The BIG day: December 7th, 2024
Tell us about your love story: Noah and I met at previous jobs, where I actually interviewed him and made a comment about how he was really charming and I thought he would be a great fit for the team. We were coworkers first, and over a 5 month period we slowly became friends. That friendship slowly made us realized there might be something more. Noah will say I made the first move, and I stand firm that he made the first move. Regardless of how it happened, it was amazing to fall in love with someone who instantly felt like my safe space. We dated for about 2 years and then Noah proposed. I was down in Florida with my parents, and I thought Noah was in Indiana working and taking care of our dog. He sneakily flew down to Florida and surprised me by standing in front of the otter den at the Mote Aquarium, where my parents were there to watch. Noah is not much of a cryer, so I was nervous he wouldn't cry on our wedding day. The second he turned around and saw me in my dress he started crying. He told me my dress was as dramatic as I am (which is true) and it was better than he could have ever imagined.
Words of advice for future brides: Find a few small details that are meaningful to you and your spouse and incorporate them into your day. It was so meaningful to have some easter eggs scattered into our wedding that people could find. For example, we got engaged in front of an otter den at an aquarium, because otters are my favorite animal, and we call each other our "significant otter". So our cake toppers were otters and everyone who knew our story really loved that little feature.
Share about your TWS experience: I thought I knew what type of wedding dress I wanted, but then I was scrolling through the instagram of The Wedding Studio Greenwood and I saw this one dress that I instantly knew was going to be the one. I told my stylist ahead of time what style I thought I wanted, but also mentioned there was the one dress I couldn't get out of my head that I had to try on. She had that dress waiting for me and had me try it on first. Before she even finished putting it on me I was sobbing. We tried on a few dresses after in the style I thought I wanted to be sure I wanted this first dress, but ultimately, that dress was just too perfect and it seemed like it was made for me. I had my closest friends and family with me and it was just the perfect day!
Share a special moment(s) from your big day: Our dog, Mackey, is a big part of our love story. I specifically chose my wedding venue because they were so dog friendly. Mackey got to be out of his cage and hanging out with my husband and all of the groomsmen all morning, and his presence really helped calm me. We had a custom fitted tuxedo made which matched my husband and he looked so handsome in it. We tried to involve Mackey as much as we could, he was there for our first kiss and he walked down the aisle with us as we were officially announced husband and wife. My favorite moment with him was when we did our cake cutting. My husband and I fed each other a small piece of cake, and then we smashed the cake in Mackey's which he LOVED!
