Married Dexter on June 15th, 2019
from Hafen to dake…
how did you know your dress was “the one"?
“When I tried on the Gia dress from Galia, I fell in love with the construction and the fit, but knew I wanted something more minimal. When I asked about customizations and discovered that Galia was known for customizing dresses, I knew this was the one I wanted to walk down the isle in. “

How did you know HE was “The One”?
“It took a while for me to believe that he was all that he seemed to be; handsome, charming, kind, loyal, employed, not living with his parents- I was convinced that he was a player, but it all checked out. We met on a Saturday, went on a second date on Tuesday, a third date on Friday, and saw each other pretty much every day after that. For the first time, dating didn't feel like a game or a power struggle- from the very beginning it was mutual adoration and generosity, and in that kind of trust, love grows freely. “

her favorite part
“Weddings are like a real-life fan fiction where people in your life who you never thought would meet come together. The overwhelming feeling of love and sheer joy was a high I'd never felt before, and has to be my favorite part of the wedding. I couldn't choose a single moment, every memory was is still so precious.“
how did you meet?
“We met at a bar in Dallas, where I was going to school at the time and he was working. He walked over with two beers and struck up a conversation, and we immediately fell for each other. It really made us both believe in the whole 'love at first sight' thing.”

Where did the inspiration for your wedding come from?
“I wanted our wedding to feel like a celebration of love for everyone there; like our guests were on a date and taking joy in each other. We had a flower adorning station at the entrance, and as our guests arrived, I wanted everyone to feel beautiful and present and like they were just as much a part of the celebration as we were.”
