Candice & Doug

BRIDE AND GROOM Candice Clark and Doug Later BRIDE’S HOMETOWN Provo GROOM’S HOMETOWN Orem WEDDING LOCATION Draper Temple (ceremony), Thanksgiving Point (luncheon), Later residence (reception) HOW YOU MET We were both students at USU where I played soccer for the university’s women’s team. A girl I played soccer with was a friend of Doug’s, and she introduced us at dinner one night when we all went out. FIRST DATE We went to Cold Stone and then to a bonfire. FAVORITE DATING MEMORY On our second date, I was leaving his house and there was very little space between my car and the car next to me. As I was walking away, I received one of the most awkward side hugs I’ve ever gotten. WHAT ATTRACTED HIM TO YOU Direct quote, “Her eyes, I think. Something about her just caught my attention and I couldn’t stop looking.” SIGNATURE DETAIL The colors of Cold Stone ice cream cups floating around the yard. WHAT WENT WRONG The drinking cups were left outside during the day and melted, so my dad had to run and get more at Costco. He didn’t realize my dress was in the back of his car, and he left — with my dress — 10 minutes before the reception started. I almost freaked out. OUR SONG “Then” by Brad Paisley SOMETHING I’M GLAD I DID I took bridals with Doug there as well. We still took pictures on the actual wedding day, but we had others to choose from. It made the wedding day a lot more relaxing because we weren’t stressed about not taking enough pictures. FAVORITE PART OF THE RECEPTION How laid back it was. It wasn’t a come-and-go type thing; a lot of people came and stayed for a few hours. BEST PART OF THE DAY Coming out of the temple and seeing our friends and family that came to support us.
