What was your favorite part of your wedding day?

Our favorite part of our wedding day was being able to see all our friends and family together enjoying the moment just as much as we were.

Did you two do a first look?!

We did do a first look at our wedding. We thought this would be an important part of our wedding day because it allowed us to have a private moment to celebrate and cherish “us” and our happiness. Plus it helps out with timing and getting as many pictures done as possible before the ceremony.

We could not have been happier! Our first look was such a magical moment for us. We were able to focus on how much we really love each other and realized how special the moment of marrying your best friend truly is!

What’s next? What are you two planning on tackling next in life?

We moved to another state, started new jobs, got married, and survived hurricane Ian! We are ready to taken on anything and everything that comes our way!

For the bride: What are three things you love about your groom?

I love how genuine, humble, and kind Tripp is every moment or everyday!

For the groom: What are three things you love about your bride?

I love how hardworking, determined, and selfless Haylee is. She is such a caring person and would give anyone the shirt off her back.

Bride, tell us a bit about who was the most helpful in helping you pull off your dream wedding?

Everyone around me! A team of my closest friends and family made this day possible! I cannot thank them enough!

Advice for other couples who are planning their own wedding right now?

It is okay that you cannot accomplish and plan everything on your own. Be willing to let others help out. Also, checklists are your friend with staying organized.

Did anything hilarious/unexpected happen?!

Well, we recently moved to Tampa, Florida and hurricane Ian decided to follow us from Tampa to Virginia! But no worries, our day we absolutely perfect even with a little rain!

We incorporated family members into our ceremony. We had Tripp’s grandmother marry us, my grandfather give an Irish blessing, and Tripp’s mother read the first Corinthian verse.
