In her own words

Q: How did you meet?

A: We were introduced by a friend at the beach.

Q: When did you know your fiance was “the one”?

A: On our second date, about five years after meeting.

Q: Tell us about the proposal.

A: He took me to the pier at Surfside Beach, where we first met, and proposed at sunset.

Q: What part of the wedding day are you most looking forward to?

A: I’m looking forward to seeing my fiance after I walk out with my father. He will be seeing me in my dress for the first time.

Q: How did you choose the venue where you will be married?

A: It is very beautiful with a lot of woodsy and natural elements. As my fiance and I spend a lot of time in the woods or on the water, it was a perfect fit.

Q: What was the significance of the music played during your ceremony?

A: The song I am walking out to in the ceremony is “Can’t Help Falling In Love With You” by Elvis Presley, sung by my good friend Alia Hakim. It is a beautiful song that not only makes Mark and I think of us, but it’s also a classic – how we feel about our relationship.

Q: Will you have something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue? What are they?

A: Something old is piece of my mother’s wedding dress that she is having embroidered with a special message for me to wrap around my bouquet. Something new is my wedding dress and pretty much everything I will be wearing. Something borrowed: I will be wearing my sister’s veil that she wore in her wedding six years ago. Something blue: My sister bought me a navy blue personalized hanger for my wedding dress, and all of my bridesmaids will be in navy blue – they are my something blue!
