A moment of your wedding day will you never forget?
It’s hard to choose—there were so many magical moments. From getting ready with sound bowls playing in the background, to a bald eagle, blue heron, and crows soaring above our ceremony as our rings were blessed, to dancing the night away at our silent disco—every part holds a special place in my heart.

But the moment that lives in my body forever is this: as Mike began his vows, he gently let go of my hand. I suddenly felt wobbly, almost like I might float away. I asked him to hold my hand again—and as soon as he did, I felt instantly grounded. That single gesture reminded me of exactly why I chose him. He listens. He’s present. And with him, the world doesn’t just feel safe—it feels limitless. That moment was the essence of our relationship.

One thing you wish you knew as a new bride? What advice would you give to future brides?

Make your wedding feel like yours. Trends come and go, but your story is timeless. Even while running a business, I was deeply involved in the planning, and I’m so grateful I was. Every detail—agate name cards, lush florals, and meaningful rituals—reflected who we are as a couple: spiritually grounded, intentional, opulent, and community-focused.

A detail that made your wedding special/unique?
Sedona wasn’t where I originally imagined getting married—but once I moved to Arizona to be with Mike, it felt like destiny. After so many special weekends there—our first New Year’s Eve, spontaneous road trips, hikes at sunrise—it became crystal clear that this was the place. On our wedding day, standing among the towering red rocks in total stillness, I knew deep in my soul it was always meant to be. Sedona isn’t just beautiful—it’s sacred. It anchors you, awakens you, and connects you to everything that truly matters.

Would you have done anything differently?
Honestly, no. Our cocktail hour ran long because we lost track of time taking sunset portraits, and bustling the gown took a little while (worth it—have you seen that train?!). But I wouldn’t change a thing. I was sipping champagne, nibbling lobster rolls, laughing with my new husband while my planner and team worked their magic. And before we even cut the cake, guests were already saying it was the best wedding they’d ever attended.

What was your favorite part of the wedding to plan/you were most looking forward to?
The gown and florals! I’m a Libra, so beauty, romance, and balance are non-negotiable. Seeing those visions come to life felt like a real-world fairytale.

How did you meet your husband? How did he propose?
Mike and I met on Bumble—he was in Scottsdale, I was in San Diego. After three weeks of calls, texts, and late-night FaceTimes, he looked at me one evening and said, “I’m flying out next Tuesday to take you to dinner.” And just like that… it began. About a year later, he told me we had a business dinner at Christopher’s at The Wrigley Mansion—a breathtaking, historic estate with Michelin-starred dining and sweeping views of the valley. A week before, he reminded me to dress up—which stood out, since I always do. That night, I had a feeling: this wasn’t just dinner. I picked the perfect outfit—just in case—and the entire evening, he kept me guessing. Then, surrounded by rose petals and overlooking the lights of the city, he got down on one knee. I left my body.
To my surprise, our close friends—who own a media company—appeared from hiding to celebrate and capture every moment on camera.
After dinner, Mike turned to me and said, “Are you ready for part two?” He had reserved a luxury suite and filled it with more rose petals—floor to ceiling romance. Every detail was intentional, thoughtful, and completely us.We
