Surrounded by loved ones, the two had a romantic backyard wedding complete with sparkling lights, white flowers and candles.

"It was so rewarding for me to see all of the little pieces finally come together."

How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.

We met at a mutual family friend’s wedding in Montreal! Our families have known eachother forever but somehow we never met. He was living in Montreal and I lived in Florida. Towards the end of the wedding my aunt had some sort of revelation and ran up to Anthony, said I have to introduce you to my niece, you would be perfect together!

I’m dancing with my cousins and see my aunt storming across the dance floor dragging this insanely tall man behind her and she stops in front of me and says “Jessica this is Anthony, Anthony this is Jessica, take a picture together!” We ended up talking the rest of the night and every day since! We dated long-distance Montreal to Florida for about 2 years before he proposed!

How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?

I have been a fan of Galia Lahav for a long time and was always looking forward to trying on their dresses! The process of getting my dress was so seamless and amazing I have absolutely no complaints! Once my dress came into the store I had a few fittings to make it fit perfectly and the team at Boca Bridal was incredible!

"...in the end, I knew I would end up with Galia Lahav."

How did you find your perfect dress?
I made sure to look at every single designer and wedding dress store before making my decision because I didn’t want to have any dress regrets! I looked in multiple stores in New York then finished my search in Miami and Boca. I found multiple stunning dresses that I loved but in the end, I knew I would end up with Galia Lahav. I had so many pictures of dresses I loved going into my search but actually ended up with one that I had never seen before on GL Instagram or anywhere else! I found the dress at Boca Raton Bridal and the day I tried it on for the first time, I tried on at least 10 others but I saved that one for last because I knew it would be the one. I was worried that after a year and a half of having the dress I wouldn’t love it anymore, but I put it on again for the first time about a month before my postponed wedding and It was even more beautiful than I remembered!

What moment from your wedding will you never forget?
I will never forget the moment I walked down the aisle. I had insane anxiety about that moment since the day I got engaged. I don’t love when the attention is all on me and I had major fears about that moment. As the bridal party started to walk down my heart was pounding knowing that my turn was almost up. My parents told me it’s time to go and as we turned the corner to step onto the aisle, it was like all of my emotions just hit me at once. The fear completely went away and I just got so emotional as I walked down the aisle to my husband. I don’t remember seeing anyone besides him in that room. And once I made it to the Chuppa I just remember feeling a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and I was finally able to fully enjoy the moment and the rest of the night! I regret spending so much time filled with anxiety because I could never have anticipated the power of that moment. It is definitely something I will never forget.

"My advice to GLBrides would be...Don't stress over things you can’t control."
