The day finally arrived...the best day of my life. At least that's how it started out. On May 10, 2008, I married the love of my life in the Oakland, CA LDS temple and we were sealed for all time and eternity. (I know, scary) The morning started out hectic with all the girls trying to get ready in the same hotel room. But it made for good pictures!
Meanwhile, Richard and I headed to the temple....an hour late (of course my fault...but I had to look perfect right!?) After the quick but beautiful ceremony and some more primping, Richard and I finally got to make our grand entrance as Mr. and Mrs. Campbell!
When we got to the reception, the boys immediately took off to play football while the girls primped some more....and took some more pictures...
Finally the reception began. We had a ring ceremony which was nice for all the friends and family that weren't able to see the temple ceremony. Then the dancing began! I did a dance for Richard with my bridesmaids as my backup dancers. It turned out really good! Thanks girls!
We then did our first dance, the father/daughter dance, and some fun dances...and then....
I got so sick! Just my luck...right when the dj announced that we were going to cut our cake, I got nauseous and ran into the bathroom. That's where I spent the rest of my reception! I layed on the floor with my new hubby by my side the entire time! Finally, when I found enough strength, we went out to cut our cake...(I had to really focus on smiling so that I wouldn't dry heave from the smell of cake)...and throw the bouquet and garter. I was so out of it at this point, I didn't care that the back of my dress was wide open...oh well...I'm the bride...and nothing was going to ruin my day! Richard and I quickly took off to the hotel for the night to try and relax. But that was too much to ask for. I was sick the whole rest of the night. It actually got so bad, that my mom showed up and took me to the emergency room! Everyone said I looked like a drunk bride...nice. I was in the hospital until 8:00 am the next morning....two hours after our honeymoon flight took off... Luckily we made it to Cancun a couple of days later....it was a MUCH needed vacation!

We got some great pictures at the temple, even though everyone was complaining about how hot they were...
After the temple, we had tons of time before the reception. So we had to make a pit stop...guess where?!
