The moment Carson first saw me in my wedding dress was captured by my dear friend Kaitlin O'Connor. To some, this moment appears to be just another cheesy Pinterest snapshot, but for me and for those who really know Carson and me, know how B-I-G this moment really was.
We fought to be here; we fought harder than most ever will to arrive at a moment similar to this one.
I got ready at my Grandmother's house, where my sisters, mother, and grandmother worked their magic and turned me into a beautiful bride. It was truly a sacred and special moment that I will keep with me all my days. They did my hair and my makeup. After which, we piled into the car and headed to SLC.
I was so nervous for Carson to see me. Which is extremely rare because I never get nervous around Carson. For goodness sake, we have been inseparable for four years and best friends for six. However, reaching this point, was the hardest and best thing I have ever had to do in my life. Walking on temple square in my wedding dress was yet another reminder of how miraculous this year has been. The view of today makes the towering mountains that we climbed together, this past year specifically, all worth it.
Chelsea went to go find Carson to blind-fold him and lead him over to where we were standing. My nerves subsided as I caught glimpse of him. I felt at peace. After a few cat-whistles and a giant hug from a stranger later ;), my future husband was standing in front of me.
I wanted to tackle him, I was so excited.
The moment I took his blindfold off, we both just started to cry. It was a moment I will cherish forever.
