Love Birds
Soon to be twice as Smart :)

About Me

A country girl from Washington meets a handsome man from Utah, they fall in love and are getting married! I am so excited to become Mrs. Smart! My brothers say "I'll be one of the first blondes to become Smart" lol, too cute. Anyways, in this happy and exciting time, Matthew and I thought it would be great to create a blog where friends and family alike can follow us and learn a little about the happy couple! A place where engagement pictures can be viewed, our how we met story, the proposal story, of course, and our info concerning the big day! IE: times and locations for the ceremony, and reception center, the reception center link, directions, registry, and other tid bits. We want to include friends and loved ones that support us and want to include you in our happiness as a couple! We can't wait to start a life together and are so excited we have people like you in our lives!

Touching base, here comes JULY! Have you received your invites?

We are happy to hear that people have started receiving their invites already! We definitely put a lot of work into them and we appreciate all the compliments we have received. If anyone is interested in the invites, you can check out her blog at:  Flash Jorgenesen Photography


We are so excited for the events we have planned over the next couple of weeks. It is definitely going to start getting busy. Tomorrow is Matthew's brother Logan's birthday. Matthew moves into our apartment on the 2nd. We have the 4th of July on Monday. Vanessa's parents and brothers will likely arrive in Utah on Wednesday the 6th. We have the Wendt Family (Vanessa's mom's family) reunion on the 8th and 9th. It is Terry's birthday on the 11th (Matthew's dad). Matthew's birthday is the 13th. We have our wedding dinner on the 15th and then the big day on the 16th. Wow! Did we mention that we are looking forward to the honeymoon?


Speaking of the honeymoon... It will definitely be nice (total understatement). Since our wedding reception is during the day, it opened up the opportunity to spend some time traveling in the car on our wedding day. A good family friend, Kevin Hagen, is letting us use his cabin Saturday night and Sunday night. So after the reception, we will be taking a short road trip to Bear Lake where we get to spend two nights at the Hagen's beautiful lakeside cabin. Monday morning is when it gets really fun. We will be coming back to Salt Lake and hopping on a plane to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We will be staying at the Worldmark resort for 5 nights! Thanks to the Kiser Family for letting us use their timeshare!


Another thing we can't wait for is our wedding video! We spent some time with Lilly McDowell, our videographer, on Monday. We had a lot of fun and she was great with us. As you could imagine, we were both a little awkward with the camera at first, but after awhile Lilly had us being goofy and having fun. At one point, both Lilly and Matthew were sitting in the front seat of his car as we drove up to Suncrest, definitely not something we recommend doing. Lol! The date video will be on display at the reception. Check out some of Lilly's other date videos here:  Picket Fence Films


We hope to see everyone at the reception! Please RSVP if you haven't already done so. Also, if you haven't received your invitation, please let us know ASAP. Unfortunately, we received some "return to senders" in the mail, but we will definitely make sure to get you one if you let us know that you haven't received yours.
