<\/a><\/p>\nQ: You and your hubby are so cute! How did you know that your partner was the one?<\/strong><\/p>\n “I knew Steve was the one when he was willing to hang out with me at strange hours of the night. I worked overnights at a news station when we first met, so we’d regularly hang out at like 10:00 pm on a Tuesday. Q: Who was the most nervous on your big day?<\/strong><\/p>\n “Probably Steve. Real talk, I had some mimosas so I was fine. I was excited yet surprisingly calm. My bridesmaids and I had an awesome, relaxing morning at the salon.”<\/p>\n Q: If you could relive any moment during your wedding day, which one would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n “Probably our vows. We both wrote our own so they were really special and personal. I’m a sucker for personal vows.”<\/p>\n Q: Celebrating your big day means making tons of decisions. What was your favorite part of the planning experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n “Definitely cake tasting! We had pumpkin and s’mores cupcakes. I still think about the marshmallow frosting. It was also cool to see all my DIY stuff become cohesive. I spent a ton of time making decorations and things. I love crafts so it didn’t feel like work at all. Seeing everything in its place at our ceremony and reception was so rewarding and awesome.”<\/p>\n Q: What inspired you to choose your wedding colors\/theme?<\/strong><\/p>\n “Steve and I met at a dive bar. So we were going for ‘elegant dive bar.’ Think of your favorite dive bar and imagine a wedding there. That’s what I was going for. Our reception was in a barn but I wanted to stay away from rustic. I’m naturally drawn to darker colors so I wanted to go with black, then paired it with sunflower yellow and cranberry to make it autumn-y. I loved how it turned out.”<\/p>\n Q: We\u2019re so honored that we were a part of your special day! What made you choose Azazie?<\/strong><\/p>\n “I wanted my bridesmaids to look and feel great. Azazie had so much variety so I let my girls choose whatever black chiffon dress they wanted. They all picked different ones and they looked amazing, yet cohesive. I hope since I chose black<\/a> they will be able to re-wear their dresses someday!”<\/p>\n Q: How did you decide on your wedding venue?<\/strong><\/p>\n “I actually attended summer camps at our venue. It’s a living history museum. I have such fond memories of dressing up like a pioneer, writing with feather quills and playing games from that era. Our guests were able to walk around the museum before the ceremony so it was a win-win. There were some really great locations for photos on-site.”<\/p>\n Q: Many of our readers are brides-to-be. Do you have any tips for these lovely ladies?<\/strong><\/p>\n “Don’t get hung up on the small details. No one will notice if you don’t have a welcome sign or ceremony programs or whatever. As long as your guests are fed and comfortable, the rest is just a bonus! Q: We loved hearing all about your special day! Do you have anything else you\u2019d like to add?<\/strong><\/p>\n “Our photographers had us jog down a stone path for our video. They asked me if I thought I could do it in my dress (which had a massive skirt and train) and I enthusiastically said yes. I took off running and completely bit it. Fell hands first onto the path. I got a cut\/blister on the top of my foot but I was otherwise unscathed. We both laughed it off and enjoyed the rest of the evening!”<\/p>\n
\nHe also agreed we should get a dog! He’d never had one before so it took some convincing. Sgt. Pepper, a French bulldog, is now two years old and cute as ever. We actually got engaged the night before we picked Sarge up!”<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\nMake sure to drink water on your wedding day! Maybe one of your bridesmaids can be on water duty…forcing you to down some water throughout the day.
\nTake a few minutes, just you and your partner. Take it all in. Steve and I had a few minutes after our ceremony to just enjoy the moment. I highly recommend it!”<\/p>\n
