{How did the two of you meet?} We actually attended High School together and were acquaintances until a month before Corey moved to Seattle, Washington. We happened to have similar friends and wound up hanging out together at various events. That was when we discovered we both had a love for God, coffee and all things breakfast foods - so basically soul mates!
{What is your proposal story?} While Corey lived in Washington, I went to Ole Miss. We talked pretty regularly through FaceTime about school and life in Seattle (mostly about all the coffee shops) while I lived in my dorm. Three years later, Corey took me back to my dorm and proposed right in front of it. He wanted to start a new beginning where we both grew to love each other. He also had a jacket on while it was 80 degrees outside to hide the ring box which I think is the cutest thing!
{What inspired your wedding and reception locations?} We both wanted a relaxed environment and his parent’s backyard was the perfect location to start our forever.
{What inspired your color scheme/theme/flowers?} Since we both have a love for coffee and breakfast foods, we both felt it was only natural to have a brunch wedding with coffee bar. However, the colors kinda all just fell together! I wish I could say I spent months planning the colors, but I didn’t even see all my bridesmaids dresses together until the big day. The flowers were perfect and gorgeous and everything just seemed to go together with our brunch theme!
{How did you pick “the dress?”} I went with my mom and sister to casually look at dresses one day. After being given a couple of dresses to try on, my sister ended up picking out this beautiful blush dress off the rack. At first I thought it would be way too big, but I knew it right when I put it on that it was the one. It was a magical moment.
{What’s your favorite unique accessory? Is there a story behind it?} My aunt kept my late grandmother’s cake topper and offered it for my cake. I was so honored that I could have a piece of her at my wedding.
{What was your favorite part of the wedding planning process?} My favorite part would have to be asking my bridesmaids and maid of honor if they would stand by my side.
{Besides the actual wedding, what was your favorite moment of the wedding day?} When I was able to take a step back after the ceremony and watch my husband smile with his dimples and hug his mom. It was just a small moment that let me know that I made the right choice.
{What was your favorite surprise detail/moment about your wedding day?}
{Your favorite picture from the big day?} I loved them all!
{The picture that represents the two of you best?} When we were cutting the bride’s cake, we were starving so we were pretty excited to eat. I think that moment would definitely represent us.
