Favorite part of your gown: “Everything! I loved the glittery, flowy feel, the unique straps, v-back, and the floral train.”

Why did you pick your dress: “It made me feel so glamorous!!”

Why did you pick your venue: “We needed a place big enough, first off! But we loved the warm-colored interior, the gorgeous lawn for the ceremony, and hanging out.”

How you met: “We met in college at UAA. We had some mutual friends and we were in the same friend group for a while.”

How they proposed: “He set up a romantic picnic date out in Cooper Landing. After dinner we walked along the trail. When the trail narrowed out, he let me go ahead of him. He said, “oh hey what’s this?” I turned around and he was on one knee. We both cried like babies.”
