My favorite memory from my wedding day was after the ceremony was over, while the guests were at cocktail hour, my husband and I had about 20 minutes to just be with one another and take a deep breath before heading into the reception. We had 350 people at our wedding so getting a few minutes together before the hectic party started was definitely a moment I will remember forever.

I knew my gown was the one because when I tried it on, I immediately lit up. I could not stop smiling, and I loved all the little details it had. Everyone agreed that the dress was made for me!

I wanted to get my gown cleaned and preserved so one day if I have a daughter, she might be able to wear it, or parts of it!
