Tell Us Your Love Story

How did you meet?

We met at Orange Park Medical Center ER where we were both working.

How did he put a ring on it?

Kevin proposed on 4th of July at his dad’s property in New Hope, PA at a party surrounded by 100+ friends and family members. It was a truly unforgettable moment.

Where did you draw inspiration from?

For the original wedding, I allowed my husband and my father in law to plan it all, and I just showed up! But for this vow renewal, Kevin and I drew inspiration from Pinterest as well as recommendations from our photographer.

What made the wedding personal to you?

Our renewal was incredibly personal and intimate as it was just the two of us.

What were you most nervous or excited about?

We left Florida to skip the hurricane weather for our original wedding in September 2017 in hopes of perfect fall weather for a wedding in Pennsylvania, and we got hit by a hurricane there instead! This poor weather led us to do this wedding renewal photo session in Jacksonville Florida (five children later!!!) for a second shot at pictures without the torrential downpour of rain! It made for the perfect romantic setting.

Now, the most important part – the Dress!

Tell us about your dress?

I always wanted to find a simple yet elegant wedding dress, and I completely fell in love with the gorgeous LINA gown by Tara Lauren.

What stockist did you get it from?

One Bridal, FL

What was your most memorable moment from your day?

For the original wedding, exchanging our personal vows in front of all of our friends and family. For the renewal, it was the romantic setting, and memories that we have 5 kids later.
