How did you meet?

We actually met in middle school. We attended the same school. We were friends in high school, but lost touch when we went to college. We ran into each other while I was on my spring break, and the rest is history! : )

How did he propose?

He actually flew to Memphis, TN while I was visiting my parents for the Christmas holiday to surprise me, and proposed as soon as he walked in the door in front of my family.

How did you chose your theme, flowers, and overall design?

I have always loved the color fuchsia, and I wanted my wedding to sparkle, which is where the silver came in. I told my florist/event planner my colors, and he actually took care of all the decorations after he heard my general vision.

What was the best part of your wedding day?

I was obsessed with my ceremony! It was beautifully decorated, and I loved how the pastor made it such a personal moment for me and Theo. It was like we were the only ones in the room! I also heard my motley crew of flower girls and ring bearers looked adorable walking down the aisle!

What do you want to always remember from your wedding day?

The look in my husband’s eyes when he first saw me in my wedding dress. It was a look of true love that I hope I get to see many times “til death do us part.”

“IF I only I knew!” what is one piece of advise you would give to brides planning their wedding day?

First look photos are a must! It is great personal time between you and your future husband, and it gives you more time to enjoy your actual wedding. Do not let tradition get in the way of enjoying your day!

And where are you going on your honeymoon?

We are going on a 7 day cruise to the Western Caribbean! It is going to be a blast, and we are so excited!!

Any other extra notes or details?

Theo and I felt it was important to make sure the wedding embodied who we were as a couple. I also wanted Theo to play a role in the details of our wedding day. He is really big on clothes, and has a great sense of style so I allowed him to have sole control over all of the tuxedos. He did amazing matching the style choice and color to the wedding. We also added personal detail to our table numbers, which included small facts about us as a couple. Planning those small details together was what made our wedding day so great and meaningful to both of us.
