And so it begins...

On Thursday, April 22nd, 2010 at 1:40pm Melanie Crandall and Nick Dueck were sealed for time and all eternity! We had a beautiful ceremony in the Salt Lake Temple with our family and friends. What a great it experience it was to be sealed forever to each other with those we love right beside us! The weather man forecasted rain and thunderstorms but luckily the weather man was wrong this time. It was a beautiful day with a blue sky and gorgeous colorful flowers in bloom. We took pictures for a couple hours during which my mom brought us some delicious See's candy to hold us over. She is the best! We then had a beautiful dinner in the Joseph Smith Memorial building. The food was delicious which was good because I was starving! It was so much fun to visit with family and friends. Thanks for coming and sorry if we didn't get to talk to you! At the end I threw the bouquet. Everyone told me to not throw it too high because it would hit the ceiling, but unfortunately I still threw it too high. Mae (Nick's niece and now mine!) was the closest and just picked it up after it hit the ceiling and came back down on my dress. She was so happy! Sorry to all the other girls. I should have practiced throwing backwards. haha.

For our honeymoon we went to California to go to Disneyland! It was so nice to just be with Nick and not have to worry about wedding plans, school, or work. We tried to go to the beach but the water was freezing! I guess we'll just have to go again! Disneyland was so much fun! My favorite ride was Space Mountain and Nick's was Splash Mountain. It wasn't crowded at all so the longest we ever had to wait in line was 20 min! We went out to eat a lot but we fortunately had a lot of gift cards to restaurants so thank you! We went to a few really good local places. One was called Ruby's which was out on the dock of Huntington Beach. That was really cool because you look out and all you see is the ocean! We also went to a little burger and ice cream place recommended by Heidi's boyfriend Dustin who is on a mission there. He said it was the best burger in town and it was!

Our honeymoon was so much fun but our normal life together is even better! When we got back from our honeymoon we stayed at our friends' home for one night but the new people decided to move in early so Alison (Nick's sister) was so kind to let us spend the night. The next day we helped Meri and Robbie move out so we could move in. We are living in their apartment for the summer while they live in CA doing an internship with Google. It is a great apartment! We are so lucky to live there! It has been fun to put our things up and have our own place. We didn't have a bed for a couple of days and were sleeping on a futon which actually wasn't that bad, but I definitely recommend getting a bed from Costco.
