Planning a wedding is a big deal and
finding the perfect location can be stressful. Are you looking for Pittsburg wedding venues? Look no further!
Today Jason and I celebrate our eighth
wedding anniversary!
It is so fun to look back at our special
day. After a week of early spring
rain/snow, March 26, 2005 was a beautiful day with bright blue skies. I was so
relieved!
We were married in a small ceremony in the Salt Lake City LDS temple
and after taking pictures with friends and family outside the temple (and we
were so cold, let me tell you!), we headed to Red Butte Gardens where we had
our wedding reception at the Orangerie. Our reception venue was so amazing! I
really wanted to have an outdoor reception, but since we got married in early
spring, we knew that was out of the question. We looked at a couple different
locations and struck gold at the Orangerie! It’s a glassed-in building used to
grow oranges and it made our reception feel just like it was outside, only
without the wind and freezing temperatures. We had a wonderful view of the
valley out one side of the building and a view of the snow-capped mountains out
the other side. Inside, the building was filled with tropical plants and trees
and smelled sensational. Plus, it went perfectly with our bright orange and
pink Gerbera daisies (just like the first flowers Jason ever brought me!) and
the clementines that were decorating our wedding cake. It was exactly what we
were looking for in a wedding venue! It’s so fun to look back at our wedding
album and see how young (and skinny) we were in such a beautiful location.
It’s hard to believe we’ve only been
married for eight years. It feels like a lifetime! And I guess after five
places of residence, two bachelor’s degrees, a law degree, and three kids, my
life is so different now than it was a decade ago that it kind of is like a
whole lifetime.
I’m so grateful for the happy life we have
built together!
