Married At Last!

The Chinese babe and the American gangally guy finally came together and got married. Yeah! Thank you mom and dad for all your work planning the wedding, to Stacy for a delicious wedding cake, to Kerri for helping Sharon with her makeup and making her even more beautiful than ever, to Joedy for helping Sharon get ready, to people in the ward for helping with flowers, to all my family and friends who came to the wedding, to everyone who gave us gifts so generously, and to everyone else who I can't name. Everything about the wedding was perfect, and it was a night Sharon and I will every be grateful to have shared with everyone.

Here are a few pictures to prove how amazing things were:

Sharon, the angel, descending down from above. You might have noticed my eyes get misty when I saw this.
Her walking ever closer to be my wife.
Man and wife!

Man and wife again! Actually, this was taken right before the ceremony. Man and almost wife.
Beautiful bride.
And my great family.

The honeymoon was great, and as a bonus we even got free tickets to Disneyland. On Sunday, we dressed for church and were going to the Hotel lobby to check a phone book for a church address. On the way down in the elevator, we talked to a man and his daughter and made a joke about him holding some pink slippers in his hand. He said they were his wife's, and said we could have them. I told him he couldn't give out his wife's slippers like that. 5 minutes later, in the lobby, he approached us and said he had two tickets to Disneyland they couldn't use (in other words, he asked us if we wanted $150)! We were amazed and grateful. Disneyland was fun, I've never heard Sharon scream so much. Aside from this, good sea food, tandem rides on the beach, chilly dips in the ocean, and camping on the way home made for a great time.

Now it's back to real life, but as Grandma told me: life is sweeter when you have someone you love to share it with. Can't wait.
