Earlier this season, Pam and Jim of The Office got married. As they were driving to their wedding they had this conversation:

Pam: Hey my aunt told me something neat.
Jim: Yeah?
Pam: She said everything with the wedding goes by so fast we should try to take mental pictures of the high points.
Jim: Oh, wow, that’s cool.
Pam: Yeah.
Jim: (mimes taking a mental picture) Click! Oh, you blinked. Dammit, now that’s in my brain forever.
Pam: Oh.
Jim: (mimes scrolling through his mental camera looking at mental pictures) Lousy picture.
Pam: We should have hired a professional to take the mental pictures.

Here are 14 of my mental snap shots from our day, in almost no particular order other than the order they were thought of. Each of these could easily be a story all on their own, but for now, just a snap shot. 42D

  1. A morning run with my dad.
  2. The cute old lady telling me my bridegroom waits.
  3. Hiding behind the door with Brett.
  4. Looking in Brett’s eyes and being completely calm.
  5. Snow so bad we though we’d passed the temple, and then absolutely beautiful weather for pictures.
  6. Our photographers completely geeking out together.
  7. Brett singing to me and wondering if he’d practiced enough to not cry, because I was.
  8. Walking across the street to take pictures from where most people take them.
  9. Brett warming his hands in my coat.
  10. Taking a moment in the Celestial Room after the sealing.
  11. Being in the temple with all those who got us there.
  12. Having Grandpa there with us.
  13. Our first dance together.
  14. Dancing with my dad.

Brett and I are working on a combined “scrap book” of mental photos from our whole weekend. You’ll find it over on Ooh Shemo when we sit down to put it up.

    (This was the comment I was going to make last time I tried. I just remembered.)
