A moment of your wedding day will you never forget?

I will never forget seeing my husband for the first time during our “first look”. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, that feeling of excitement and nervousness reminded me of the first time we met 4 years ago.

How did you know your dress was 'the one'?

I knew my wedding dress was the one because the dress reminded me of my relationship, beautiful, delicate, sexy, and romantic.

"I wouldn’t have done anything differently."

How did it feel when you put on your dress the day of the wedding? What was everyone's reaction to the dress?

When I put my dress on the day of my wedding, I felt so beautiful. I felt like I was living in my own skin, in the best version of myself. I felt comfortable and authentic. I just felt like me.

A detail that made your wedding special/unique?

Me and my husband have always said music is our love language. Last year my husband proposed in a small record store in New York. We felt it would be special to incorporate those details into our wedding so we had a vintage record player that served as our guest book, and we still use that record player til this day.
