How did you meet your husband? How did he propose?

We actually met through a close friend at my mom’s house when I had a few people over when my parents were out of town. We went out that night and I could tell Chris had an eye for me but was playing hard to get. Little did I know our mutual friend had a crush on me and Chris was being respectful. Chris and I made plans to have dinner after work one day and when he found out I was single everything changed. We have been inseparable since. He proposed to me behind my family’s Key Largo home, I had no idea. we went to lunch at our favorite spot Lorelei’s and filled ourselves with strawberry daiquiris and conch fritters.
My mom texted me mid-lunch saying our neighbor was having a birthday party tonight. so when we arrived back home I didn’t think much of the chaos until Chris took my hand and said “I have to show you something” as I walked back to the beautiful setup.. I still thought it was my neighbor’s party until I noticed the photos of Chris and me on the tree and then it all started to click together as I read the marry me letters, and as I turned around there he was on one knee. It was the easiest yes ever. followed by a surprise from my closest family and friends. It was perfect.

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

It was all a dream…there is no other way to put it into words. I could not believe the day was here, the moment had arrived. I have dreamt of this over and over again for years. I remember feeling so nervous walking to the room where my dress was but the moment they zipped it on me all the nerves zipped away and I was so ready to show everyone. My mom gave me a kiss on my forehead like my dad used to and we were ready. Everyone was screaming and crying when I walked out with my dress for the first time, none of them had even seen a photo yet. It was truly so magical…
