One summer, when she wasn't even sure why she was living in the Kingdom of Provo, other than because of some hunch she had, she signed up for a dance class at BYU. It was a very romantic dance class. On the first day of class, she saw a very nice prince who was friendly, cute and was the most attractive of all the other princes in the class, so she decided to talk to him first. They chatted and joked, and even shared a few waltzes.
They became friends and she loved laughing and dancing with him. Unfortunately, she was so busy searching for the right prince that she was blind to his subtle signs and didn't realize what was right in front of her. So the class carried on and they remained, 'just friends' through finals and the end of the summer.
She left Provo to go back to the Kingdom of Rexburg only with a broken heart, and very fond memories of a dance class and her good dance friend prince who remained there. A few weeks later, the next semester started and she tried out for the dance team and made it, so one of the first people she wanted to tell was the dancing prince in Provo!
They stayed in touch every little while until one night on facebook, he hinted to her that he had liked her more than a friend during the summer but wasn't going to try anything unless he felt like he had even a sliver of a chance. She was aghast at how ignorant she had been and instantly felt that she should not only give him a chance, but see if things could grow to more than friends.
She remembered all the chivalrous and princely acts he had performed that she had been blind, or not given enough notice to, and she decided right then and there that she liked him back. More im conversations and then some serious texting took place and grew to long phone calls at night inducing her to make her entire trip back down to Provo for conference, to be for the purpose of spending enough time with him to decide if she should only court this special prince.
So she did.
They had a wonderful weekend full of paper towel moments and decided to court between their two kingdoms.
It was hard to wait in between each visit, but every time they saw each other, they knew more and more how perfect they were for each other. They were both scared of screwing things up and wanted more than ever for this relationship to work, so it took them a while to finally kiss. When they did, it was perfectly magical.
Over several months they fell deeper in love, and met each others' families and went on many more adventures. The princess decided that the long-distance-between-kingdoms thing, was too much and the prince helped her move back to Provo.
They quickly began talking about marriage and both decided it was something they wanted to work for.
The princess and prince decided that they wanted to get married in her favorite castle, the Portland, Oregon LDS Temple.

On August 14th, 2010, a beautiful but extremely hot (94 degrees) day, they began Eternity together. After a fun reception (and slight cake mishap), they left for a fantabulous honeymoon that included Crater Lake, golf ball sized hail, Yosemite National Park, losing his wedding ring and getting a new one a couple hours before the San Diego Open House.
