In the following interview, Brooke shares her unique GL Bride experience along with the moments she'll treasure forever!

"I really couldn’t imagine a more perfect dress, especially in Italy."

How did you meet your husband?

The classy way, in a nightclub. We chatted for a bit that first night and then went our separate ways without exchanging numbers. A week or so later I went with a new friend to a guy’s house that she was seeing, low and behold Jeff was his roommate, and the rest was history!

How did you find working with the team at Galia Lahav, and how did you know your dress was 'the one'?

I loved it! It was so seamless and fun. I had gone to other bridal shops and just wasn’t loving anything. When I went into Galia Lahav, wedding dress shopping shifted into a memorable, and luxe experience. When I put it on, I just loved it. I have countless pictures of me prancing around the shop hugging the skirt of the dress. It is the embodiment of myself and Italy in a dress. Easy going, style, and timeless.

"When I put it on, I just loved it."

Who had the best reaction to your dress?

My husband! Early on I had asked him what he thought my dress would be, and he said long sleeve, and tightly fitted. He was (pleasantly) shocked it was so different than what he had expected. He also wasn’t expecting to actually care about the dress beyond thinking that it was just nice, he told me later it left him speechless.

What is one memory from your wedding day you will never forget?

I had secretly engraved something on the inside of my husband’s ring and just seeing his face when I told him was the best ever.

"My dress just made me feel so special and luxurious."
