After the engagement, we started to plan. The planning was quite difficult for Taylor and I. We had many different ideas of where we wanted perform our ceremony. First, Costa Rica. Cons: The distance, family members would not be able to afford the trip, we would have to hire an expensive attorney to be there and witness the wedding, find a place to get married the day we got there, finding a hotel close to the place we wanted to get married, where to find decorations, marriage licenses are different and more difficult to receive because we are American citizen, and it goes on.
Pro: It would be original, romantic, memorable and pretty awesome location. The cons out weighed to pros so we decided, no. We did the same pros and cons list with Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic. We even had crazy ideas like, getting married while sky diving, getting married on Corona arch in Moab and after our " I dos" we would repel of the arch, being strapped up to paralleling harnesses on the beach and after the "I dos" fly off into the sky, and getting married on the crazy looking rocks of Goblin Valley .( One of Taylor's favorite places) All of those ideas were fun and exciting to talk about, but something I really wanted was my family there. We finally decided we wanted to get married close to a temple so we would be able to go back to that area and get sealed. So we compromised and decided to get married in a secret canyon near Snow Canyon, St George. This was adventurous, family could come, hotels were cheap to find, affordable, and an awesome original place to get married. It was perfect! Besides the fact that the couple days before the wedding was kinda crazy.
We actually had to plan the wedding 2 weeks earlier because Taylor and I messed up and scheduled the cruise for our honeymoon early. What ding dongs we are! When I told my mom we where changing the plans of our wedding once again, she started to cry/laugh. We had changed the date and location so many times she just couldn't help but break down.
Taylor's parents were not that happy either because they had just returned from 18 month mission in Hawaii and a month vacation in Indonisia. We actually couldn't conntact them while they were in Indonisia so when they returned home they got a huge suprise! Not only did there last son get engage, but he was getting married in a month.... SURPRISE MOM AND DAD! People thought we were crazy but couldn't expect anything different for Taylor Ogden. Our final date was quite ironic and appropriate for us two knuckle heads, April 1st, April Fools day! My mom said it was destiny!
