From the bride, on how they met:
"I met him through a mutual friend 3 years before we got married. We met at a beer festival, and when I first met him I didn't actually like him. When we re-met a month later and he walked into the restaurant, it literally seemed like he was being backlit from heaven and angels were singing "AHHHHH" (cue movie scene). I was instantly struck by his gentle yet strong demeanor and his quick and sharp wit. A week later, we went on our first date and have been together ever since. He actually knew I was the one 3 weeks into our relationship. I was a little later- at about 6 months we went on our first trip together, and I fully realized how perfectly he complemented me, and how together we could accomplish anything- done deal after that."
On the proposal:
"Well I think it is :). We had been together 6 weeks and on a date night we went on a walk in this beautiful park and stopped over this bridge over a creek. He asked me how I thought the relationship was going thus far and I replied I thought it was going really well. In the back of my mind I was thinking "oh holy heck is he gonna propose???". He actually asked me to be his girlfriend that day which was super cute and super traditional. On our 1 year anniversary we went back to the same spot and had the same relationship check in talk. On our 2 year anniversary we went back to the same spot under the guise of "tradition". This time at the end of the talk he asked me to be his wife. I immediately called my parents and brother who for some odd reason seemed not super excited or surprised. I shook it off cuz after all I had a new sparkly thing on my finger to look at! We went to brunch afterwards and I walked in and my parents were standing there with his parents to surprise me! I got to be with all my loved ones on one of the most amazing days of my life!"
On the hair and makeup:
"I literally had no idea what I wanted. I had a trial done about 4-5months before my wedding, and was ok with it, cuz its not like I get all gussied up all that often so didn't have much to compare too. Again, my brilliant planner to the rescue- she said to me she wished I had more flawless look. I had no idea what she meant until I did another trial with the genius that is Renee from Ishnae beauty... after one trial I was hooked. Throughout the weekend and 5 different makeup looks, all I really had to do was show her my outfits, she created the rest- I'm still getting so many compliments on how I looked that weekend! It was totally Renee!!"
On the lenghas:
"I went shopping with my mom and cousin for several hours one day in Jersey, after trying on about 20-30 different ones, and feeling very disgruntled, I finally tried on the one I ended up buying. I can definitely say I had "that feeling", you know the one, the one all brides want to feel- that aha moment where you think to yourself- " I could see myself getting married in this". As far as my reception outfit, I had some ideas banging around in my head, through the help of the talented Prashe, she was able to streamline those thoughts and create the beautiful end product!"
