The Christiansen Family

Our Wedding Day!

Kyle and I are not traditional people. We like to do things a little differently. We love to have fun and make a party out of whatever we can. So for our wedding-day we did things a little differently. We started with a luncheon at Big J's in Richmond; this way, everyone could come. They were able to order whatever they wanted. It was more like a party than a formal luncheon, which is more like me and Kyle. What a great luncheon it turned out to be.

Here is our cake. We did a Mad Hatter cake. It went great with the party.

Here we are with my side of the nephews: Jack, Wyatt, Hank Bob, and Sawyer.

This was absolutly the perfect day. I have always wanted a white wedding and that is exactly what happened. I prayed for snow and man did it snow. The night before our wedding and the morning of it snowed a ton. It did, however, clear up for our luncheon and drive to the temple. While we were getting married it was sunny and nice for the kids to play. As soon as we were coming out, it started to snow huge snowflakes. It was very pretty, it was perfect.
Here we are with my folks. They do so much for us and helped so much with everything. I really don't know what I would do without them. Thank you so much mom and dad for everything! You made our wedding perfect.

The two best sisters ever. They helped so much with the wedding. I love my sisters very much. I am so thankful for all their help. They really helped make our wedding great.
Here are my new inlaws! What a fun family they are. We are always laughing at something. I am so greatful for them and for all they do for us.

The first night we sailed to an island called Nassau. Kyle and I rented a crappy scooter and went around the entire island to see what Nassau was really like without all the tourists. We met some pretty cool people and saw some very beautiful beaches. This was our favorite part. After our butts hurt from ridding so much we went and walked around the huge flea markets. It was really fun to bargain with people.
The next day we went to a Disney owned island named Castaway Cay. We went to the adult beach on the other side of the island far away from most of the people so we could go snorkeling alone. Kyle and I went snorkeling....well, I went for about 12 minutes then got a little freaked out by the huge sting ray. Kyle of course tried to get me to stay in and snorkel longer but that freaks me out. Kyle ended up snorkeling with a momma sting ray and her little baby along with some other real pretty fish and a BARRACUDA!! What a crazy husband I have!

Our ship that we were on was completely re-built just a couple of months before, so it was immaculate! We ate at the really fancy restaurants and had a ball! The sunsets and the sunrises were beautiful.


Now we are in Rexburg, Kyle is going into Construction Management at BYU-I and I am trying to find a good job. We are living in my grandparents "apartment" that is next to their house. Well it was a work shed for the weight vest but they moved somewhere else and now we are making that into our home. All it is missing is a kitchen sink and a washer and dryer. We love living there. It is just perfect for us!
