In her own words

Q: How did you meet?

A: Technically, we met in preschool, when we were in the same class. However, neither of us remember that, and because we went to different schools, we did not know about each other until we met at a football tailgate at the University of South Carolina. It wasn’t until Kristin told her mom about Bradley that she found out that they had actually met a long time ago!

Q: What was your favorite part of the wedding day?

A: Our favorite part of our wedding day was having all of our family and friends together and dancing the night away!

Q: How did you choose the venue where you were married?

A: Kristin and Bradley both attend Mount Tabor Lutheran Church; Kristin grew up in this church, and it is a big part of her family.

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

A: I chose all of the music for the wedding. My pianist was my high school chorus teacher and continues to be a very special person in my life. The soloist is a close friend of Brad.

Q: Did you have something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue? What were they?

A: Yes, I had brooches that belonged to my grandmothers and great-grandmothers attached to my bouquet as my something old and something borrowed. Something new was my dress, and my something blue was my peep-toe satin blue shoes.
