The day has come and gone! You know what?? My brother Matthew Colt Stewart is married and sealed in the temple for all eternity with Chantal Vaiola Salazar!!!!!!!
I have already made a post about them being engaged but now they are married :) And I have my first sister in law. And you know what I LOVE HER!!!
Teli (what we call her) is beyond amazing her and Matthew get along so well and our families talk to each other on like a daily basis.
I traveled up to Salt Lake with my family (meaning parents and Emily and Spence) went to our hotel and awaited the big day!! I am a picture person and so when we got to the temple that morning I went and had fun taking pictures of the temple when at that moment I was having a person sealed into my family. To my brother. :)
I got to babysit all of the little ones and let me tell you they are darling, not that I want to have kids anytime soon though. Just- a little FYI there haha. I was watching baby Mason when I felt my dad come up to me hug me and say that I now have a new sister. There were tears in his eyes and a big smile on his face. Of course I couldn't wait to see the groom and the bride and we all went outside when they said they were ready and I started snapping photos. They looked BEAUTIFUL and they just GLOWED with happiness. I couldn't be more happy for them, they already started their forever family by getting married in the temple and they know it :) They know it will make everything eternal :) I love that :)
Now let me tell you something Chantal's family total party city. I don't think that I have ever been to a more fun reception in my life. :)
There culture is just so out there that they did dances Teli performed, Matt performed (which was beyond freaking hilarious), her performance group was there. There wasn't a dull moment :)
I even cried. I did. I will be honest. There first dance as a married couple playing "Only You Can Love Me This Way" by Keith Urban. They were both singing to each other. Just looking at each other like nothing in this entire world could ever get better than that. It was pure Magic. I can't explain it any other way.
This post is mostly though to say congrats to them. To their righteous choice to be married in the one place that they could be together forever and wanting that. To their love of one another no matter what annoying habits could come in the way. They love each other and the Lord and between that they will always be in the righteous sight of the Lord.
I am proud of you both and I love you both.
Congratulations :)
