1.Well.... I was in florida two days after I was engaged with my family and there was a grand opening for a bridal boutique, so I decided to go in and have some fun! I feel in love with the first dress! Never thought I would like a big princess dress but once it was on I knew I had to have it! Well I didn’t order it from there since it was out of state, we came home and I went to school and figured I had time to purchase well my dress was DISCONTINUED! I then started to panic, I went online and hunted down places who sold the designer and finally found chrysies in canton happen to have it in their back room in a box!! I went straight away and bought it that night!

1.As for how you know, it gives you goose bumps and butterflies and you feel beautiful!

1. IT was perfect! You and Scotty made a huge impact on my wedding, myself and kevin enjoyed laughs and smiles with you all day! Our wedding party also still talks about how funny steve and scotty are together!

Did you see each other before the wedding? If not, did you like waiting or would you have rather done it differently? Tell me why or why not!

No we didn’t see each other

We provided a note to each other to read before, it was cute and helped build butterflies which made it feel like the first kiss all over again!!! WAIT TO SEE EACH OTHER
