April 6, 2024

Hear from Her

Q: What is your favorite thing about your husband?

A: He is the life of the party, and we always have so much fun together.

Q: How did you know he was the one?

A: I don’t think there was a specific moment where I knew Jacob was the one. We started dating in high school, so in many ways, we grew up together. We’ve supported each other through so many different stages of life, and over time, it just became clear that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him!

Q: What is one detail that stands out when you think back on your wedding day?

A: One of my favorite details from our wedding was the photo booth. I loved going through the photo gallery after our wedding and looking at all of the fun pictures of our family and friends enjoying themselves that night.

Q: What surprised you the most about your wedding?

A: I was surprised at how stress-free I was the entire day. We had the best wedding planner, vendors and venues to thank for that!

Q: What surprised you the most about your wedding?

A: I was surprised at how fast the day went by. Savor it!

Q: Did you disagree on anything during the planning process? If so, what was it, and how did you compromise?

Q: If you had one piece of advice for engaged couples, what would it be?
