Ben and Kayla Beard: August 2011

It's official! The papers are all signed and the name change is in progress. We had some hiccups the day before and early in the day trying to get everything together but when it was time to walk down the aisle, everything was perfect. So happy that Billy and Jim were able to play for us and then Billy and Angela surprised us with a song they sang for us. Absolutely beautiful! I did fight my tears back through everything until everything was done, my mom stood up and started sobbing. :) Ha, ha oh leave it to mom to make me emotional. It was so perfect though, I wouldn't change a thing! We hired Kassie Crapo to do our photography and she did great! I only have a couple pictures from the wedding that are professional and none that are from family so I'll have to update some more.

Jessica did my bridal shower cake and the cupcakes for the wedding. The shower cake was so fun and oh so good! I was never able to try the cupcakes but everybody was asking who made them and that they were heavenly. Look how pretty they are!! Thanks, Jess!!

For the honeymoon! ;)

I was going for simple. I loved my cake!

My bouquet was made up of red Gerbera Daisy's, Lilies, Wheat, some Baby's Breath and greens. It was exactly what I wanted.

Aww, this picture makes me melt. I love us.

We drove to Vegas for our honeymoon. We stayed the first night in Mesquite. I won a little playing poker at a machine at the bar. FIRST time ever winning while gambling. I guess it's a good time for first's! :)

Then, we were off to Vegas! The first night we went to an obnoxious time share. We figured we could use the free stuff they give ya. Those people are good! I would have bought a damn time share had it not been for Ben! Of course we had to get some drink in Vegas, I mean it was 107 degrees. One of my favorite all time drinks is a Tickled Pink, it's bliss! Ben tried my Tickled Pink drink.......

Ben thought it was a little sour... and cold. He said we should probably heat the ice up a bit.

I, however, loved it!

We went to see the Tigers and Dolphins (of course) first and we went to the shark reef. We got discounted tickets to a show but didn't go. Gambling seemed like a better idea at the time.
