ABOUT THE COUPLE

“Michael and I met through mutual friends in college! We had dated for 3 years and as I was in my first grade classroom preparing for my third year of teaching, he came to my classroom one Sunday to “help” get things ready in my room. He ended up proposing to me in my classroom with just the two of us to enjoy the moment. We drove around to some of our closest family members’ houses to share the news that evening and it was a day I will never forget!”

WEDDING DAY ADVICE FOR FUTURE BRIDES

“Come into your appointments with a vision, but don’t be opposed to trying on different styles! I came down to two dresses that were TOTALLY different and I would have never thought that would happen! Picturing yourself at your venue in your dress is very helpful when choosing.”

when you knew your gown was “the one”

“I was torn between two completely different dresses. The ladies I brought with me helped me out tremendously by giving me their thoughts. I had my venue booked and the dress I said yes to just matched my vision perfectly. The dress was my missing puzzle piece that made planning the rest of the day flow seamlessly.”

FAVORITE ACCESSORY FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY

“The shawl is really what made my dress my dream dress. It created such an elegant, classic look for the first half of the day. Once it was time to party, I was able to take it off and create an entirely new, fun look for the reception.”

A SPECIAL MOMENT FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY

“After the wedding ceremony, my dad drove us away in the back of my Grandpa’s Model T car from the 1920s. We did this for fun, but it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the day. There were no cameras, no phones, nothing. We had our one single moment of silence together to simply enjoy the fact that we just got MARRIED! It was so special and is something we will never forget.”
