Tell us a bit about your wedding!

“Elegant and pure bliss! Champagne and Black were the main colors. The wedding and reception took place at the Owensboro Convention Center!”

What was your favorite part of your wedding day?

“Seeing each other for the first time that day at the first look was one of the best parts! Also seeing all the details come together that day was special!”

Did you two do a first look?!

“Yes! At first I was hesitant, and wanted to go for the more traditional. But Brandie sold me on the first look, explaining how we will have a more sentimental time if we do it prior to the ceremony! I also am glad we did it ahead of time and got all of the pictures out of the way ahead of time! It was very magical and super special!”

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

“We left the Monday after our wedding for our honeymoon! Next step in life will be to build our own little family!”

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

“He always makes me feel like a princess! His unconditional love for myself, his friends and family. His selflessness.”

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

“How much she loves her family and friends. How much she loves me. How she smiles at me.”

Bride, who was the most helpful in helping you pull off your dream wedding?

“First off, my parents hands down were the key people who helped me pull off my dream wedding! My aunt as well helped with anything and everything that we needed her to!”

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

“Don’t sweat the small things, no one else knows when something goes wrong besides you! Wait a day after the wedding before going on the honeymoon, makes for easier travels!”

Did anything hilarious/unexpected happen?!

“Yes, we unexpectedly had 2 groomsmen that injured their right legs and were both potentially going to be on crutches for the wedding with a brace. 😂 Luckily one only had a brace on and the other had one crutch, so in pictures were able to have all crutches and braces out of them for the most part!”
