Everybody hopes for a good “meet cute” and Andrew and Hayley definitely got theirs. Hayley had always told her friends that she knew she’d meet her forever love in a completely random way and sure enough, she met Andrew in the chip aisle of her local grocery store!
Andrew proposed the day before Valentine’s Day 2019 while they were in Vegas looking at houses. The original plan was to propose on Valentine’s Day but he said he “just couldn’t wait anymore.” That’s what we call a keeper!
This couple chose to be brave and get married during the pandemic lockdown so they did mostly everything themselves to prepare. Hayley did her own hair and makeup and looked flawless. I loved the color scheme they chose with pops of emerald green tying everything together. The two waited to see each other right before the ceremony which made for a really
special moment.
Hayley wore a gorgeous A-line Blakely Jones dress from Brilliant Bridal in Las Vegas. She was a little worried that she wouldn’t be able to find a place to alter her dress because of the shutdown. Luckily she found Mary at Las Vegas Wedding Gown Specialists who was able to alter it in just two weeks. Everything turned out perfectly!
They had their ceremony in the charming Eldorado Canyon location which was a perfect fit for their fun personalities. During the ceremony they honored Andrew’s father who passed away and it was so very special. There wasn’t a dry eye in the desert.
Their advice to other couples is “Try not to plan a wedding around making other people happy. Choose things and plan it in a way that’s perfect for you and your other half.” Here’s to many more years of happiness for these two!
