Favorite part of your gown: “I loved the detail of the lace at the top of the dress in the front and also the deep, open back. It truly fit like a glove and made me feel so beautiful.”
Why did you pick your dress: “I was torn between two dresses, and when trying them back on a second time, the tears started flowing so I knew I’d found my dress!”
The best part of the venue: “We loved the ceremony location of our venue! It was located at the end of an orchard and opened up to a beautiful, unobstructed view of the valley. With both of us being from the Pacific Northwest, it felt like a piece of home.”
How you met: “Dustin and I met through our friends; my teaching partner is married to one of Dustin’s best friends. They set us up on a blind date at Buffalo Wild Wings to finally get us to meet.”
How they proposed: “Dustin and I were in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with some family and friends. It was the final night of our trip, just after dinner, right at sunset when we went out on the balcony for a final picture when Dustin dropped to one knee to ask me to marry him!”
