How did you two meet/How long have you been together?

We met on Tinder roughly 4 years ago and started dating 3 years ago.

How did your partner pop the question?

We were in Colorado snowboarding and he knew I wanted to go to the Ice Castles one evening we were there. I think he had it all planned that’s where he was going to propose but I obviously was clueless. Our friends were getting ready to take pictures of us, and once I turned around he was on one knee!

What was your favorite moment(s) from the wedding?

Our favorite moment was when we finally got to see each other standing at the altar. We hadn’t seen each other since the night before, I missed him so much in those few hours we were away!

Did you see each other before the wedding? If not, did you like waiting or would you rather have done it differently? Tell me why or why not!

We loved it! It was difficult all day but I would recommend it, it adds an additional layer of anticipation for the big moment.

Tell me about your dress. Where did you find it, how did you choose it, how did you know it was the one?

My dress is from Becker’s Bridal in Michigan. I actually bought another dress the day I went dress shopping and had buyers remorse so I called on Monday morning and asked them if I could get this one instead. I couldn’t stop looking at the photos I had with this dress on so I knew it was the one. IM SO GLAD I switched dresses too!

Please list any vendors here and your experience with them!

Cactus collective and everyone involved in our wedding day went above and beyond any of our expectations. From my million emails to handling 30 guests so elegantly- they were top notch!!!

Did you find a store/site that had everything you were looking for?

His tux is custom Joseph Aboud from Men’s Warehouse.

What’s one piece of advice you would give to other couples planning their own wedding?

Relax and let McKenzi do her job without stressing too much! It will all come together better then you’d expect it ever to.
