How did you meet?
Tinder 🙂

Where was your ceremony held and why did you pick this site?
Ceremony was at Academy of the Sacred Heart, where I went to school.

Where was your Reception held and why did you pick this site?
Reception was at the Westin, had great views.

What unique or special things did you do at the reception? 
We had flip flops to encourage everyone to dance, watching some grown men wear them was hilarious. We also had disposable cameras (I know BeeBe is going to get some amazing shots) but I wanted something a little silly and to see things from the point of view of our guests. Not going to lie, I am a little afraid to see what turns up!

Pick one moment in the day that was your favorite thing?
Finally being able to see Andrew! The first look was sweet and all, but being able to be with him the rest of the day. It was weird not to see him all day.

Who was your baker, what was the flavor of your cake? Was it delicious?!
Gambino’s did both cakes. The bridal cake was your typical wedding flavor with strawberry filling and the grooms cake was chocolate. The only bite I had of either was the piece Andrew fed me after we cut the cake! But everyone said it was delicious!

Did you do a first look? If so how did you feel about it? If not, do you wish you had?
I definitely wanted to do the first look so we could get all of the pictures over with before the ceremony. Andrew wasn’t completely sold on the idea at first, but looking back I am pretty sure he is glad we were able to get to the reception so quickly.

Did you have a coordinator or did you plan everything yourself? If you didn’t have a coordinator any advice for brides planning their own wedding?
Did all by my self! Best advice – be organized. I never went anywhere without my binder. Honestly, feels a little weird to go somewhere without now that the wedding is over.

What was your first dance song? Why this song?
I’ll Name the Dogs by Blake Shelton. We love our country music and although its not a traditional first dance song, we always found our selves dancing in the kitchen to it. We enjoyed having something a little faster and up beat for the first dance.

Band or DJ? Did they rock it?
Band! Jubilation was AMAZING. I literally never left the dance floor the entire night.

Anything else you want to say?
Thank you so much Beebe!!!!! I love how quick you work and I heard you guys were super helpful with my mom and the wheel chair. I can’t wait to see the pictures!
