Taking the plunge

After many years of reluctance and anxiety I finally took the plunge and..... got a blog.  I figure it's time for Chris and I to contribute to the blogging world since we have spent countless minutes (I won't say hours because that makes us seem like losers) reading blogs of our friends and family, hopefully our blog can supply as  much laughter and entertainment! Since we don't have kids, our blog won't be as excited as you old married folks, but ever since I graduated last May I have been craving for some kind of project to do so here I am, boring posts and all. I'm pretty bad at this HTML stuff (despite the fact I took an entire course on it in high school) so if our blog looks like crap there is your explanation, but hey, at least we are trying right?



Let's see, what's new in the newly formed Houghton household? Oh that's right, we got married! Chris and I were married on January 15 at the Dallas LDS Temple and I think I can speak for Chris and say it was easily the best day of our lives! We were so blessed to have our wonderful support system of family and friends there. The weekend started out with an amazing rehearsal dinner thanks to Ted and Hettie, the Reata in Ft. Worth was a great location for both of our families to come together and have a yummy meal!
The next afternoon we were sealed in the Dallas LDS temple. As I walked into the room where the ceremony was held, I had to take a mental step back in order to prevent my infamous tears from flooding the room, you could really feel the love.  That evening we had our reception which was fantastic! My family did such a great job getting everything together and my Mother was the best wedding coordinator a bride could ask for.



Thanks to both of our families and to our wonderful friends for taking the time and making the trip to come to our wedding! We love you guys!



Here are some photos from our wedding weekend!

These first two are samples from our photographer Emily Brenner, she was awesome!

We had the best bridal party! This is us with our sweet friend Megan; my other wedding coordinator.
