Our Story

Kyle and I met in kindergarten. Sadly, he does not remember me, but I sure remember that cute little boy sitting in the back row. Through elementary school, Kyle thought I was weird and I thought he was very handsome. My family moved into his ward/neighborhood when I turned 12, and I thought he was the greatest thing. We became good friends, and I grew to really respect him. In high school we tried dating, which did not go very well. However, both of us knew that we wanted one more chance to make it work. When Kyle came home from his LDS mission, the first night I visited with him was so wonderful, and it felt like coming home for me. We fell in love all over again, and he proposed January 22. Not too long before we were to be married, we found out that Kyle had been diagnosed with cancer and we had to move up our wedding day to not interfere with upcoming surgeries. Marrying Kyle was the best decision I ever made and the day was the happiest day of my life.

Their Style:
I wanted a vintage,eclectic, and romantic feel for our garden wedding. Finding the dress was quite the ordeal, but the wonderful consultants at Allyse's finally found my dress. I tried on the b2022 and fell completely in love with it! We altered the dress from a v to a sweetheart neckline and it was perfect!
We used Paige Davis for our photography and Debbie Hiller for our flowers. Both turned out beautifully!
My mom and I spent a ton of time sorting through different thrift stores looking for old bottles, crates, frames, etc. We ended up borrowing a lot of different pieces from neighbors and friends. Because it ended up snowing on our big day, (April 29, go figure) we had to move the reception from our garden to a church house. We rented live trees and shrubs from a nursery and it was absolutely beautiful! A favorite detail was our heritage display. We put up both our parent's and grandparent's wedding photo along with their wedding dresses. It was a neat way to honor them as part of the wedding.
I also wore my mother's wedding shoes and my great-grandmother's necklace.
Highlight of the wedding:
My favorite moment of the day was the peace and the happiness I felt in the temple. We had the opportunity to spend quite a bit of time in the Celestial room, and it brought the peace we needed during the previous week. We loved the feeling of love that surrounded us through that time.

Step One:Fall in Love
Our story starts when I was fourteen, and I met my best friend at EFY. Four years later at college, she introduced me to one of her good friends that she grew up with (my husband). I'm ashamed to say, I didn't have any interest in him. Eventually, he got my number and we spent a lot of time talking. A lot. We talked every single day and became best friends. I found myself falling in love with him. Sean asked me out on our first date in April. We went mini golfing and spent hours sitting in his car talking like old friends. I was completely smitten.On July 4th, we decided to exclusively date each other. We spent every single day together despite the 40 minute commute between us.On my birthday, May 22, 2011 he proposed to me at the location of our first kiss one year earlier. It was the most perfect proposal. We were married 2 1/2 months later in the LDS Bountiful Temple. Never has anyone made me so happy and feel so alive. He is my best friend.
Step Two:Plan the Wedding
Melissa and Sean used their favorite colors, pink and aqua, for their wedding palate.They used colorful cupcakes, lanterns, flowers, and bridal party outfits to incorporate them into their wedding.Her beautiful mock-mermaid gown was the b3030 in ivory. Jen Herem photography captured their personalities in both their bridals and on their big day. They had their reception at the Utah Capital Building Terrace in Salt Lake
Step Three: Get Married
Melissa and Sean were married in the LDS Bountiful, UT Temple. Melissa said that their favorite moment of the day happened between our wedding ceremony and reception. "We were starving but had little time because we had to get pictures taken. We went through the drive through of Carls Jr. (we never eat fast food, but we were desperate) and ate spicy chicken sandwiches. It was such a simple moment out of our busy day. It was a great time to relax and spend time together."
Step Four: Love How it All Turned Out
