How did you two meet? Waka, world adult kickball association. But it turned out that we had a lot of mutual friends.How did he propose? He planned a suprise weekend get away planned up to the Williams house in fernindaia beach. We had a great dinner and as we walked back he proposed in the courtyard of the hotel. It was very romantic and thought out. The ring he gave me use his great,great grandmothers diamond.How did you choose your theme? Flowers? and overall wedding design? Oh man! I wouldnt say that our wedding really had a theme, i guess vintage\u2026 Ethan and i both love family and tradtion and we wanted to incorporate that, also we wanted it to be romatinic and comfortable. We made a chart with all the words we wanted to describe our wedding and I kept that in the back of my mind when\u00a0making a lot of the decisions. I\u00a0love\u00a0the color purple so I knew that I wanted that to be a main color, but an also wanted to incorporate green and orange to tie in the fall and the beautiful botanicals, the cummer is so pretty and I wanted to do something that would complement the surroundings.\u00a0 when it came to floweres\u00a0unstated elegance will never go out of style. I love hydrangeas and succulents and wanted to include those, but really Ann got my vision.What was the best part of your wedding day? When we \u00a0both said the\u00a0vows! I didn\u2019t think that part would be as powerful as it hit me, but that really was\u00a0great. Ethan really was moved\u00a0when i choaked up when i said that i take this man to be\u00a0my husband.\u00a0I also enjoyed the band and signature drinks, made even more special because our friend Julie made all of the syrups by hand for us.What do you want to always remember from your wedding day? Seeing Ethan as I walked down the alise. (though I may also remember the server laughing at me as I shoved appetizers in my mouth after the ceremony!!\u2019 who says you don\u2019t eat at your own wedding??) ethan says that he will always remember the first look and seeing me in my dress.\u201dIF I only I knew!\u201d what is one piece of advise you would give to brides planning their wedding day? Stay true to your vision and plan early. Also, if you hav the opportunity hire an amazing wedding planner. I don\u2019t know what I would have done without Christina.<\/div>\n
And where are you going on your honeymoon? Iberostar in Jamaica. And Melissa\u2019s Extras\u2026. I loved being able to incorporate lots of family touches throughout the night, our toasting glasses are Ethans grandmothers, we had pictures of both my parents and his parents wedding around. And I just love the way it turned out. I was so relaxed and really able to have a good time, I even got to sit! It really is so amazing to have all of your friends and family around you. I said from the very beginning that I wanted three things, to marry Ethan, for our friends and family who love us to be there, and for there to be\u00a0alcohol. We got all of theses and it made it a very special evening.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
