Anyone that knows me, knows that I am not much of a party/event planner so I went as simple as possible in planning my wedding. I was only going to have one reception because I didn't want to plan a reception and an open house, but Jonathan being from Summit county meant that people would have to drive awhile to come to the reception in American Fork, so his mom talked us into having an open house in Oakley. She said she would plan it all, and she was awesome and did, and it turned out great! I didn't have to plan one thing of it, just show up! Best mom ever!
I pretty much planned everything for our wedding and reception in American Fork because if I asked Jonathan anything his reply was always "I don't care." So, it was very simple, but that was ok with me because I am a pretty simple person.
So, just a fun story that I remember because it is pretty significant to me is one day one we were up at Jonathan's parents house and we were talking about the temple we were being married in etc. I told them I was planning on having our wedding in the LDS Mt. Timpanogos temple because my grandpa was a sealer there and he could marry us. They asked me who my grandpa was, and I told them, and Jonathan's dad said, "Your grandpa spoke at my dad's funeral." Well come to find out mine and Jonathan's grandpas had worked at Geneva Steel together and were friends and when Jonathan's grandpa died, my grandpa was asked to speak at his funeral. Jonathan's dad pulled out the program from his dad's funeral and showed me my grandpa's name in there. It was a fun little experience, made me feel like we were really meant to be together.
