J and I tied that knot in Camarillo, California on August 16, 2025.
Before we were engaged [or even dated] we practically grew up together. We met as 5th graders, went on to have live own lives in college, then reconnected in our early twenties.
We fell in love, worked on our careers, and grew individually. He got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife on our 6th anniversary.
We quickly selected a wedding date that was only 9 months out.
I was stressed for about a split second before everything fell into place. When I walked into Ever After Bridal, I didn’t have any expectations to pick a dress. The shop is gorgeous, the staff was lovely, and my girls were spoiled with prosecco and vibes. Suddenly, this Maggie Sottero gown was on my body and I was in love. EAB made everything so easy and made me feel like I had all the time in the world to think and choose.
Even with a tight deadline, EAB had my dress exactly when they expected it and I had all the time I needed to prepare for my big day.
I loved planning my wedding, wearing my gown, and reminiscing with my husband about our fairytale wedding at Casi Cielo Vineyards.
