The best part of the venue: “Outdoor ceremony area!”
Why did you pick your venue: “I wanted someplace that would give an Alaskan feel as far as scenery went and had some body of water, and the outdoor ceremony area was able to do that! I also loved the coziness feel it had inside. It was a close location in town for most guests and was a plus that it was wheelchair accessible because we needed it for my grandma.”
Favorite part of your gown: “Definitely the back details and the train!! I loved it so much!!”
Why did you pick your dress: “I feel more confident in dresses that hug my body in the right areas, and this dress did that. I loved the detailing in the lace and beading. The color complimented my skin perfectly. Again, I couldn’t stop feeling fantastic with the gorgeous lower back detailing, and THAT TRAIN!!! I wanted to be a little bit “extra” for my wedding and the train was the WOW for me. I felt AMAZING in it!”
Three words to describe your day: “Beautiful, happy, heartwarming”
Your inspiration for the wedding: “I wanted it to feel like me, so I really stuck to my wants and needs. I wanted to go for a romantic light and spring feel with a touch of elegance and warmth.”
Any other fun memories / moments from the day: “We both didn’t cry during the first look or walking down the aisle; they were both very happy moments (especially because I surprised him during our first look with a Sponge Bob blow up costume LOL) but it definitely hit me when we danced to our first dance song, “I Get to Love You” by Ruelle. that’s when I started crying. I also didn’t take off my veil for our first dance, so while we were dancing, Chong kept accidentally stepping on it, being as it was a cathedral length veil. So he just picked it up and wrapped it around us. It was very funny but also felt very intimate that he wrapped us both in it and closer together.”
