Kristen's Romantic Wedding
Our GL Bride this week is the beautiful Kristen, who walked down the aisle in our Maya gown. She and her fiancé tied the knot with a romantic wedding ceremony and stunning reception. In the following interview, Kristen shares her love story and how she became a GL Bride!
"Everyone said the dress was made for me."
How did you meet your husband? How did he propose?
Ha ha we went to school together, I knew James being Mr Popular in the whole school, he didn’t know me. My dad was his teacher. 10 years later after school, we bumped into each other and he persisted on taking me out for a date. I was so nervous and ready to drive around until my sisters told me to snap out of it…I’m glad I went.
How did you find working with the team at Galia Lahav, and how did you know your dress was 'the one'?
AMAZING! Everything was perfection, obviously! Before I was even engaged, I saw the dress online – I created an album ‘future wedding dress’, and I said to my sisters – this is 100% my dress in future, and I’ll add be adding a sleeve. That is exactly what I did!
"I remember feeling so happy and proud of everything I had planned for over a year, it all came to life!"
How did it feel when you put on your dress the day of the wedding? What was everyone's reaction to the dress?
EVERYTHING I could ever ever ever imagine my dress to be. Everyone said the dress was made for me. Which meant so much because I was so in love with every single detail. The sleeves were my favourite!
A detail that made your wedding special/unique?
My bouquet – I had 3 charms attached of my loved ones who have passed. Seeing my bouquet arrive on the day and see my charms with them with me – was a special and emotional moment I loved.
I also got my students to hand write on cards what ‘love is’. I placed these on my table arrangements. The answers were so cute and honest. Some of them wrote down that love is all about ‘washing the dishes every night’ or ‘taking away the nightmares’.
"I knew it was the ONE, so did both of my sisters and mum. "
