Tell Us Your Love Story

How did you meet?

It’s not super romantic, but we met online! Our first date was in San Francisco while Nathan was living in Northern California and I was in Vegas. We went for cocktails and then to a food truck event that was happening by the Bay. It turned into basically a 38 hour date, we went to Golden Gate Park the next day and bought a piece of art that is now in our living room.

How did he put a ring on it?

He proposed at the Point Loma Lighthouse in San Diego. He managed to keep it a surprise, and the views were amazing!

Where did you draw inspiration from?

Mostly Pinterest and Instagram! Our vision for the wedding changed a lot from when we first started planning since we had to postpone due to COVID. I ended up trying to keep the theme more classic and timeless while also adding in some touches that made it feel “Vegas”.

What made the wedding personal to you?

I think that our wedding felt so much like us, instead of us trying to pretend to be something we’re not for one day. It was intimate and fun, and we were surrounded by all of our family and friends that were just so happy to all be together after so long.

What were you most nervous or excited about?

I guess I would say I was most nervous about the timeline of things for the day but once we were there, I got so caught in the moment and didn’t stress as much about the small details. Mostly I was excited to finally be marrying my best friend and starting our life together!

Now, the most important part – the Dress!

Tell us about your dress?

My dress is definitely the thing I got the most compliments on! The lace detail was so perfect. ISOLDE felt new and modern but also timeless. Plus, it was also so comfortable which I wasn’t expecting from a wedding dress. I wish I could wear it again and again!

What stockist did you get it from?

Grey Pearl Bridal, NV

What was your most memorable moment from your day?

Sitting with my husband at the dinner table after toasts and just soaking everything in is always the first memory that comes to mind. We just looked at each other and were like “We did it! Now let’s have some fun!”
