How did you meet? We met online. We messaged each other for about a month. During those messages I told him once that I was going to New York for a wedding and the day I arrived in NY, he messaged that he hoped I enjoyed time with my family and the wedding. He remembered! I knew then that I had to make plans for a first date when I came back in town.
How did the proposal happen? It was just a couple weeks before leaving on vacation to London and I came home from work after a long day. He sat on the couch next to me and told me he had something to tell me with a concerned look. He waited for my worry to settle in and with the words “I don’t think I can take this on the plane” he presented the ring box opened with my engagement ring. It was a moment just for us. Where did the wedding take place? Royal Horseguards Hotel in London. Many ask me why London since we live in the States and that’s not a “normal” wedding destination and to that I say “Give me a good reason why not?” What the bride wear? The wedding designer is Lazaro and it was the first dress I picked out. I tried on others but the first one is where I landed. What did the rest of the Bridal party wear? Long gold sequin dresses with low backs.
What was your theme? We didn’t really have a theme per se. It was more of a feeling we wanted our guests to have. London and the wedding venue gave it an old world feel. It was very winter classic. Describe your cake Classy and understated.
Something Blue? The groom and groomsmen wore blue tuxes and I had a blue stone in the bottom of each of my wedding shoes.
