{How did the two of you meet?} We met through my sister 5 years ago.
{What is your proposal story?} He proposed to me on the back of his truck at the place where we always go fishing.
{What inspired your wedding and reception locations?} I have worked at the Olive Branch for the past 7 years and have helped with many receptions there and loved the place.
{What inspired your color scheme/theme/flowers?} The florist. I just let Mrs. Dede (the owner of The Olive Branch) do what she thought was best.
{How did you pick “the dress?”} My sister (Brittany Furlow) actually picked the dress out and I tried it on and I fell in love with it.
{What’s your favorite unique accessory? Is there a story behind it?} My husband’s family gave me a pearl necklace which I wore the day of the wedding. The pearl actually was from his grandmother. It made me feel so special when it was given to me. It truly made me feel a part of their family.
{What was your favorite part of the wedding planning process?} Going and seeing the different places to have the wedding and the wedding reception.
{Besides the actual wedding, what was your favorite moment of the wedding day?} ?} Seeing Cole for the first time. All day I had wanted to see him and talk to him and when I finally did it was magical. Definitely worth the wait!
{Your favorite picture from the big day?} I love them all! But the picture of us looking at each other in the courtyard with my bouquet down by my side is by far my favorite.
{The picture that represents the two of you best?} The pictures with us leaving with the band. We were so happy and had such a great time with all the people we love. I think our faces say it all!
