was the highlight of the night for all the sweet tooth friends who came!!!
Cake!!!! Time to cut our cake, We came inside to cut our adorable cake and realized my parents were no where to be found so I told Sarah and she said "Don't do anything till I find them!!" So she came back about 2 mins later so it was time!!! Griff and I were trying to figure out the best way to cut the cake! Once we had a piece we feed it to each other... I was told since I was 15 that I can not shove the cake haha so I didn't but I did put a little frosting on his cheek and Kissed it off!! :D Griff was so sweet and just cutely feed me the cake!Boquet Toss!! We were going to have it outside on the Balcony but our DJ was inside and was playing "All the Single Ladies" and we wanted to hear the music!! I had to be careful not to hit the Lights as I tossed my Flowers so I ended up throwing it not far enough and it landed on the floor :) but my best friend Jori fought for it and got it!!!

The Garter Fling!!! Griffin was so cute, everyone was yelling "take it off with your teeth!!" he was laughing so hard I loved it!! So once he got it off he Flung it to the Boys and his buddie Clifton caught it, not only didn he catch it he jumped up and tapped the lights :D

My Daddy Daughter Dance!! So great, I love my daddy so much he is my everything!Mom Son Dance!! They were so funny Spinning and Dipping each other!

Our first dance!! We danced to "Your the Love of my Life" By Jim Brickman!! It was so great I absolutley love him!! I guess the 6 years 8 months of dating payed off!! Look where we are now... We have had our hard times and struggles but all those have made us so much stronger and our love grow so much more!! I am so thankful that he is in my life and will be FOREVER!!
Dancing for everyone!! It was such a great time everyone got out on the dance floor and shook their booties!! My cousin was having the time of his life. I am amazed at how many people stayed and enjoyed the night with us!

We had our Luncheon at the Beautiful JSM Building Downtown. Griff and I were out on the Temple Grounds taking all our pictures with Ryan we asked him how we were doing on time and he said we will take these last shots and head in for lunch.. you guys will be right on time!!! Wow he had us in and seated right as we wanted to start. The Building is so amazing I love everything about it.

The Head Table!! Little did everyone know how nervous most of us were making sure we were all prepared to give our talk about the wedding and what not.. I know I was a nervous wreck I could barely get my lunch down I didn't even touch my dessert until after I was all finished and sitting down again!! It was so amazing to hear the famlies talk about Griff and I growing up together.. I can't believe that we have known each other and the famlies since we were 15. How crazy, Time sure does fly!!
The Parking Voucher Table!! Look at those amazing flowers, Wow Kudos to Jody Smith. She out did herself with our wedding!! The flowers were a hit Everyone loved them!! I was so heart broken when my boquet starting wilting and could no longer save them... Good thing we have MANY pictures to remember how beautiful they were! :D

Married SL Temple

Forever & Always <3

On August 24, 2010 Griffin and I went to the SL Temple to get married. It was the best day of our lives, It went to fast! The Temple is amazing I loved every minute of it!! As we were waiting to walk out of the doors we looked out the window and saw all our close friends and family waiting to see us as a married couple :D. As we were going to walk out our photographer told us to be careful not to trip over the first step right out the door... which made the walking in high heels part even more tricky! Well we made it out and heard all the cheers it was so amazing!!


I am now offically a Bland I felt like a Bland for 6 years so it is so amazing to be called Kristin Bland!!!



We could not have asked for a better day. The weather was perfect, and everything turned out excatly how we planned. Our Photographer was the best out there!! He made sure we were on time for everything but still got the most perfect shots of everyone. Thank you Ryan for all your time and energy for our wedding day!!
