HOW DID YOU TWO MEET?

Zach and I met my freshman year at Auburn at a party. I was playing with a cute black lab at the party, and it turned out to be Nibbles, Zach’s dog. We like to joke that she introduced us.

THE PROPOSAL

Zach proposed on a beach trip in Orange Beach with my family. He pretended he left something on the beach and needed me to help him find it. Even though it was pitch black dark, I went along with it and was so surprised when he got down on one knee.

WEDDING DRESS DETAILS

My wedding dress was made by Heidi Elnora, using pieces of my mom’s wedding dress. It’s super special because I am one of four girls, and the three of us who have gotten married have all had our own style dress while still using the lace and fabric from our mom’s dress.

WEDDING PLANNING ADVICE

Enjoy it, and don’t stress about the details! Pick things you love, and the day will be perfect!
