Delanie Foley & Christopher Nicosia 05.28.11 love story: We had gone to Dallas to look at places because I wanted him to move there, too. I ended up spending the day with a girlfriend at the spa (spur of the moment or so I thought - he had planned the whole thing!). Later, he picked me up because he wanted to show me a condo. The condo was all set-up, he proposed there because he had decided to rent it and make the move. My ring was something that we had chosen together. Matter of fact, we chose both of our rings together! the big day: During my venture to find the perfect dress I was teased that “my entourage” was with me. But really there was my mom, two sisters, and three best friends. It was the last thing I had expected. I had already picked a dress in Dallas, but before buying my mom wanted me to look in Memphis. I laughed and goofed off with all the dresses until I put this on. To add to my wedding gown I decided that my “something blue” would be my shoes. When it came to choosing the bridesmaid dresses I didn’t want to look back and think I can’t believe I made them wear yellow (or fushia) so it was easy for me. I went with black. I think the most anticipated moment of my wedding ceremony had to be actually walking down the aisle. I was just so excited it was finally happening. Then there was our first dance, Flower by Amos Lee. It was perfect! Chris and I picked three different cakes for the wedding…banana nut, Bavarian chocolate chip, and yellow cake. For the groom’s cake we decided to order Gigi’s Cupcakes and set them out for our guests! Overall I think that Chris and I just wanted to have fun. So many people had come in town to be with us, so we wanted to enjoy being with them and hope that they had as much fun as us. The wedding planning process: I chose Amy Miller Weddings & Events, my wedding planner, because we had heard so many great things about her. I love all the weddings she has been involved with! We (Moms really) did the candy table and hotel guest gift bags. We decided that a little DIY project would make the feel more personable. I think that I have been planning my wedding since I was little so it was all very exciting and different. For the most part, I think that I was excited to see projects coming to an end knowing that the big day was just around the corner. I like being able to mark things off my “to-do” list. For our honeymoon we went to Bora Bora and it was amazing. The thing that we have the most in common is travel. We love traveling to new places and seeing the world together.
