Oh geez, I was tagged by Melissa Mort. (thanks lady!)
The abbreviated version minus the drama-
1. Where did you meet your husband?
At a Northern California young single adult conference. He traveled up from Fresno with some cousins and a few girls and I went, just returning that day from a trip to Utah, and being prompted by my mom to “just go” when I otherwise would not have. It was being hosted where I lived, in Fremont.
2. What was the first thing you said to your husband?
”Uhm, (looking at my friend) I think he just asked you to dance.” Nope, he had asked me. Awkward.
3. Where was your first date?
The conference was 2 days. We went to the movie “At First Sight” and had Jamba Juices right after.
4. Where was your first kiss?
How embarrassing to say. That night. Going into the movie. He kissed me. (Emma better never!)
5. Did you have a long or short engagement/courtship?
We met January 20th and were engaged 6 weeks later on March 5th.
6. Where did you get engaged?
On his families farm in Sanger (just outside Fresno). I arrived to flowers and a note that prompted me to go to up and down the street (most of his Aunts and there families live there) and find the right uncle or right barn for the next clue. By the time the last clue came around I had the cutest gathering of half a dozen of his little cousins following along with me. They sent me into the field and sat up on the fence and watched from the distance as Ryan got down on one knee. I have very distinct memories of looking back to those little cousins and watching them cheer and clap.
7.Where did you get married?
At the temple in Oakland, California on June 25, 1999.
8. How did the reception go?
My family worked really hard. We had a lunch (great Chinese food catered) earlier in the day with family and then that night it was a garden ice cream social theme at my parents historic home in Los Altos, CA. We had a vintage ice cream cart and a serious dance party. Really. We left running through sparkler smoke to our hotel in San Francisco.
9. How was the honeymoon?
We went to Cabo San Lucas. 5 days there in Mexico. Ryan got sick on the food from our one “nice dinner out” and I’m not one to love international “ flava” so much. But, great memories.
Okay, I tag:

Kathryn gave me a link to her blog and then I found one to yours. You do such a good job. I am trying to get inspired to do my own. You are awesome, what can I say?!

That was such a fun wedding! I still giggle when I think about you getting up from the sealing room because you had to go to the bathroom and Ryan's mom leaned over and asked him "Is she coming back?"
okay, i laughed so heard reading Susie's comment. You didn't leave the sealing room, did you?! that's hilarious!! I definitely have to hear your whole story now. That's a required story to share at our next VT appt. :)
Hey Aunt Susie-
Thanks for the memory:) Hence I had mentioned the "abbreviated" version. I still think I am such a dork. The first time I met his parents I was in there living room and sat on this old lazy boy and the WHOLE CHAIR flipped back with me in it. Then there was the time within our first couple of weeks of dating that my Grandma walked in on him in his "underwear" when he was changing at her house. Lovely. I truly tried to omit those moments and make us seem "cool".
