The overall intimacy of the wedding gave it a very different feel. We were able to look into the eyes of all our guests during the ceremony. This was really special.”
We didn't plan on doing a father-daughter dance at all, but my mom was like, 'You need to get up there with dad.' He was singing along, and it was really, really lovely.”
We looked at high-end caterers, but logistically, it didn’t make sense. So, we ended up having Mexican food from my grandfather's favorite restaurant, and it was $200 for the whole meal.”
We always asked ourselves: Is this bringing something special to the wedding? Does this feel right for us? And if the answer was no, we didn't do it.”
Having a planner was a lifesaver. My best friend, Kaylee, does wedding planning as her job, so that was her gift to us."
