4 years, 8 months
HOW DID YOU MEET?
We met at work at a previous company.
WHAT ARE YOUR WEDDING COLORS AND/OR THEME?
Our wedding reception colors are purple, silver, and white. There is not much of a theme to the reception, but we definitely wanted the atmosphere to be inviting to our closest family and friends.
IS THERE A DETAIL ABOUT YOUR WEDDING OR RECEPTION THAT YOU CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR GUESTS TO SEE?
We got married in Hawaii and we're having the reception two weeks after we get back. It was just the two of us for the actual ceremony so we really wanted to bring something back for our family and friends to see. We had the wedding recorded, including photography, and we'll play this at our reception during the dinner hour. We can't wait for everyone to see it!
IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL YOU'RE DOING TO PERSONALIZE YOUR WEDDING OR RECEPTION TO MAKE IT UNIQUELY "YOU?"
We have done lots of stuff ourselves, like our favors and invitations, so we have personalized a lot of those things. We picked our favorite colors and an awesome wedding cake topper with the bride and groom running with a football. We just chose what we liked when it came to the small details.
WHAT'S SOMETHING YOU'VE LEARNED AS YOU'VE BEEN PLANNING YOUR WEDDING?
It can be stressful!...and that's okay. We both got to a point where we realized it will all come together and to stop worrying so much about it. The people / vendors we chose have been so helpful that it became easier to trust them with the harder stuff so we could really focus on the smaller / easier details.
ANY ADVICE FOR OTHER BRIDES-TO-BE?
You will know when it's right. For the longest time we couldn't find a place to hold the ceremony. We are both shy and wanted to really focus on each other instead of everyone looking at us! So we opted to have a more intimate ceremony and celebrate with everyone at a later date. Not everyone was thrilled at first that we decided not to have the "traditional" ceremony, but we did what was right for us. In the end, it has all come together and we will have even more time to spend with our guests on the day of the reception.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?
Have fun!!!!
