We had approximately 160 friends and family members on our wedding day.
What did you offer for food/drink catering?
We offered our guests the classic hors d’oeuvres and added a Charcuterie board as well.
For our main course, we offered a choice of Atlantic salmon, chicken piccata, or vegetarian edamame dumplings. Everyone loved the food options!
What was the most magical, moving, or special part of the wedding for you?
The speeches were the most moving part of the whole day! Our matron and maid of honor, best man, and my dad brought us both to tears.

Our theme was rust and navy with touches of gold throughout. We had copper and cream roses for our flowers!

“If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys was our first dance. We always belt this song out in the car together over our 6 years of dating. We certainly did on our wedding day as well!

I wanted to look like a princess, so my dress was an A-line with a sweetheart neckline and a train of course!
Who walked you down the aisle?
My dad walked me down the aisle. He’s my favorite person ever and my false eyelashes fell off from crying during his speech.

We went to St. Lucia for a week and it was so beautiful! We enjoyed a catamaran cruise, a tropical couples massage, and went on a hike.
