our wedding

We were married in the oakland temple on february 26th (I know that was 5 months ago and I'm super late in posting it) It was the best and most important day of our lives.

Luis' mom got to come too! Which is a very big deal. I was completly nervous to meet her. She is a beautiful woman and very nice. I loved her imidiately!



My brides maids were my sisters,(from the left) Bernice, Brooke, Jill, and my best friend, Janie. They all did a great job putting up with the dresses i made them wear. My little sister, Haleigh, was a junior bridesmaid and my little flower girls were Jills baby, Sarah, and My new adoptive neice Danika. They were so cute in there little dresses and jackets.

Luis' groomsmen were(from left) our good friend Kevin, my oldest brother Eric, our friends karl and Efren. It was very nice to have them all there.

Since it rained, we were able to use the temples nice white umbrellas, which helped when it came to the picture taking

The cake was made by my Aunt. She pretty much makes ALL of the family wedding cakes. and boy is she good at it!

Pretty much, it was the perfect start to our lives!

Engaged

After the corn Maze, I decided that I really liked this handsome man. So i flirted for a week then got date two. Yay! He picked me up, signed one of the famous bullets that my dad makes all the boys sign. Then about 2 months latter(ok, more like one)

TADA! We got engaged! (Duh) We told my parents, who had a confusing reaction. My mom was freaking out, but then told me that she knew we were going to get married since the first time he picked me up. I just remember thinking, "Well I would have liked to know." and "Why are you freaking out!"

We got busy preparing everything for the day. It was hard to choose a day, and figure out where we wanted to have it. My mom did do most of the work. I was sorta in that "I just want to get married." mind set. She made the invitations which were super cute, AND the brides maid dresses.

My cousin, Jamie, took our engagement pictures, and as you can see,

they turned out super cute. She is an amazing photographer.

My sister threw both my Bridal Shower and Batcholorett party. They turned out to be super fun. Jill did a very good Job.

The weeks went by and got crazier. Note to all brides, always try wedding dresses on even if your going to order them at the store. As it turned out, what I thought I wanted, and what I actually wanted were not the same thing. I picked one out online that I was sure I was the one. After I tried a couple on, that dress became a little ugle. When I finnally found THE DRESS, It had to be altered and cleaned. I got it the week before my wedding. I know that is cutting it close, which would have been ok...If it had actually fit me. The alterations almost did the opposite of what we wanted.

Thank goodness my mom is a seamstress. She fixed it herself. Shows you EXACTLY how good she is. (And she is good)

Then the day came.

The Begining

October, 2009, Luis asked me (Lisa) to go to the corn maze with him. A lot has happened since then. And I mean a lot! Seeing as I'm a little late on the whole "blog" thing, we are going to fast forward a little bit. I'm very new to this whole blog thing, so bear with me as I get used to everything.
