What is your favorite memory from your wedding day?

We both said this one at the same time: The first look!

If you could, is there anything you would have done differently?

No, we were so happy with the way that our wedding day unfolded, it was everything that we had wanted.

Best piece of advice for brides and grooms?

The best advice that we could give to brides & grooms is to not sweat all the details of the wedding, but focus on the commitment that you are making to one another.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?

Cancun, Mexico

Final Reflections:

It was the best day of our lives! After 7 years dating we both agree that we couldn't wait a moment longer to start our lives together.
