Bryan and I got married this last Saturday June 9, 2012. In my parents' ward house. The ward house and ward i grew up in. We will be going to be sealed for time and all eternity in about 1 year or so.
Bryan and i met online as a result of a free communication weekend and event on eharmony a year ago memorial day (around there). We started communicating and by the 2nd or 1st email in our free communication weekend or maybe after (as we had to go through the communication getting to know eachother and answering those questions etc.)
We both did not want to pay to communicate after the free event. We exchanged email addresses, phone numbers, friended eachother on facebook., by the 2nd email one night i was randomly on the computer talking to him and on youtube listening to country kind of songs and something went off in my head and i had the thought and said "I want to marry him (this guy!)
he was going to come up on the 4th of July weekend but, couldn't get off work. He had his vacation scheduled for the first weekend of august for a week. He left Texas on the evening of the 5th of August and arrived the night of the 6th (it's a 24 hour drive - longer because of stopping and resting etc.), we went to church on the 7th of August and had Jared and Lindsay and the girls over for lunch and to meet him. He got to meet Dakota the next day on the 8th as Dakota was at his mother's house. We also just "Hung out!" that day and was at the mall and started looking at rings- tried a few on., and just had fun. I got "Dolled up!" (got my hair done, we went out to eat and all that. He takes very good care of me. I Love him so much! i know he loves me so much.
On the 9th we hung out more.... went to the movies at Valley Fair Mall and after he's like "Let's go to the great salt lake!" we went out there and was walking around. walking on the sand and in the water. As we were walking we stopped for a minute. Not thinking anything of it. He then says "I'm fixen to do something... still not clicking in my head and i'm still not thinking anything of it... I was looking at the moon and the pretty sunset." I turn back around and when i did he was on one knee and the following was said "Heidi Gail Richhart will you marry me ?" Of course i said YES!!
I got to show him off to meet most of my extended family at our family reunion about 3 days later on that friday and weekend.
We have been through so much together. I came home on May 23rd, 2012 ahead of Bryan to be here as a result of my mother being involved in a major and serious car accident on May 15th, 2012.
Anyhow i was without Bryan for 2 weeks... The longest 2 weeks of my life. But, he arrived on the 6th - actually the 7th (last thursday) at 2:00 AM - we went to get our marriage license on the 7th & had our couples bridal shower that night, had a dinner for family and close friends we had about 20 people there., and then the wedding and reception on the 9th.
We got married at 2:30 PM we are greatful for all the people who came and for their love and support. We had approximately 70 people (if not more) at the ceremony and then we had the reception. We had so much fun and we had tons of people tell us how beautiful it was and how much fun they had. My bridal party and the groomsman were all wonderful. Very close friends. The processional was awesome.
I will post pictures taken later but, want to post one of the pictures our photographer took.
