Describe Your Wedding Vision 

We wanted our wedding to reflect us in every way. Nothing over-the-top—just a day that felt like us. We wanted our guests to feel comfortable, have fun, and enjoy themselves. For the ceremony, we wanted it to focus on our love story and the idea of two people entering a partnership, rather than following a traditional script. 

Describe Your Wedding Day 

Our wedding day started with a few hiccups, but nothing we couldn’t handle. The girls began getting ready while we, the bride and groom, shared breakfast and exchanged day-of gifts. We then headed to our respective getting-ready rooms—the girls continued with hair and makeup, while the guys hung out, had drinks, and watched sports. Taking pictures was one of our favorite parts of the day; Brandi and our wedding party showered us with so much love. Our ceremony was relaxed, lasting about thirty minutes. During cocktail hour, we mingled with our guests and took pictures with almost everyone. From there, we moved into the reception. While dinner had a few small hiccups, the rest of the evening was unforgettable. We barely left the dance floor, and the entire room was filled with love. We ended the night with the wedding party, enjoying a few drinks downtown. 

Your Advice to Engaged Couples 

Do whatever makes you happy. You’ll hear so many opinions, but at the end of the day, what matters most is what the two of you want. Spend as much time together as possible—the day will fly by, and you’ll be pulled in different directions. Most importantly: you will have so many different special moments throughout the day. Take a minute to take in your surroundings. Even better, take a moment to do this with each other whenever possible.
